Default subwoofer decision help

hi guys . i have just purchased a mutant twin 10" sub box off a mate for £7. and i am wanting to know what make of subs i should get.

i listen to a bit of bass music ( dj sammy and things like the need for speed music ) but i also listen to some rock music.

what make of subs do u guys reckon i should get. i like the look of the fusion speakers. but i have a price limit of about £70-£80

any replies will be muchly appreciated. thanks joshy

bit of a trek for you but worth it (obviously depending on end price - if i was closer i would get it myself lol)

ebay is your best bet for subs etc you will always find bargains and people selling stuff off cheap cos they fancy a change

I have to agree with 2fast. You get much better value with used speakers than new. Always check the frequency response of the speakers along with the RMS power rating and make sure you compare like with like.

hi guys. i ended up buying some new QX AERO 10 SUBS. £60 for 2. but i have one question about them. they have neons/l.e.d's in them and i dont understand , do u wire up the sub and then attach another two cables from the ones on the sub to the l.e.d. or do u attach 2 cables from the amp to the led connectors. has anyone got these subs that can explain how they did it.
cheers

well first of all . the instructions had nothing to say about the neon. it was 3 pages . 1st page . guarantee. 2nd page .was how to set ur amp and head unit so u dont blow them and the third was just a bit of paper with a pic of the diameter of the sub. but there were no instrctions on wireing them up. and i think the led's are still/constant/steady lights . not flashing. but considering i paid £60 for em both i would of thought they would supply instructions. well i plan to get the shop i bought them from to wire it all up for me. just so i dont mess it up. lol

the subs are called qx aero and there the 10 inch ones . if u wanna look em up

If it was me putting that sub in I would wire the neon up to the rear lights. So when you turn your lights on the ub will glow up.

You would probably need some new subs for that. But it's free to try it with the ones you've got. Just unscrew them turn em over and tighten back up.
