Let say I bought about 6 $25 10" subs. The specs on them really aren't that bad...they're probably not the real specs..but anyway...let's say I did this.
I ran them off a 200.2 (I say that enough)...
what should I expect from a setup like this?
I've heard that even some of the worst subs can sound good in a multiple setup with the right amp. That's what I'm doing...I think..=0)

Lol 25$ subs. Whew what kind are they? I dont know if they well sound good but hell even the crappy subs get high #'s when in groups. Look at it this way, you wont have to really worry about blowing them expensive subs :P

I've bought an $8 sub from them before!!! LOL!!
I still use it too!! It adds a nice little amount of bass to my stereo in my room. I put it in a pretty large box...and run it off my stereo amp. It handles 40 rms..but hey...my stereo only puts out about 25x4. I hooked it up to the rear channels..and left my mids and highs on the fronts.

I saw some Legacy 10" subs at a pawn shop yesterday and they were 29 bucks apiece. They looked decent, I might add. I was tempted to buy a few but my better senses prevailed. Legacy is made by Sounds Around, the same company that makes Lanzar, Pyle, and Pyramid. I bet 30 of them would sound real nice, but powered by a good quality amp of course.

I think I'll get 8 of them so I can at least get a 4 ohm mono load...since each one is 8 ohms. Plus this will add some more cone area..and boost the rms limit up to 560 watts instead of 420.

I forgot one thing....this will be a final system for a long time. NOT a little crazy thing like Tech's "Wall O' 6x9's" idea.
I'm planning to keep this setup for a while.
Dukk...what's wrong with getting some dust covers?!?! =0) I just want to impress the idiots around here!! They'll be like "Well Hot D*** son!! You must have yourself a heap load of money." Then they'll spit out a big wad of chewin' bacci. hahaha

They should sound alright in the right box. I have heard cheap flea market subs sound good with the right box and a decent clean amp powering them.. They will just reach their limits before a more expensive sub will..

They're generic units from DLC. That's dealer cost Canadian, so it should be near retail US. Now a speaker this cheap is probably more a woofer than subwoofer, but with enough of them. The next cheapest I have found are the Patriot Import series from R/T.
I can't believe we're discussing this!

i bet u anything the daytons will not take the 70 watts RMS, a friend of mine bought the 130 watt RMS ones for temporary fronts in his house, put them in the recommended box on a 100 watt RMS amp and they couldn't handle it. i'd expect 30-50RMS for the 70 watt ones

Ok, this is a story I heard... Can't say if its true or not BUT... I was told by Gord Stansel, while I was at Mobile Dynamics, that he got 140db from 2 6" radio shack subs... It sounds whacked but he said it was true... He also said that a buddy of his used cheap subs to compete, he did get dustcaps and just glued them on so no one would laugh... It got me thinking!?!

A friend of mine had a all Radio Shack optimus car system which was decent, powered 1500 watts and change, 4 10"s and 2 5x7"s. All packed into a little Jetta

Hmm about that cheating comment. Well he would not be the first person to do that at a show. Also hmmm..Cheating? Would he get a few db advantage Just from changing the dust cap? Lol....

I hope those subs/woofs handle at least 70 rms. If not..that amp would blow out every single one of them...even if I had 8 of them.
At partsexpress' site...it says they handle 70rms and 105 max....
hmmm....that's kinda strange looking to me...but I figured that they wouldn't lie about the power handling...i mean...isn't that false advertisement or something?
