Posted July 12, 201114 yr Okay so I am building a budget system.... I have chosen to purchase one SA 12 sub. I need some advice on...1. Purchasing a 2ohm or 4ohm sub?2. What size box should I have my shop build for me? (I am looking for good quality sound that is pretty loud for a daily driver, Listen to mostly hip hop)3. Will a Arc FD600.1 amp be enough to power this sub adequately? Thanks a lot for your help!
July 12, 201114 yr 1. Dual 4ohm config2. according to this pic here: I'd go with a ported enclosure tuned anywhere from 32-25hz .... 2 cubes is what they require3. Yes, running the D4 SA-12 will yield "600w" from that amplifier if wired to 2ohms ....You're welcome!!!
July 12, 201114 yr Good answer Shogen. If you listen to mostly hip hop I would personally tune to 32+ unless your listeing to a lot of slowed music
July 12, 201114 yr i think my box is tuned to 34ish and slowed music will play and sounds ok, but just cant get those low low notes.
July 12, 201114 yr I went with 30 hz and loved it you should try it I can bang slowed music all day long!

EDIT: wow I meant 32-35hz .... goodness late night typing isn't always a good idea for me.... and like it has been stated, lower tuning if you're doing slowed/bass enhanced music pieces...
