to be honest matty you arent gonna get a quality sounding setup from what uve got. If ur a DJ and are used to quality sound you need to be spending much more than that.

although for the sub, your really after a 450-500wRMS amp mate and then turn the gains down abit :)

And yes, if the amp is a 2 channel jobby then i would power the comps off that and get another for the sub :)

and p.s - DJ equipment and ICE is abit different, considering your listening to 50mm drivers, where as a 12" sub is a 305mm driver :lol: Plus Dj headphones arnt that clear in terms of sound quality (if you want to get picky).


you mugging me off:lol:

I was just trying to explain what kinda sound i was expecting.....are u saying the bigger the drive....the less accurate the bass is:boggle:

just wondering.

Also, i dought the sub is distorting...i was hoping you'd say its because the sub is shit, then i would only have to buy i new one.:lol:


yes, the bigger the driver the less accurate bass it produces, however, the bigger the driver the deeper bass the driver can produce - hence why, people after loud SPL systems usually go for 15" subs. Whereas, people who listen to rap/hiphop/rnb use 10" subs because they give a tight bass :)

but yes, the sub is abit cack, but i thick feeding it more juice will help alot....plus your comps will sound 100 times better with an amp :)



your a nice geeza :cool:

thanks for your help once again, i just dont shut up:lol:


:lol::lol:

tbh mate, i feel there should be a simple Corsa ICE FAQ sticky post with basic info, would help loads :)

it sounds like a 12" + sub, mines exactly the same even with good quality gear.

I too like to hear the music with a quality punch not a drone.

Go to 8 or 10" subs and sela them in as small a box as they allow.

About a week ago i purchased a sub, amp,box, and wiring kit deal from caraudiosecurity.com.Carnt complain about the service, it was great:cool:

heres the deal i bought.

http://caraudiosecurity.com/catalog/product_info.php+cPath+60_98_171+products_id+2939

Im not hapy with the sub at all, i dont know if its just me but all i here is noise...i'm a dj and use very expensize headphones which give clear and accurate bass and are brilliant...but this sub is just making humming noises....and making the car vibrate...spoiling my music:|

Now, the amp is 180 watts below the max RMS of the sub......is this the reason?

should i get rid of the sub, power the front infinity components with the infinity amp.....get a new top quality sub and amp to power it..wiring is all in place and i have the box.....i just want nice clear accurate bass and not noise:rolleyes: the chavs love it, and think its cool:lol: but it just sounds shit to me
