Should I go with 2 12 SSA or 1 12 icon

[Stephen93s10 40]

I have a 98 s10 ext and can't decide whether to go with 1 icon or 2 SSA's I want deep and loud bass. Any suggestions? And any good Amps under 350$ that you can think of? Thanks

Why not just ask in the same thread you already created?

[Stephen93s10 40]

idk I just created an account and am not sure of posting on different threads and everything, but do you have an opinion on 2 12" SSA's or 1 12" Icon? Also some good Amps that are under 350$? I would appreciate it

[shizzzon 461]

Huh?

 

SSA makes Icons so 2 12" SSA what vs 1 SSA icon?

[ricksi30 923]

What is your total budget?

[Stephen93s10 40]

My budget for subs, a box and amp Is about 750$

[Stephen93s10 40]

Shizzzon

I meant 2 sundown SA 12s or 1 SSA icon

[pro-rabbit 64]

Save up a tad more and do a custom enclosure and the SSA Xcon 12"

 

Should leave around $140-150 or so..then add a little bit and snag an amp.

[Stephen93s10 40]

Pro-rabbit your suggesting I go with 1 12" Xcon, for that price I can purchase 2 gcons. Which would have deeper bass and be louder?

[pro-rabbit 64]

That is subject to the install, enclosure, and amplifier.

 

Also, a dual 12" enclosure will cost more then a single 12" enclosure thus upping your overall budget again.

How much room do you have and are you building the box?

[Stephen93s10 40]

I'm kind of new when it comes to car stereos, but behind my sear of my s10 I have approximately 4.5 ft in width, 2 feet in height and almost 2 feet in depth.

[Stephen93s10 40]

I meant behind my seat, not sear

[EPerez 236]

Why not some 15s? Looks like you have the room for them.

[Stephen93s10 40]

Well I have a budget of about 750$ to spend on a box, amp, and subs. Do you think 2 15s would fit, and what kind. I want something with deep bass and that is loud.

[smashedz28 110]

If this is my cousin 2 15's won't fit bro lol.

[Stephen93s10 40]

Lol chris, haha?

[pro-rabbit 64]

Remember that as you increase the size of the driver the enclousre requirements go up as well. This also means that the price for an enclosure goes up as more material is needed and if you have one built shipping will start to chip away rather quickly with larger enclosures.

 

A single 12 or dual 12 setup would be ideal for your situation.

[smashedz28 110]

Lol chris, haha?

Yup. Glad your here. These guys know there shit. Only place I go when I have questions.

I had 1 15" Fi Q in that truck and it was cramped. With the seat all the way back you lose a lot of room.

[smashedz28 110]

I found some pics of a few different boxes I had in there

Can't find any of the sa12

Well, idk what to get 2 SA 12s. Maybe 1 icon 12. I want 2 12" gcons but don't have enough. What do u think? By the way my phone got shut off if you tryed text me lol. Probably be back on in a month.

[ricksi30 923]

Why not one 15" Icon?

[smashedz28 110]

It's gonna depend on your box man. I swear the single sa12 sounded the best. Big bad Treo ssx sounded like shit in the box I used. 15" q wasn't impressive either but I know it was the boxes I used. If I still had the truck I would do 2 12" gcons. I can help you with the box when your ready. A 15" icon would be sweet I'm sure. Never used an actual ssa sub but I want to hella bad. Let these guys throw out some ideas

[Stephen93s10 40]

What do you guys think about the fi q 15 compared to the icon 15?

[Stephen93s10 40]

About how much will it cost to build the box? Did u build the box for your 2 sa12s? If not how much did it cost and from where.
