    If anyone has had these subs. What do you think is the best frequency is?

    And what size box should I be looking at.

    thanks

    Wait are you the person who plays CS? Sorry for going off topic, just wondering. Cause I play 1.6.. and I was just wondering

    I do, but I play CSS. I haven't play 1.6 in years

    Awww. You play ESEA? My friend plays CSS. He's 15 and he's a in Cevo Main . Hahahaha

    yes, i used to play main, open and all that shit too, but I have no been playing a while. I dont even know if i have membership still =/

    Yeah. My membership died too. ESEA isn't worth it anymore unless you're actually in love with CS. Now.. Cs is dead. At least 1.6. Hahaha

    Anything from Sundown are great products. But that's only from what I heard. I'm about to order 2 SA-12's.. And people tell me there great. So, MY GUESS to your question would be yes, they will SLAP hard. But then again, you need to think about your electrical, box, etc. So... The subs will slap but you need to also follow through on your part by building a badass box :)

    4Loko's... aka Blackout in a can are very ..... nasty drinks. Hahaha. It's just a bunch of sugars and caffeine mixed in with 12-13% of alcohol. If you want one that doesn't taste like shit super bad, lemonade I heard is good. Also, I've drank watermelon, taste alright. Can't drink it again though because I've had bad trips off of them due to the sugar and headaches. :/

    if you concerned about the money you could wait a little while and buy the crecendo 2000d its like 100 bucks cheaper and will do rated power.

    but the 1200 will slam those SA's im actually slowly putting my system together and have been for over a year. if you buy that amp youll have some extra money to spend on an extra batt and wire

    Yeah, that's what I'm most likely going to do. But the thing is, The SA's prob cant hang with 1 AQ1200 on each.. huh? haha would I have to get some DC's for that?

    Ryan ive told you this multiple times before. you wont need to do bigger electrical upgrades if you set your gains (for the 2200 for example) for a lower power. just pick what you want for the money that you have. if you're not going to upgrade for lets say a year or two, then, in my opinion, there is no point in buying a bigger amplifier if you're going to be utilizing the same amount of power as the lower power amplifier.

    Agreed. the 1200 will slam those puppies perfect. You will be happy. I promise. :drinks:

    BUT

    There isn't a point in buying an amp with a whole lot of power you won't be utilizing to the full potential. Especially if there is a long time before you can upgrade.

    True. If anything, if I do find a job in the time, I'll just buy another 1200D. :D Thanks guys.

    KRANNY. I was freaking hoping for you to be on chat but you weren't on whenever I was on so I got tired and made a post. LOL. Yeah, I mean.. I doubt Im going to get an alt / batteries in a year or 2. So might as well just get the AQ1200D. Or even just keep the bigger alt for the fuck of it. Idk, we'll see.

    If any mod reads this, you can delete the post. Thanks :)

    In my opinion it'd be better to go with the aq2200 first, unless you plan on just buying another 1200 later. (Personally I like to buy things once.)

    Your friend has more cone area, and if said power is true then possibly. BUT it all depends on the install, such as; how his enclosure is designed, electrical, etc etc.

    I would love to go with the AQ2200D too, but my money is in the way. :( And his electrical is stock. His box is to small since it fits in an accord and there's still plenty of room in the trunk. And well... Pretty much it sounds like hes running like 1000 watts. He said something about his amp being a hifonics 2000.. I don't know the EXACT name / model but you get what I mean.

    If you run the AQ2200 you will almost certainly need an alt and a better batt or extra batt. You can probably run the 1200 with stock charging system and big 3 just fine. The question is, will you be happy with the 1200? What happens when you get the extra money and want more sound? You are with an amp you no longer want and want moar power. I would hold off, get the amp, but don't install it. Save up for an alt, and possibly a batt and then do it all at once. These things take time. If you don't do it right the first time, you will find yourself doing it all over again....

    Then again, that is what car audio is about in a way. Learning and trial and error. You do what you want to do, what you think is right, because you are the one with the money and the idea. Build it your way. I am just telling you how I would do it. I have been waiting almost 8 months to start my build in my truck, and I only have about 2 weeks to go and it is KILLING ME. So I feel your pain.

    I know exactly what you mean. Of course, I will need a new alt / batteries if I get an AQ2200D, but the question is, even if I wanted more power, could the SA-12's hold 2200watts? I know there underrated, but are they THAT underrated? I'm just saying because right now, I'm 16 and no job, meaning all my money comes from savings. I have money in the bank, but that's for college. So all I have right now is about 800-900$. That gives me enough money for the Subs, AQ2200D, HU, and wiring. It won't give me enough money for an alt / battery, which is an extra 500$ for good quality equipment. The only reason why I might be leaning towards the AQ1200D is because this is my first build, and I have no idea how to set gains, wire, do any of that. So I don't want to mess anything up. You know? If I just get the AQ1200D, I don't have to worry about setting gains, killing my batt, etc. You know?

    So I feel like a total failure posting so many posts about the same topic, but I'm still confused. People want me to get the AQ2200D for future builds, since I wont have any upgraded electrical besides Big III. So I was wondering, is it safer to just get the AQ1200D? I was going to get the AQ2200D just because the more wattage and I could just set the gains on it for 1500, but then I realized I doubt I'm going to upgrade my system until I get a job, which wont be for long, so should I just go with the AQ1200D? I mean, the 1200D should run 2 Sundown Audio SA-12's Dual 4 Just fine, right? Everything stock besides Big III electrical wise. Please let me know. Thank you.

    And I have another quick question, my friend has 2 15" Kicker CVR claiming 2k watts, but I doubt it really is. Would my Sundowns / AQ sound better then his kickers? Please let me know. Thank you.

  17. Lous system for a begginer?

    I have been thinking, but im not going to be having this vehicle for all that long thats what im worried about, also it has alot of miles on it!

    If they had universal

    If they had universal H/O alts i would definatly get one, but at the moment all i can find is ones for my model

    If you're not going to have it for long, why have an expensive sound system in it if its not going to be there for long?

    Honestly its not hard at all to wire up a system as long as you have a brain. lol. The hardest thing to do is find a hole that is big enough in your firewall or a location to drill through the firewall to run your power and grounds through.

    For wiring a headunit its just a matter of matching up like colors really.

    For wiring up the amp just pay attention to connecting positive to positive and negative and negative and make sure your impedance is set right. If you tell me what impedance your speakers are going to be then i can easily help you out with getting your speakers wires up correctly.

    A good installer tip i have for you though is when you do the big 3 ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS grind the paint off your ground points. I prefer to use something like a Dremel tool or anything with a sanding disc that can rotate very fast for you. You want to have ground points that are like a mirror finish to them because paint does not really conduct electricity like bare metal does.

    Another good thing i would highly recommend as it will be your best friend, get yourself a multimeter or an o-scope preferably. This will help you out more than you can imagine because you can check out the resistance of your power and ground wires to make sure you get as much power as possible and check your voltage, plus your resistance of your speakers.

    This helped me out a lot. I'll make sure to take every one of these tips into thought, and use it to help me wire my system. Thank you.

    Hey guys. Currently, I have 0 audio equipment and no car. My brother is using my car right now, so I have to wait until I can put my system in the car. I have the money and idea of what I'm going to get, I just need my car. But since having no car, that isn't stopping me from learning as much as I can before I install my set-up. I am going to buy 2 Sundown Audio SA-12's Dual 4 Running off an AQ2200D. Since my only electrical at first is going to be big 3, I'm going to set the gains on the AQ to 1200-1400 so my car doesn't explode on the freeway. I am also going to use a 0 guage amp power kit (http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-PK0) to wire it all up. I was wondering, how hard is it to wire up your subs + amp. All I know is something about groundwire, etc. I'm only 16, so be easy <_< .

    If anyone can give me any links, tips, suggestions, etc on how to wire up my subs, amp, HU, speakers, etc. That would be great. Thank you.
