Well, why would get the D2s? Don't you want to run at 1 ohm to get the most out of the amp? If you're getting 2 D2 coiled subs, you'll have to wire at 2 ohms final load, or.5 ohm. Getting D4 coils would allow you to write at 1 ohm and get the most out if either of those amps. What made you think you needed D2s in the first place?

Good looking enclosure from what I can see on mobile. I'm down to see this build, looks good so far. Any pics of the enclosure being built?

My opinion(not like it fuckin matters), the sub is rated at what it's rated at for a reason. We all know the coils, even though only 2.5", can take a ton of heat and abuse. Double the rated power for 5 months, I say you did a good job. Some may have lasted longer, some shorter. Heres the rub: You can't really shit talk the sub for busting tinsel leads when you ran double the RMS rated power at the sub. You can call Sundown and discuss your dissatisfaction, my bet is they'll say," Well, we rated the 2.5" coiled sub at 600W RMS, AND it will take that all day every day. You chose to run 1200+ Watts to each? You should have bought a Z series".

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to US! SMD Forum is now 7!
CleanSierra replied to meade916's topic in SMD NEWS / ANNOUNCEMENTS
On a side note.....I never had an urge to cut a hole in my truck for a blowthrough before coming to this forum before. So it's a blessing AND it's a curse. More of a blessing though P.S. My truck wrote me a handwritten letter and it said," Thanks a fuckin bunch!" -
E-15 VS. SA-15
CleanSierra replied to cgallmore's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
Little FYI, the Obsidians are slated to be out at the end of this month as well. They are currently asking $120 per 12" sub and are currently a pre order item. They would be Good $240 plus shipping, in my opinion -

Then do the E12s, same power handling and motor as the E15s. My suggestion would also be the 12s in about 4 cubes net tuned anywhere from 32-36 Hz. -

I found this site one night when I was scrolling through Rockford Fosgates archived files and rolled across Chicken's Caddy build. I read the entire thread over quite a few hours. I'm pretty sure I never blinked the whole time and my eyes were sore as FUCK before going to bed. I've only been an active member for a couple of years, but the knowledge I've gained here is priceless. Thanks to all of who have helped and all who may potentially help in the future, whoever you are. This is a great community and I'm very thankful for it. As long as my hands still work, I'll be turning a wench, guiding a saw, brushing on resin, or crimping some wire. Here's to 7 more:) Thank you Steve for such a kickass, chill place. -
Bandpass box for 2 SA 12s
CleanSierra replied to ncochran's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
The thing is, no one can tell you. It's build-specific. Your Scion has different characteristics and Resonant frequency than my Reg cab truck(and so many other vehicles too). What may work flat or peaky in mine, may have a different effect in your car. You really need to build to find out. I'd start at 2:1, and then make adjustments on ratio after you've tested awhile. -

I'm running like 24ish per cube on mine -
Bandpass box for 2 SA 12s
CleanSierra replied to ncochran's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
P.S. I know that the cargo area in that car is hella small so good luck. I'd estimate that at LEAST 7 cubes will be needed before all displacements. 2 sealed, 4 ported, plus driver and port displacements. Probably close to 8 cubes for a 2:1 -
Bandpass box for 2 SA 12s

That is obviously a rough idea where that link takes you. You make PM HIM though to see if he ever built it or if it worked out. OP you have good woodworking skills, so I think you'll be able to build it relatively easy. If it were me, I'd tune it around 48ish to get a good range of response in THAT car. You may be able to go a little lower, but you may sacrifice the higher end and in turn, need one hell of a mid stage to compensate. -

Beeemdub has an old thread asking about a 4th with the same subs. I'd say shoot for 2:1 or 2.5:1 with strong 80-100" of port. When I used the search feature at work tonight, I found that old thread. I'll edit this post and paste the linkey ***Edit- Here you go: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142206-how-much-port-should-this-4th-order-have/ -
