Choosing a subwoofer

[BIG_ROJAS 0]

Hello all. My wife bought me a Hifonics BXi 1208 for christmas and i was in the market for a sub to use it with. I don't want to spend more than $250-300 on a sub though. I just want something good for my daily drive to work and back. I listen to mostly hard hitting rap. Another thing... would it be foolish to run my sub at 1 ohm with no upgrades to my electrical? Thanks in advance

I think one Sundown Z 15 would be a good sub. I don't think you would have that much of an issue running the amp at one ohms.

I drive a 2003 Buick Regal LS. I have a fair amount of trunk space.

o yeah my buddy had one... very nice cars. do you have leather?

the z15 is a great option.

i think thats a 100 amp alt... so i would just do a nice 4 gauge to the amp... you should be fine...

any thought to the style of box your looking for?

or if your willing to lose most truck space or leave room for the milk and eggs?

One Z 15 in a 3 cubic foot box with some aero ports would give you some good daily beat.

Heh yes i have leather. I wouldn't miss my trunk much if i had to lose it.. I haven't had any box ideas as of yet. But i have never had a 15... is it much differant from the world of the 12"?

Very simple design.... 16.5 by 16.5 by 26ish. Sub forward side ported. Should still have half your trunk space.
