Posted March 30, 201114 yr I'm putting 1 12" in a 1.60 cu ft. box precision port tuned to 35hz on an audiopipe 1500.Need help deciding what sub to get.
March 30, 201114 yr Author I know they are about the same I just can't make up my mind.I was messin with kicker until I heard some real subs 4 21" IA Wardens and another 2 18" Zv2 nothing touches them setups I was in shock after hearing them.so my mind is almost made up Sundown or IA.
March 30, 201114 yr They have an edit button for your post BTW. lolBig difference from most Kicker system and 4 Sundown 18"s. haha
March 30, 201114 yr I have heard 4 12" Skars and 4 12" Sundowns in the same box with same power and I personally thought there wasn't much difference. I think the Skar handled the lows a lot better though and that is what I aim for. Depends on the person though. You can't go wrong with either skar or sundown though. Both of which are for more beefy than those Lethal Injections

Thats about as good of a comparison you can get besides buying all 3 and testing lol

March 30, 201114 yr Author I wish I could buy all 3 and do testing that would be sick.Another ? do you think I would be able to break 140dbs with 1 12"?
March 30, 201114 yr I wish I could buy all 3 and do testing that would be sick.Another ? do you think I would be able to break 140dbs with 1 12"?That's all power, box, vehicle dependent.

Build a whole new box for the 12". It's well worth it. The 12" in the 10" box will probably sound like a 10"

March 30, 201114 yr Having dealt with all three of those companies and using one of those subs. I would choose IA over the other two. But your box might be to small for the IA.

March 30, 201114 yr When it says SPL, it's talking about ALOT of power, high tuning, one note wonders. For music, the box has to be much different. I'd do a 2-2.5 cube box with 40-50^2 port. Around 33-36Hz tuning. That's just a rough idea of what "I" would do.

March 31, 201114 yr I'm looking at IA as well.... I wanna go for a 15" possibly.... Getting a crescendo bc2000 for a very good price...don't want to do lower than 2ohm load though...
