Help me choose a sub...

[smagistro 0]

Looking to go with a 12" sub hopefully but the box specs are the same if it was a 10 or 12 inch sub.

 

Specs are:

 

1 ft 3 sealed.

5.75 mounting depth

 

Going to be a stealth box custom made by someone other than jl...

 

I was thinking sundown sd12?  Anything out there that i could fit in a box like that and get some decent output?

What's your budget and power on tap?

[smagistro 0]

not to worried about the price.

[EPerez 236]

Well how much power do you have to throw on the sub?

[smagistro 0]

Going to run it off my cadence a7hc.  so 1200 max at 1 ohm.

[EPerez 236]

I was just checking out subs and the shortest depth I could find other than the sd was 6". Your best bet would probably be to go with the sd12.

Get a d4 sd12 and run it at 2 ohms off that amp.

why not just run a 2ohm at 1 ohm?  is that just cause 800 watts is safer?  I think the sundowns can take more than they are rated usually.

[EPerez 236]

It's rated at 500rms. 1200 is over double what it's rated. Running it at 2 ohms will give it plenty of power and most likely not be a noticeable output from 2 to 1 ohm. 2 ohms is also more efficient.

If anyone knows any other sub that could work in the application please let me know.  would like to see whats out there for this.

[EPerez 236]

Are you sure That's the deepest you could go?

[smagistro 0]

the box is going to be going down the side so max is like 5.25 maybe a touch more.  I know its shallow.

[EPerez 236]

5.25 or 5.75? Your first post said 5.75. Kinda sucks if you could get another in you could really open your options lol

[smagistro 0]

Sorry yeah 5.75 sd is 5.25 lol

Cramping a 12 will be worse than utilizing a 10. Some used options but new there isn't so much that is exciting at that depth.

What's out there used?

[EPerez 236]

That's what your going to have to find. Go on craigslist, the classifieds or other forums to find used.

I was just wondering if he knew if brands/subs that were that shallow off hand. I could find them used just don't know what to look for.

[S.DeYoung 967]

JL tw5 and the stereo integrity bm mkIII are both great shallow woofers.

[Impious 1,476]

JL also just released the 10TW3 which is pretty reasonably priced.

 

Alpine's Type R shallows appear to be pretty well designed as well.
