I need your opinions on an Eclipse Titanium SW9122. It’s the DVC 4ohm version. Id be running it off a RF 1000bd amp.

Is this a good sub for SQ? I take it that this sub can only take 750w rms? Sorry.. im still a newbie

BTW, does anyone have comments about the Titanium series in general?

Here are the specks on it..

. Polyether Surround
· Titanium Cone
· Dual Mirror-Image Spiders
· Aluminum Voice Coil Former
· "Bottomless" Design
· Aero-Vented Pole Piece
· Cast Aluminum Frame
· Triple-Stacked Magnet
· Small Sealed-Box Enclosure
· Continuous Power Handling: 750W
· Music Power Handling: 1,500W
· Dual Voice Coil
· QCA (Quick Change Assembly)

High end sub, but very pricy.

Amazing sub for someone with money to waste.

There are equivalent subs that are available for nowhere near the cost ... but not many that look even half as good.

I can get it for $380.. is that a good deal?

thats a retardedly good deal, i would buy as many as i possibly could.....i would even drain my Visa to buy them. Resell them for 2x's that and then rub the profits all over my naked body.

New or used? Killer subs..sound great, get loud, and look sweet doin it.

Here's a 12 in action... http://extraserver.com/uploads/EclipseTi122.mp2

Good sounding sub that will work well in a small box. Requires lots of power to reach full potential. Will take more than the recommended rms rating with ease.

I would suggest 2-3 times the RMS power. However, don't give it that power in a huge box.
It'll nearly reach xmax with 600 RMS if you put a 20Hz note through it. I know mine did. Very scary.
Yes it's quite alright for SQ. I don't know about the 12, but my 15 likes to not play any bass above around 60Hz. Like an automatic cut. I think it was the box, though.
$380? Let me guess.... ebay. I got my 15 for less, but it's still a good bargain.

Gilligans Hitch freaks out every time I tell him I'm going to seal my Ti.

Oh, and I really don't know what's wrong with Eclipse, but that pic is of a 12" Aluminum, not the Titanium. It's got significantly more surround to it than that!!

Chadxton,

Naw, Im getting it off my buddy.. he had it for about 2 months, so its used. I'll be running 1000wrms to it (unless my RF 1000bd does even more, which I hope) so I think that it would be enough power for the sub. I dont think I could fit a 15" Ti in my little Acura 1.6EL [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]
