Active Sub

I know a lot of people are running small active subs in their defenders, I have heard the 25cm focal is good. I was looking on eBay for an active sub and stumbled across this eBay Item No. 251332793080 looks like a rebranded focal access 10 inch, I compared it to a focal on eBay and thought it looked the same! what do you guys think? Too good to be true? 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I think it'll be too good to be true George. Blitz are claiming 180w - 90wx2 ???? It is just one speaker. Agreed it looks like it shares the focal casing, but seriously doubt the internals are the same. personally would save my pennies and buy the real one, even a 2nd hand one ???

My attitude is the real deal or not at all. Even second hand can be dubious, after all no one will tell you if something has been abused and you'll never know until it goes wrong. WeWillWinðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸

Thought it might be the case, having recently fitted 4 rear seats in my 90, a large sub is no longer an option and I don't thing the battery box (although I have now sealed it) would be a good sub enclosure. Therefore I think a slim active sub is the only way forward, just thought I might have stumbled across a bargain

Had the alpine swe 1000 which was great. Sold that to a fellow forum member for not alot

try and get an 8". Kenwood is a 6" it kicks out bass but lacks clarity. Any named brand will be an improvement. Chris (killer) has a 6" JL passive in his. It is larger than an active but the sound is far superior. I,m sure he will give you measurements

You sorted that door yet ???

Yes the JL sub does look like a good one, I think I need to get the dimensions, make a box the same size and see where it fits. Door is getting there Jim, I have been working away a lot but I have repaired the frame and re attached the door skin, just need to do the filler work and spray it up. Should be done before Christmas, I'll send some pictures when it's done

Quite expensive but the Kicker Hideaway is worth a look too. Suits the Defender design and powerful. WeWillWinðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸

Wow, £550 I think that is a bit much, I could get two focal for that! Just noticed that you are near me Steve, we should meet up

I am up near Bath.

Here's the one you want http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kicker-150W-Hide...20d90d9be2
Probably more powerful than most of the rest too. If you contact him and mention me you could possibly get a small discount. (Possibility)

No idea why those on Ebay are that stupidly height price, they retail at the £200 mark. WeWillWinðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸
