« on: January 30, 2008, 06:09:21 PM »
hi all sifus.. i'm fresh with ICE.
i plan to buy a subwoofer wif around budget RM450.
currently, the marketplace gave me 2 choices.

12" peerless w/o enclosure, and the other RF p2 12" + enclosure.
wanna ask, which wan is better..?

http://www.icehifi.com/index.php/topic,1202.msg12782.html#msg12782

i'm listening to all kind of genre. sometime classical, pop, blues, hip-hop rap and ....
i dowan those ahbeng SPL system which only produce loud bassy boom..

as i noe, RF is more towards SPL.
but i audited my fren's fren with a P80rs + RF P2 12" + RF dono which series amp.
the bass sound good. very soft..
but someone tell me RF's bass is kinda hard. when listening to romance song bass will become slamming hard.

pls advise me.
oh ya, sure sifu ask for my current setup.
honestly, i don have good setup. all my items dono is fake or ori.

HU: quite old liao. sony HU, 1 pre-out.
driver: front -> RF fanatic 6.5" mid + hertz dono wat model tweeter.. comes together since the previous user claimed the RF ori tweeter is very high pitch.
rear : got 6"x9", but not using anymore.
amp: cheap cheap chapalang amp. 4 channel. *saving money to upgrade better amp.

driving wira, i edi done some sound proof wif cheap bitumen strip on both side front doors.
