Superb quality active 12" sub

Advantages: High power, Good Response, Simple to use and install
Disadvantages: None

...been a waste. The FLi has an adjustable crossover frequency for different types of music - set it low for deep growling basslines such as those found in DnB or higher for the kick found in trance and techno. You can set this to your preference as well as the gain to adjust how bassy you want your music. Being an active sub, you won't need an additional amplifier as it has one built in. This makes it both good value for money and simple to set up ...
...for a small fee. FLi sell a wide range of accessories for the Fli trap, including cone protectors, stickers, a remote control for the frequency and gain controls, and a capacitor, which claims to ensure maximum power delivery. Overall this is an excellent car subwoofer, which has deep and fast bass response and is as loud as I can imagine anybody wanting in their car. I highly recommend it. ...

Fli Active 12 Subwoofer

Advantages: Reasonable-ish value and very nice design
Disadvantages: Simply doesn't sound deep or loud enough

I bought a Fli Active 12 online for about £70 a while ago, and was dissapointed with this sub. I should point out it is the mark two, ported version, and I think there has since been a more recent version since. In comparison I also have a very cheap looking 12" sub with a cheap, less powerful amp but much bigger enclosure and this sounds much better than the Fli sub I am sad to say (both louder and deeper). I can only assume this is the enclosure ...
...one (typically 4ohm). The Fli sub won't produce very deep bass and will not go loud enough to sound good on the move (at least not in a noisy older car like mine). It also has a nasty habit of distorting very obviously when pushed hard. On the plus side I do think the styling is great, it is fairly punchy sounding (if a little boomy for my tastes) and of course being active it's relatively easy to set up and install. Another thing I was unhappy ...

My review of the JVC CS-V 525 car speakers

Advantages: Price, crisp high ends and good mid range
Disadvantages: bass not very good, could be louder

...Here's my review of the JVC CS-V 525. Firstly I am actually sitting in my car whilst I type so I can give a more comprehensive description of the sound quality. I bought these speakers of Ebay for £21.99 with free delivery so the value is'nt bad. I replaced my stock Peugeot 306 door speakers with these and needed an adaptor to fit the wiring which again I got of Ebay for around £3.50. They are very easy to get working although the screw alignments ...
...which is on very tightly and holds it fine without any movement or rattles. One other dissapointing factor is I couldn't fit the speaker bracket or grill due to the irregular size so I just used my stock peugeot grills to cover the speaker. I prefer the understated look anyway. Now for the sound. I'm running these speakers off a Ripspeed CMR-1000 headunit and my first impression was a quite pleasent high end boost and clarity compared to my stock ...

Pure Bass. Buy it, play it, love it.

Advantages: Pure Bass, Great look, easy to install, great price.
Disadvantages: Might take some space, need a good amplifier

This speaker got 5th place on the Los Angeles Car Sound System Festival and was voted as the best buy deal in 2008. I was impressed by the performance of the bass test, the only way I can call that is "Pure bass". 800Watt is more than enough, the quality stays unbeaten. Satisfaction guaranteed. From my point of view, you won't need any other subwoofer; this will be a last link to any car's sound system. 4 medium speakers + this subwoofer and a ...

Get the most from your Car Sound System

Advantages: Great accustics for useing in the car
Disadvantages: Base and treble are in the same speaker and the base itself is poor without an equalizer

If you think to replace your old car speakers on something newer, then these are the right ones. Why? 1. Base and Pitch speakers 2 in one. 2. 130Watt is just enough for you as long as you sit less than a meter from them, your feet will be shaking. 3. Quality of the Treble and High sounds is hard to call "bad" 4. Although you could buy some additional Subwoofer for the maximum satisfaction, but as for the good base sound 0 this is just enough. ...
...car - it would be better to buy 2 pairs and put 1 pair in frond and one at the back, also it will be great to buy an 2 way (4 speaker + 1 Subwoofer) equalizer and cud down the high sounds on the back speakers. 100% satisfaction. ...
