Sub question
Hi I have 2 10" alpine subs 6102 which are about 12years old. One of
the subs broke the connection from the little flexible wire. I braught them to a shop to fix them and would charge about $25 to fix. My question is is it still worth putting money into these old subs, they can handle 150W rms 200W peak. Or should I get new Pioneer TS-W255C 10" subs for $79 which take 350w nominal 700W peak or Rockford Fosgate P110S4 Punch 10" $99 which are 150W nominal 300W peak? I will be powering them with a pionner gm-6000f amp 480W total or 110x2. May upgrade amp for subs and keep pioneer for 6x9. Also is 1 10" sub enough or should I stick with two. I had two before but space is limited? Lastly can we mix subs example buy 1 pioneer to replace Alpine and keep other Alpine till it completely dies? Decisions decisions.... Thanks |

for me, i would never invest money into old items unless they holds a
significant "remembrance" value(like a gift from a old flame...bhahha) but then it all depends on each individual... |

Personally I would go for new subs. They'll most likely sound better
anyway. Just get ones that match the output of your amp so you're not underpowering them. Also, you can mix two different brands of subs but in general it's not a very good idea. Believe me, I've tried and they'll work but it won't sound very good. On Sat, 12 Feb 2005 14:22:47 -0800, Sal wrote: Hi I have 2 10" alpine subs 6102 which are about 12years old.
