I just bought a 12" RL-s and need to begin to think about the box. I'm stuck between going sealed or ported. I think I want to do ported but if sealed is best for this driver, then so be it. If I do go ported, I'm thinking right now trying 3cuft tuned to 28hz and if I go sealed, I'm thinking around 2.5 cuft or so (going by SS recommendations). Is 28hz too low or should I go higher? Another question I can throw in here is for power. Single 3 ohm kinda sucks but can be dealt with. Right now I'm thinking about buying a JBL BPX1100.1 (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_10482_JBL+BPX1100.1.html) or an older Orion 2500D which I think does somewhere around 1200rms at 3ohms. Anyone have an other amp suggestions for this sub? Thanks fellas.

I love the Mag, love everything about it. I'm running it sealed now but hope to be running ported here in a few weeks. Also saving up for better quality amps as well.

Lol, yea thats me. And yes, I just had the flatwind coil upgrade on it.

I used to run a 12" SSD off a Hifonics 1206d and had zero problems with the amp. As everyone knows, its over rated and tends to over heat but I have to admit I was pretty happy with mine. I have since sold the SSD and now run a 15" Mag off the Hifonics and it still is going strong. With that said, if I had the money back when I bought the amp, I would have chosen a different amp with better quality for the SSD. The ZX750.1 would be a nice choice for the SSD. So would the Sundown 1000D and another 40 other amps lol. Nice choice in the SSD, I liked mine a lot. I had mine in a 2.1cuft box tuned to 33hz and loved it. 33hz seems to be a favorite tuning for a lot of Fi users I know.

Good luck everyone. Quick question, what time is the drawing tomorrow you think? How long will the winner have to contact you cause if for some miracle I actually do win, I will be out of town until Saturday. Good contest IA, thanks for the chance.

This is true. Guess I have some thinking to do then. I actually meant to ask how I got the discounted price lol. Thanks Denim. BTW Denim, a few people on ecoustics (don't laugh guys lol) and I are trying to get a little meet together on July 26th either in PA or in Northern VA. If your interested, I can keep you updated.

Alright, fair enough guys. Thanks for the info. Looks like the way to go is Audison or to choose a cheaper route like Sundown. The Sundown 1000D shows up at $400 in the shop (I know it can be cheaper). And I'm pretty sure Sundown doesn't offer an amp that does about 150rms x 2 at 4 ohms do they?

Care to explain more? I already have the Mag installed and I love it so I am keeping it. I debated saving more and doing a system of about 3krms but I don't want to do electrical upgrades. So thats why I'm sticking to around 1krms. I'll do some more research on the Focal amps as well on Google.

I will be running a 15" SI Mag in a 3.5cuft box tuned to 30hz and should be running a set of Hybrid Audio Technology Clarus C61-2 components. I'm trying to achieve a nice SQ oriented set-up that can still deliver a nice little kick. I have it narrowed to either: The Audison LRX 1.400 for the Mag and the Audison LRX 2.250 for the components. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=4224 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=4287 Or The Focal FP1.800 for the Mag and the Focal FP2.150 for the components. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=4481 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=4480 Can anyone help me decide which direction I should go? I tried to do some research myself through Google and came up with some threads comparing these brands but it seemed almost like it was a split. Any help will be appreciated.

I was hoping this would keep falling so I would have a better chance lol.

I may have missed it and if I did then sorry. But does the 1200d have a rough date of when it will be sold to the public? Same question on the 250.2? Sorry if I missed it.

I'm an hour north of you. Ashame I just sold my Fi SSD or else I would have drove down there and let you hear it. I got a SI Mag if you were interested in hearing.

Thanks fellas

Sure you have thought about these already but if for some reason you haven't, Mario Party 8 and Mario Kart. Classic N64 games that got even better for Wii.
