Whichever one fits your budget Q will be okay on the 1500D with proper gain setting. Q will also perform very well on the 1000D if that is more fitting to your budget.

I don't discuss who my suppliers are - but the SD-1 is made in the USA at an excellent factory

Yup, they make very high quality stuff... built to last 10+ years. I've toured the factory years ago, which is why I have decided to work with them on some of my woofers -- I really like how they do things.

They look like the old Comps because they are made at the same factory that Kicker and JL Audio used to use.

Awesome Looking forward to seeing it!

Thanks for the support guys

Yep, it is a very good sealed / IB sub -- but will work ported if you like Exactly.

Re-Coned X12 Prototypes added.

Yessir, correct.

Nick @ SI sells "invisible speakers" that go behind your drywall and excite the entire wall to act as a speaker... he installs them along with projector screens and will mount them behind the screen. Great for movies so the voices actually come FROM the screen itself

It's insignificant to make any real difference... just assuming around 0.1 ft^3 or so. If you want to impress your friends port them, tuned low Should still sound quite good.

Great set, but no where near the 130's... whachu mean by no where near the 130's???? do you mean i will be under that number or over? I think he means your component set won't get you into the 130s Meaning your sub stage, if it was in the 130s, would be louder than the front stage. I think they should make a new classification of car audio setups....It gets pretty loud and doesnt sound bad doing it...more like loud but doesnt sound like poo... lol Im pretty sold on the subs though w/ these subs would u go sealed or ported if i was looking for accurate deep and big bass? I'm not sure what your tastes are... they go pretty low sealed, but will have substantially more output ported.

Sundown SAX-100.4 right now One of these days I'll have 3x SAX-250.2s on the fronts... once those hit production.

1.75 - 2.25 ft^3 tuned to 30

The W3V3 actually has very similar T/S parameter, but it does have more x-max than the SD-1. I imagine it is also quite a bit more expensive.

Yes I believe Rich was doing mid to high 130s with two of the 12s. I run two of the 10" SD-1s ported in my daily car on an SAX-100.2 and it is in the low 130s. They are little subs, of course, so don't expect them to blow out your windshield or anything... but they do have great output for 200 watt RMS subs.

I have quite a few, order away if you want some

A pair on the BTL works quite well @ 1 ohm per amp (2 ohms strapped).

Just as a note... very few 1500Ds have come back to me, even from the ones warrantied at 1/2 ohm. I do not recommend it for very long term longevity. Quite a few people have had them running for over a year now at 1/2 ohm, but it does decrease the life cycle of the amp -- I doubt one would last 5+ years at 1/2 ohm under the best circumstances.

Or... maybe two SAE-1000Ds strapped @ 2 ohms?

Uh oh...

Indeed, I'm interesting to know how this beast does when you get it running

I'll have to call him up and ask for sure, I'll do so and get back to you.

Thats up to you... the original Z1 is a failure waiting to happen with no support whatsoever from DD. Not to mention that the Z1A is nearly double the power, and brand new, and a less failure prone design. Anyhow... LMK if you are interested and I'll see if I can set you up to purchase one from the guy I know that has it.
