2013 dodge charger, 180amp alternator.

setup 1: 2 ported (32hz) SA12s on 1400rms amp @1ohm (700rms each)

setup2: 3 sealed SA12s on 2400rms amp @1.3 ohm (615 rms each)

Will the stock battery and amp be able to handle the 2nd setup? which of these is better for SPL and which for SQ?

Any info will help, thanks.

I am leaning towards 1st setup, just wanted to know if it was worth the 2nd.

Im looking at a Hifonics GLX1400.1D

Are you set on using sa-12's ?

Let me guess SSA Gcons

Great car! Their factory ground wiring is total crap, you will need to do the big 3 for either set up. If you don't care about having a spare tire I would get a 2nd battery for option 2. Unless you know you prefer the characteristics of a sealed enclosure I would definitely recommend option 1 over option 2, less weight and expense and I'm not sure how you'd fit 3 12"s across in the trunk.

Also are you wanting sq or spl?

Im aiming for setup 1, just wanted to know if 2 would be worth it but it looks like thats a no.

I want good SPL but i want SQ at medium volumes at least.

Also im not SET on sa12s, but im not paying more than $200 a sub and i dont want a MASSIVE box, and sa12s dont need that much.

Then make sure you do the big 3 and I would go with a higher output amp to give you some head room.

Each amp listed will be fine, subs rms is not a main factor when deciding on a sub amp. Extra wattage wont be heard.

Ok cool, thanks.

I might throw a tad more money on a Hifionics 1500rms but il see.

Il make sure to do the big 3. Thanks

Nice to have extra in case you want to upgrade.

Even if you upgrade 100-500 watts wont be audible. If your not doubling power or competing its not worth it.
