I have a 07 silverado crew cab and Im going to go with 1 12" downfire ported box.

How do I know the size of the port Ill need?

Also the amp I just bought is an sundown 1200d V2

Should I get a SSD with all the options or a BL with no options?

Money is an issue, so if I will be fine with the SSD please let me know, keep in mind I would get all upgrades with the SSD

I would say get a SSD dual 1 ohm so you can wire it in series to 2 ohms or get a BL dual 2 ohm so you can wire it in parallel to 1 ohm.

If money is an issue than get what you can, why are you asking us (get all options for either subwoofer). You should 12-16in^2 per cubic foot of internal volume in the enclosure.

sorry Im not familiar with the port specs you gave me. Youre saying 12-16" and to have a port for every cubic foot?

Also I have the 1200d coming so doesnt thata give me most power at 1ohm? Id need dual 2ohms to wire into 1ohm right? dual 1ohms cant be wired to 1ohm?

your not going to put a ssd on 1200watts if you plan on keeping it, so if you get a SSD get it in dual 1 ohms and if you get a BL then get it in dual 2 ohms

i'd say just go with a bl or a q. your amp willl probably put out 1500 watts so you can run either of those at 1 ohm. the ssd could probably take 1500 but if you run it at 2 ohms it will probably give it around the rms power handling of the ssd.

and to make the 12-16" of port more clear, you need 12-16" of port per cubic foot. if your box is 3 cubes then you need 36-48" sq inches of port

i hope this all makes sense its like 4 am and im tireddd

just pre ordered the sundown 1200d v.2 so i emailed fi with the same question. nick at fi recommended a fully loaded bl if you plan on running it at 1 ohm/1200 watts

Just to clarify, he means 12-16" square port opening area.

If money's tight, the the SSD is all-right.

Just said that to ryhme... The SSD is a great sub, and will take care of you just fine.
