Posted April 12, 201015 yr Been working with Thumper on building a box for my 2001 s-10 xcab. After many measurements and alot of emails, it looks like I'm going with 3 12" xcons in my truck. My questions are on the xcons should I get the 1ohm or 2ohm subs. And my plan is to use Sundown amps so which would be better the saz3500d or the saz4500d. I work in law enforcement and do alot of police /saftey fair shows plus other shows and comps. This will be a daily driver but I will compete with it so thats why I ask the question about what ohm I should buy.
April 12, 201015 yr You minus well put them on the SAZ-4500D and they will still have some reserve thermal handling left in them. 3 D1's will yield you 1.5 ohm load3 D2's will yield you a 1.34 ohm loadIt really wont make a difference but I would go with 3 D2's.

April 12, 201015 yr I bet that 4500 is going to need double the electrical the 3500 will. Something to think about. If you got D1 coils you could wire to .67. That amp can take it, but again you will need one hell of an electrical set up to back it up.Couple of questions1. why 3 12's and not 2 15's?2. Will you write yourself a ticket each time you crank it up? lol

Will you write yourself a ticket each time you crank it up? lolMy current electrical system is custom external regulated 200amp alt I have a yellow top under the hood and a kinetik 2400 in the cab. Big 3 done in 1/0 but. I will add more wire and a bigger alt if needed no big deal. Thumper says that theres really not enough room for 15's. He just built a box for 2 15 xcons for a excab dakota. He gave me the measurments of that box, it would fit but driving around would be uncomfortable since I'm 6'4" tall. Me crank it up never I'm a good person I follow all laws.
April 12, 201015 yr I would get the d1 coils and wire to 1.5 then you can get a bigger alt and couple more bats and rewire to .67.Hell you could even wire to 1.5 for daily and change to .67 for comps so there is less wear and tear on your shit. Prolly wont tho, I know I wouldnt. lolNice choice on the xcons !Ha Ha. Yeah, couple of my buddy's are State Troopers so I hear ya.

Yeah, couple of my buddy's are State Troopers so I hear ya.Yeah I'll just wire it 1.5 and I'm thinking about upgrading to a dc power alt. After seeing so many vids of xcons compared to what I have currently (JL 12w6's) I knew it was a time for a big change.Ok well another few questions. Is there another amp or amps ie strapped that you would go with. Also the usaci classes have changed alittle since the last time I competed. I use to compete in the 0-300 stock class and 0-500 stock class. Wtih these subs I know I'm def not going to be in the stock class anymore. Also does usaci still class an amp off what it puts out at 4ohms stereo or max output.saz4500d = 900 @ 4ohms
