    getting it financed with bad credit after trading in the jeep. Paying monthy

    good deal. thats what i would be doing also. im saving up to put at least $12-$15,000 down so my monthly payment will be around $100-130 depending on what i end up getting. i hate paying monthly but im too impatient to wait and pay all of it upfront.

    ya mainly its between I.D., sundown, and SSA for a new sub. i was leaning towards the sundown or ssa but the I.D. really caught my attention recently

    Sadly, I have to report that ID is not owned by the same people anymore, having a close friend who has been part of their team for over a decade; we have discussed what that means about their products/customer service etc... and he basically told me it's going to be a lot like Diamond Audio's sell out... A good name, but product is dated and will probably never improve in terms of quality.

    If I had to choose an SSA sub for sound quality it would probably be the Icon, if you would like to keep the build budget friendly, the Gcon line is also an excellent choice.

    yea that sucks. i have an ID component set up front, ran off a sax 125.2 and they are amazing. i bought another set just incase for later on down the line. i was think of the IDmax but now im leaning more towards a sundown Z v.3. or an ssa sub

    would it be ok to run the Z in my current box? or should get a new one made

    2.0^3ft tuned to 33hz will be just fine for a single 12" Z.3

    I choose the Z.3 as well. I like to be able to get nuts with the volume control once in a while but my real passion is for clean, detailed music. The Z.3 fits the bill. Amazing driver.

    thanks man. yea its good to be able to reuse this box. argent audio really made it amazing, and was hoping to be able to keep using it incase i got another sub. now is it a big deal that the opening diameter isnt the same for each sub. im pretty sure the Z is a lil bigger, but not sure. the alpines diameter is 10 13/16"

    If you are set and have the money then buy the idmax, it's a very good driver. If not, an ssa icon is right up there, I would personally choose the icon, because its cheaper, cheaper to recone, and I have guaranteed direct customer service. JMO.

    whats ur take on the sundown Z? and ya i was looking at the icon also

    dont have any experience with the z, but from what I have read it's also a good sub and a good company...

    The fi q is another good option.

    ya im going to have to check out FI subs. haven't heard much about them

    Since money isn't a big issue. I'd go with the sundown Z. They work well in small boxes, which saves you trunk space. They sound good, and they will take a lot of power and get very loud. So if you upgrade your amp and electrical later, you won't need to replace the sub. You can measure the port area very easily. It's just the width times the height. If you have enough port area, you could run the Z in your current box.

    cool. just measured and its 14inches long by 2 inches wide. is that too small?

    oh and do you think i will need to upgrade my amp. saz 1000d does bout 1000watts at 1ohm and thats what i was going to drive which ever sub i would get. i want to try and not have to get an extra batt if i dont have to. and i have big 3 done. anything else?

    oh and im not sure but if i do get the z or ID and run about 1000watts to it, do you think i would need to get another batt. right now i got a sax 125.2 running my

    CXS62 V.2 - Image Dynamics 6.5" 2 ohm Components. and a Saz 1000d running my alpine 12" dual 4 ohm wired to 2 ohm so its seeing about 600 watts.

    i would get the dual 2 ohm Z and wire it to 1ohm so it would see about 1000watts. my car did fine with my previous setup, so i would be adding bout 400 watts.

    and then i will upgrade my sub amp later on down the line.

    i really like my sundown so

    id prob get the 1200d or 1500d for my next sub amp

    Do you have all the specs for your box? Have you thought about picking whatever sub that is on your list, that will perform the best in your current box? If you have enough port area, that would be a good way to save money and maybe be able to put that towards a more expensive sub.

    ya Argent Audio from here built it.

    2.0 cubes @ 33 Hz

    16 deep

    15.75 tall

    27 wide

    and i thought it wasnt the most ideal thing to do to reuse a box. and im not set on ID,sundown,ssa. im still trying to figure it out. and budget isnt a problem
