Posted October 29, 200915 yr Alright so ive decided to take out the 15" q's entirely, and put my back seat back in and get 2 12" subs which will be ported max space is 4.0 cubes, amp is 1200 watts rms at 4 ohm's , 1500 watts at 2 ohms, and its not rated at 1 ohm but i have ran it at one ohm for a couple months on and off with no problems, I have a opima yellowtop up front, and am about to put a kinetik in the trunk,Anyway subs need to be loud but not all out spl and under 350 a piece suggestions??? I want i dont want a one note wonder
October 29, 200915 yr So many choices! If I were you, I would go to the SSA store and look at all the options available!SSA - IconSundown - SA-12Incriminator - Lethal InjectionMach 5 - IXL
October 29, 200915 yr Author yea the box is most likely gonna be around 3.5 cubes @ 33hz keep that in mind
October 29, 200915 yr Admin I would love it if you bought the Icon's, but have you considered going sealed with your current drivers? The Fi Q's do very well in sealed enclosures.
October 29, 200915 yr yea the box is most likely gonna be around 3.5 cubes @ 33hz keep that in mindCan be smaller, with a slot port boxMaybe you can try a sealed box?Or only one 12" Xcon, you already have the power and well enough space. (that would leave you some money to buy...what you want!!!)
October 30, 200915 yr Author scratch that 3.5 cubes at 39hz, sub needs to be optimum in 1.75 cubes ported
October 30, 200915 yr Sundown SA-12, matches nicely for your power and sundowns do pretty well in smaller enclosures. 39 hz is on the high side of tuning though, I thought this was a daily streat-beater?
October 30, 200915 yr oh, another good idea would be to do a single 15 ported. you do already have Q's, and especially if you have the BP power option, a single Q 15 should handle that 1500 watts all day long.
October 30, 200915 yr Author to reply to the last guy, i had a half wall no ive decided to put my backseat back, after hearing one of my friends setups with a saz 3000d, two bat caps, 2 audioque 12's tuned to 52hz ive decided that maybe higher tuning might be nice

That's really high.BTW I have a Brand New AudioQue HDC3 12" for sale.
October 30, 200915 yr He's missing out on a lot of music with a tune that high. Some people have their subwoofer's low pass filter at 60-65 hz. That would give you 10 hz of usable range. Basically worthless IMO.

Basically worthless IMO.Exactly what I was thinking. Tuning that high would sound like . The REAL Bass notes are probably not even audible at that point. It's like using mid's for the highs.

October 30, 200915 yr Author I'm not totally sure but i think he has his highpass set way below 52hz and since his sub's can handle a insane amount of power they just handle it below the tuning freq but i could be wrongAnyway I know everyone doesn't like doing the this vs that but , how does the sundown sa12 sound compared to the mach 5 ixl 12 ported version? which handles more power? and what coil config's are they available in because i will be ordering later todaycan a pair of either one of them handle a SAZ 3000D daily? if not what about a audioque 2200?

October 30, 200915 yr if you do the box right it is most likely gonna be around 3.5 cubes at 35hz ..... it will
October 30, 200915 yr Author if you do the box right it is most likely gonna be around 3.5 cubes at 35hz ..... it will the sundown sa12? or the mach 5's? im talking daily to
October 30, 200915 yr 2 12" xcons will handle 3k watts daily with ease.I will love to do that in my car!!!It would be insane!!!!!!
October 30, 200915 yr Author xcons are way outta my price range, I'm pretty much looking at mach 5 ixl 12 ported version vs sundown sa12, from someones experiance which has the higher spl 2.83v 1m?, sounds better, and what handles more power?

November 3, 200915 yr Author well ive decided to get 3 mach 5 ixl 10s but for some reason i cant get the order form to work, and i was wondering what would the wiring options be with 2 amps and 3 dual 1 ohm, or 3 dual 2 ohm like 1 amp wiried to 3 coils and the other amp wiried to 3 coils?

Series wire each sub's voice coils then parallel wire the subs together to maintain a stable load for a 1 ohm amp.
November 5, 200915 yr Author alright well i finally place my order for 3 FI SSD's 10s w/ flatwind option, will be powered by a jbl gto14001 wired at 3 ohms pushing somewhere around 1300 rms. Will 3 ssd's handle a audioque 2200 in a ported box something like 3 cubes after displacement?
