benz280se

i just want to let the people at FI and all you bass heads know that this forum is awesome. the people here are a lot nicer so far and i get quick and knowledgable answers to my questions( and there will be more) and most of all i havent seen any of the petty bickering and put downs that i see on another popular excursion forum. i am glad i found this place. see now ive gone and gotten all emo on ya.

i am probably not going to go with all the extras expt maybe the copper coil for smooth response. if i go too crazy with the woofer power options i will be forced to stay on ebay to find another us amps 400 and use two to get knocking, which i might do just to be crazy later on but problem is the car they are going in is a 74 benz280se. there arent very many options for upgrading the electrical system besides batteries and grounds. i looked for a high current alt but cant find one.

check out my sig... hifonics amp cost $200 on ebay thanks for the suggestion.right now i am powering the current 12's with jl500/1 i had a rockford p8002 which had more raw power but didnt have the smooth but deep sound as the jl. i might save up and buy jl1000/1. its been a while since i have heard anyone with hifonics amps i dont remember thier sound qualty and how long they last under some pressure thats my biggest fear with buying those. oh and in the other car theres already a us amps 400 putting out 1200-1400@2ohms.

i have been seeing that these ssd's can take more with the options but i dont need all that. i just want a quality woofer that wont break the bank and will handle the current power i have to offer it. it's been a long time since i bought woofers and have been catching headaches trying to find something i like. i have two german esx signum twelves that i bought while stationed in germany 750rms-1500max these woofers give me a headache in my ford escape and they're grossly underpowered. i want the same quality in my other car since i am not in germany anymore but i think i may have found a winner with these all i need now is my tax return and ill be beatin down THE block with thes babies thanks for the replies

thanks 'preciate it might just get me some.

whatup folks i was hoping someone can help me i just looked into the fi website and found the ssd12's. whats confusing me is the different options. here is my setup alpine cd/mp3, audiocontrol3.1, audiocontrol overdrive, and us amps400 rated 1200-1400@2ohms. here is the question can a pair of ssd 12's handle this without costly mods? i am not a competitor but i do like to pound sometimes without fear. i really want those ssd's but i dont want to spend 400 dollars just to have to spend nearly 200 more just to get mods. this is not a daily driver so it they wont be abused. i listen to everything from sade to tool to miles davis. they will be in the trunk of a 74 mercedes and the box will be ported if that makes any difference. any help is appreciated thanks!
