Am I Stupid for wanting this?

[BlackDeathGt]

They are legacy red subs, 12 inches, for 11.99 each, is that a good deal for these subs, or am I getting ripped off? I dunno Sh*t about car audio, so, someone tell me please? I know I could go better, but I'm broke, and not a nut about getting my car to "Thump", I just want some more bass than stock, and these seemed really inexpensive.

they are absolute $hit, but if you want a little bump that's not really tight or good sounding even, go for it.

I think they're good enough for what you want....BUT

Once you get a little bump, you're gonna want MORE bump, and these subs suck, so maybe just get some good subs, and a good amp, and keep the volume low...Bass is addictive, once you've got a little, you need more.

Yes bass is very adictive. As far as those subs go... you know what they say you get what you pay for.

$12 damn thats cheap...I have steaks in my freezer that cost more than $12 lol

I'd save a little more and get something at least decent.

When you get the bump bug....It can get very bad!!! :D

[2000RAMAIRGT]

hell just buy like 5 of them ..it should sound pretty good

[AmIGrand]

:lol:

You can get DEI, MTX, Rockford Fosgate, Xtant, Prestige, Kenwood Coustic.... The list goes on.

All of these companies offer decent woofers for $39 to $59 each reatail that sound pretty darn good. You should be able to find a decent 200 to 300 watt amp for well under $200 installed with some of those brands as well.

I also see a lot of people here using the Infinity Basslink. While I'm not a big fan myself, it adds pretty good sound for well under $300 installed.

yes you would be stupid to buy that. anything that says legacy is ****

[Haunz]

I am going to agree that you shouldn't buy those subs... only because you should spend a little more $$$ and buy the 1000 watt version....

Fot them money you can't go wrong...

lol ok check this out..i now a dude that bought a 20 inch radioshack sub....and a 600 watt radioshack amp and built a box for it..and get this....it had more low end than any other car with a grand worth of stuff(this was like 10 years ago when i was in high school)and i think he spent like a total of 50 bucks or some sh!t
......i know this has nothing to do with the legacy subs.....it just kinda reminded me of this............and i thought it was funny

[AmIGrand]

OK, truth and dare time: Yes you can make cheap-ass stuff sound good. At Car Toys in Seattle, we had these $10 woofers. R/T, I think. They advertised them, but when people saw what pieces of crap they were, they'd look at our cheap Rockford series 1 as an alternative.

Well one day, an installer and I got REALLY bored, and since nobody had ever heard these things, we decided to build a box. SOMEHOW, we got the theil/smalls for the things, and plugged 'em into the computer box software. A box for 2 12's was over 8 ft^3!! lol

Well, with a little refiguring, we pulled off a box that was 4 ft^3 ported, with 4 12's mounted clamshell isobaric. Still huge, but doable. We built it, and hooked it up to his old Punch 150 in the back of his Geo Metro - it hit hard, and clean as hell!! Not high-end JL loud, but really solid bass, and actually extremely accurate. After hearing it, the store manager forbade us to ever let a customer hear that car. lol

BUT - there is a moral here.... In a smalle box, a single Series 1 Punch 12 that sold for $69 sounded just as good, and just as loud. So yes, cheap subs can rock - but their better-made brand-name counterparts are better.

Box is everything, people.... :thumbs:

Something you might wanna consitter getting . Just my .02
