I went from 4 alpine type R 12"s in a sealed box with a Hifonics 2008d

Now i have a 15" FI BL with a sundown SAZ-1500d in a ported box tuned to 32hz and it kicks alpines ass, no question. From 4 subs to 1 now its louder, clearer, and has more low end.

VERY VERY VERY satisfied!!!

thanks!

My rear view mirror wont stop slappin, and my doors are all flexing not to mention the roof, quarter panels, and hatch.

haha i should have thought about that! this time i might actually get some up, box isn't covered yet tho.

yeah i know... ill get some today when i get home!

Have you actually metered both setups? I switched from four 12's sealed to one 15 ported at 30 hz with the same amp and lost about 2-3 db peak but the ported 15" seemed more obnoxious because the lowend (30-40 hz) was louder. The 12's would peak at about 55 hz but the 15" at about 45 hz.

the only kind of music i really listen to is the low end bass. good solid long bass lines that make your nose tickle and windows flex.

You could lose the rear seat to gain more space.

its covered with herculiner, it soaked up a whole quart, had to touch up some spots with paint from the glue but it came out great im happy with it.

the upgrade from hifonics -> sundown made a huge differance right there, shoulda seen what the four type-r's would do on that saz.

but nice setup either way!

wow, i never thought to try it, i feel like an idiot. it would have been stupid loud.

Did my box in Herculiner as well. I like it other than the smell when applying.
