Posted February 9, 201213 yr will be buying 2 DCON 12's Dual 4 ohm Subwoofers.looking for a amp in the range of 200$ that will power these properly.will be using a dual champer ported box, each chamber is 1.8 c/f and the sub is recomened 1.75c/fBut on the other hand im also very much considering a single 12" ICONwith a ported enclosure matching specs.In reguards to excurrsion and making allot of noise, will i be able to afford a amp to get the single icon to outperform the 2 dcons for spending about 200$ on a amp?I drive a cobalt, subs will be going in trunkThank you very much in advance, for any possible information.
February 9, 201213 yr I would say for the money the two dcons and a amp would be the better choice. For a amp a aq750 for 200 is a good choice.
February 9, 201213 yr Author I would say for the money the two dcons and a amp would be the better choice.for the money, i could also get 2 rockford fosgate p2'sthey have a rms off 500 each, and are a little cheaper then the dcon.http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34856_Rockford-Fosgate-P2D2-12-11P2D212.htmlIve just heard such good stuff about both products, but where i'd be spending the same amouth of money on either i want the most boom for my buck
February 9, 201213 yr Admin We have had a number of customers grab a Sundown SAX-125.2 and paired it up with two Dcon's and loved the results and minimal current draw.

Also made in the USA!exactlyy what i wanted to hear, i kept convincing myself the rfs were better, for no reason becase ive never owned rf or ssa, but in comparison... would the 2 dcons be persay louder then the 2 rfs in the means of rattling your car apart.

February 9, 201213 yr In the optimal enclosures, the DCONS will outperform the P2s. Aaron beat me to it^^

The dcons are the better choice. Edited February 9, 201213 yr by pmureika
February 9, 201213 yr If you can hold up a few days i can tell you how the aq750 is with the dconsIm wiring down to 1ohm. Edited February 9, 201213 yr by nousername

February 9, 201213 yr Author with that being said, what would be the optimal enclosure for what im trying to do?im aware prob ported? but possibly a couple links of enclosures that would do the trick?
February 9, 201213 yr with that being said, what would be the optimal enclosure for what im trying to do?im aware prob ported? but possibly a couple links of enclosures that would do the trick?Check the tech section up top. It has enclosure plans fo FREE.

February 9, 201213 yr Author If you can hold up a few days i can tell you how the aq750 is with the dconsIm wiring down to 1ohm.yes thtd be awesome, im not ordering for about a week anyways, just trying to get everything figured out before the day im gonna order.

Tuning will be based on your taste, but I'd go for 33-34.

February 9, 201213 yr Skip the AQ. Get the Sundown SAX125.2 as Aaron suggested. No need to run more power than suggested.

He says Two D4 12" Dcons.He could order two single 4s.That way he could give 200rms per sub with the sax125.2 or 250rms with the aq750. Edited February 9, 201213 yr by pmureika
