cvanwey Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hello; 1. About how much power does the SA series take prior to reaching peak output, max excursion? 2. I noticed the SA series weigh a lot more, when compared to other brands of the same catagory (i.e. Digital Designs 2500 series). In this case, does the increased weight yield better results, even though all other soft parts are comparable? 3. I ran a DD2512 years ago and noticed when doubling the power, from 600 to 1200 watts, the output did not increase. I assume because the DD had pretty much reached it's peak performance at 600 watts. Would the Sundown SA series be the same? I'm looking for max output w/ the least amount of trunk weight. I have available 2.5^ft net ported w/ 2K watts available. With a 1K per sub (if doing 2 subs), would the X series get louder? If so, I'm assuming because the SA's are over extended? Or should I do one really beefy 12? Thnx!

Toby Ratcliffe Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Long time without an answer... that sucks. 1. 600W is what is recommended. They will take more, but your output won't get much better. 2. Build quality is typically the difference in weight. Better materials for speaker strength tend to weigh more. 3. yes, you will reach a similar result. 4. I pick my subs based on the amount of space I want to give up, the sound goal I am after, and within the budget I am looking to spend. If you have a set power, and a set space already laid out, figure out the max amount of cone area taking into account rated x-max that fit within those parameters. If I was a betting man I would bet that 2 sa-12s would hit harder than a single x-12 at rated power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
