Ripspeed PSR-135A

Any opinions on this active subwoofer ? Apparently it will fit under the seat. Halfords are doing it with the wiring kit for £49.99. I don't need huge amounts of bass just a bit to give some fullness to the sound. Is it a

or a

?

Big thumbs down from me.
Any active sub for that price new is going to sound rough.

petecod · 25-01-2008, 09:46

Yeah i kind of thought that would be the case

cheap tat

heres a more expensive on without wiring kit

Impulse SLB-300 - Car Audio from Bassjunkies

I cannot put anything in the boot, so i am seeking the next best solution for a little more bass.....anyone have any ideas?

Mate you get what you pay for (go for a good brand you recognise, ripspeed are rubbish). Active subs tend to be p1sh anyway. Stuff a small 2 channel amp in the boot with a 10 inch sub under it and your sorted. Cant go wrong with JBL - Good quality gear for the money you pay.

Edit: Boot space.

Have a look at this mate: Blaupunkt THb 200A active subwoofer. Active and fits under seat.

Whats your budget?

Thanks for the link, i budgeted for £150, i thought ripspeed was a bit rubbish anyway, best to stick to brand names. pay cheap pay twice ?

Thats true mate. My pops has a full Blaupunkt system in his car. 6.5" speakers all round. Sounds pretty punchy and bassy and the SQ is quite good, Not Diamond or JL good but they do the job for him. I've recommend a sub but he needs his bootspace too - I think it would be great with a sub. I certainly havent looked back.

Keep us updated on your next few moves

Grundig!! They went bust in 2003! A turkish company took them over. I wouldnt touch their stuff...

Have you considered simply upgrading the main speakers? You'll get a little extra bass and a better over-all sound at a lower price. Better than just a thump thump thump sound all the time.

can believe i typed grundig when i meant blaupunkt
