So I have a bunch of subs lying around, wondering if any of them are worth their salt, and ideas on what to do with them.
Polk GNX124 12"
2x Unknown brand, maybe Ultimate, says "Attitude" on the dust cap. 10", dual voice coils, I think 80 oz magnets. Seem high quality.
Cheap "Dual" brand 10" car sub, pretty sure it's crap (?)
One of the Attitudes is in a custom built ported box built probably 15 years ago by a friend of the family who is an acoustic engineer. Using it as general purpose music/home theatre.
The other is in a huge ported box combined with the Polk. Box was built for a different 12" by the same guy, was my first sub, blew it out, put the polk in it, then was bored one day and stuck the other Attitude in it (before I knew anything about box building or tuning). It's loud, I hook it up for big parties or to fight back annoying apartment nieghbors who play crappy bass too loud or too late (I always win :D ).
Also 2 generic MTM 8" subs (part number 55-1190), one I just finished building a sealed box for today. Lower frequency response is lacking but the box went together very well, and I'd like to think I designed well. Has very nice response around 60-140hz.
If anybody could give me some specs or links for the Attitudes, or stories of your own, that would be much appreciated.
Also any ideas on what to do with the rest?
