Thanks, that's what I've been thinking but I just wanted to confirm that it would work better.
-
I thought that too but I spoke with the owner of Sundownonly.com and he told me that in a sealed box the SD-2's would perform better then the SA's. I was just going off of his assumption. In the sealed box, the subs would be seeing around .75ft^3 after displacement.

I've got an AQ1200d to power my new system. I am going to either use one 10 capable of handling all 1200+ watts or two 10's that will split the power. The single sub would be something like a Fi SSD and the two subs would be Sundown SD-2's. What differences will I see in these two setups? I'd have twice the cone area with the SD's, so does that mean twice the volume?
-
Thanks for that. That'd really suck if that happened!
-
What does the QTS option offer? How does that affect it in a sealed box and how would it make that much of a difference in resale?
-
Does anyone have any experience with a Fi SSD in a sealed box? I've never owned a Fi but know that they're solid. I'd love to get a 10" Q but I dont have room to mount it in my truck. The downfiring box I have has 6.5" from the outside bottom of the box to the inside top. The SSD has a mounting depth of 6", including the thickness of the wood. Is there enough room to make this work? Does the SSD have a pole vent? And if it does is .5" enough space for it to perform well? Box is .95 ft^3. Sub displacement is .12". Fi suggests between .6-1ft^3 for airspace so I'd be right in the middle. Powered by an AQ1200d. Would this work?

That is extremely helpful. Thanks for posting that. I didn't think that ported was an option but damn I may have to do that. Do you have any experience with that box/company? Is it pretty solid. I've always heard to stay away from prefabbed. -

LOL I was hoping you weren't going to say that. -

GAH I hate when this happens, I am horrible at making decisions between two subs. Does anyone have any experience with either of these? I feel like with two 10" drivers in bigger boxes on around 1200 watts they will both be reasonably loud. Is there a way to tell if one or the other will get lower or sound better in the same size box on the same power? -

This is very helpful. Thanks. If the SD 10 wants .5 ft^3, would .75ft^3 be overkill? I'd definitely be willing to sacrifice some SQ for some improved lows. -

The SA 8 is sweet but it actually has a bigger mounting depth than the SA 10 does. If you look at the pictures of it on their website you can actually see that the motor is bigger, I have no idea why. Its too bad though because I have some weird attraction with 8" subwoofers, especially 8s as big as those. I didn't know DC made a Lvl 2 8". I looked into the 10" a little bit and like it alot. Do either of y'all have any experience with it? How would it do in a sealed box you think? -

When you say tune lower you mean in a sealed box? It seems like sealed is my only real option if I want to do 2 subs? Does building a bigger sealed box allow it go get lower? Like if I put two 10" SD's in a box where they saw .75 ft^3 after displacement, would it be lower/louder then if it was in a box that was .5 ft^3 after displacement? -

I've only looked at the displacement for the sundown's but they're only .1, so I still would have a box with more than the minimum space. -

I guess another option I have is to go with one larger sub that can handle around 1200 watts on its on like a Fi SSD. So if you have some options like that, throw them out there too. -
I've got an AQ1200d sitting around from a previous system that I am going to use to power two subs to go under the seat of my 2011 Silverado crew cab. Space is definitely the limiting factor here. The VERY most I can get if I go with two subs is around .8 ft^3 sealed per sub. Max mounting depth I am looking at is 6". I've been looking at sundown for a little bit and am liking the SD series aswell as the SA series. I can get both the 10" and 12" SD to fit, but can only get the 10" SA to fit. I'm hoping to get a system that sounds good and can hit the lows well. Take in to account the only other system I've ever had was an HDC3 15" in a box tuned to 39hz. I was hoping to get something that could at least match that in hitting the lows, is that possible? Throw some other brands/models out there that will work or is sundown the way to go? Thanks guys.
