just wondering if anyone knows much about vibe gear mainly the BLACKAIR range

cheers

What would you like to know mate?

Installed some of the new BlackAir 6 components not long ago, some members on here have the BlackAir II 12 inch sub and love it. :D

Vibe is a pretty reputable brand, they make some nice gear.

i saw in my local autobarn they have the blackair twin12 enclosure with the twin 12" blackair subs and amp built in. box looks damn cool. 1200 they want for it, and 600 for the blackair 6" splits just wanted to know what people thought of them, they sounded wicked instore but abit iffy about spending that much on abit of audio gear. damn tempting tho by how they sounded

The BlackAir does get very loud and is built very tough. The composite cones are almost unbreakable.

Make sure you give the splits plenty of power, they soak it up really well.

If you would like a quote, PM me and I will see what I can do ;)

bb pellets or not i hate that guy for shooting at it,
so you seem to know abit about them, from the booklet i got today i would be thinking, 1x blackair cbr12 twin evo active enclosure with amp built in, 1x pair blackair 6 splits, and getting a blackair stereo 4 amp so i have 2 channels if i choose to add rear fill later on now it says here that the twin box comes with a amp wiring pack but doesnt say what but ill proberlly end up using the 0gauge single run, with a distro going into 2x 4gauge lots, should that work ok?

Not a bad idea in regards to the 4 channel amp.

Yeah recently the bro in law needed a stereo and we ended up with the BlackAir Components running off a Spacebox 4 amp. Works extremely well and he is over the moon.

If you choose both of those amps, they each run dual 30A fuses ( 60A total ). The high quality 8ga active kits ( which I'm sure is what they provide with the sub box - but could be wrong ) will just handle that current over a shortish run.

As configured and running rears, your total system power is potentially just over 1000WRMS. 0ga will be more than enough if you want to go down that path. 4ga can potentially be good for 150A.. so 0ga is plenty.

ME pick me! :P

Yeah I have the 12" sub and really like it. Being fed from a 1000Wrms Response amp in a sealed fibreglass box. Great value for money I reckon!

thanks guys, guess i know my next upgrade now to find a decent headunit

I've heard properly installed BlackAir splits and in my demo car I was using the BlackAir12. The gear is awesome. Looks good, sounds better.

Where in NSW are you? I can organise a listen to some of the gear if you want.

lol im in far north nsw up near the qld border :P

heard the gear down at autobarn and it sound sweet, went down and put a deposit on them today so should have them in a couple weeks. the demo model was sold but they are ordering one and one in for me, i noticed a bulk buy of option audio ssound mat going on, anyone know how this rates compared to dynamat

Shouldn't take that long to get it from VIBE mate. They're only just here in Sydney.

I've had nothing but positive feedback about the stuff mate. And at the price you can afford to apply twice as much :)

I can vouch for their gear, I had a set of their older SA-60 $619rrp and they were as good as my polyglass Focal's maybe even a fraction better in the high range.
Just run them off a quality amp :)
