Hey I was looking for some subs that wang, and I came across FI Audio. The SSD seems to suit my needs, but I haven't seen a price. What would 2 of these subs run me about?

12's are $189...but that's the link to the SSD's on their site. they go 10's up to 18's.

Also bare in mind the two options (read up on them here on the forums) can not be bought together....

meaning it's either the copper coil OR the Flatwind coil..

Also the price includes free shipping in the continental US....

Which do you think would be the better of the two options for a daily driver? Copper or Flatwind?....and by any chance would you know of a good amp to pair the 2 of them up with?

as they said..pricing is on the site, and it is direct only, there are no dealers...and it includes shipping in the lower 48

Thank you...but I still wanted to know if I should go with either Flatwind or Copper coils?

Depends on PWOER and the enclosure (sealed or ported)

Don't get me wrong they both can WANG on either or

BUT there is a distinct advantage on the two for each enviromental setting...

PERSONALY, I like my box sealed (since i have a tC space is scarce)

So i opted for the copper coil as it seems to do a bit better in a sealed enviroment than a ported one

Though the flatwind does allow for more power handling thus it could wang a bit louder in a vented/ported enclosure...

Though they both sound good in either enclosure... I doubt much difference could be heard by ear...

For daily (which is what i use mine for) i opted for the copper coils as I love me my lowwww booooom.. since the copper coil helps the low end and a sealed enclosure tends to tune it's resonance higher the copper coils provides a nice balance to the sealed enclosure bringing the response of the sealed enclosure a little lower...

you can read my review (link in the sig)..

Also FYI

Copper coil heightens the low end response of the sub

Flatwind gives it more thermal handling increasing the RMS from 800 to around 1K

Nick explains it more in depth here

As for a good amp

Look into a Sundown SAZ-1500D grab a pair of Dual 1ohm SSD and wire thesub coils in parallel the wire the 2 subs in series for the ohm load (that should give each sub a good true 750rms each tested the sundown did @ 1 ohm nominal = 1510 watts @ 78% efficiency)....

else look for an amp that can give each sub about 700 - 900 watts (up to 1K if you get the flatwind)

can't get copper on the dual 1 ohm only the dual 2 ohm coils. Atleast not 2 weeks ago. It will show up until you try to add it then it will give you the message.

i'll only be giving my SSD 12" with copper coil ~750w rms and it'll be going into a sealed box at nick's recommended 1.1cu ft box. didn't go with the flatwound since at most i'd run 1k watts sometime in the future and the SSD can handle it as others have posted.

fi ftw.

fair enough, keep us updated when you get it in!
