[My Lexus ISF Sound System Diagram]

dude this shit. is soooooo expensive lol

[The SMD Astro Van - (build coming soon)]

Do something like the

psychlone from hell!!! like make it look a huge tunnel if 12's and a mirror on the end!

[SA-12 D2 or D4]

if you are getting two subs get the D4, if you are getting 1, get a D2. Trust me, i made a mistake and i am still regretting it. i got two D2 subs and now i cant run @ 1ohm unless i buy two seperate amps. .5 ohms will risk your equipment and two find a amp that gives out the kind of power you need @ 2 ohms will be expensive.

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

honestly if you have to ask the question then that leads me or us to believe that you don't have the experience to push well past rated power to those subs and expect them to hold up fine, a vast majority of people that run 2500+ watts to a pair of sa 12's don't play too far below tuning or they don't play full tilt for 30min at a time, if you're dead set on a pair of sa-12's then get a pair of dual 4's on a brz1700.1 at 1 ohm and call it a day.

i already have them, they are D2's can't you run 2 D2's at 1 ohm?

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

I ran an AQ220d on two sa's for about a month and they handled the power just fine. Get yourself a better amp then a hifonics. Get an saz1500

yea i have a budget of 300 dollars tho

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

im running 1k each to both of mine daily no problem. even clipped they dont get stinky or hot.

what amp are you running though?

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

If you have a halfway decent box, I dont see 2400 watts being an issue to a pair of sa 12s. Ive been running a Sundown 4500 on the my pair of SA-12s since october, and they finally threw in the towel 2 nights ago.. thats not bad considering how much power I was pushing to them. Who knows how well my 4th order was for them, Ive chaged the box up a few times and each time it did get better in output and quality.

Also a box for a pair of SA-8s version 1s I built, and had a hifonics 2400 pushing the pair and the amp was wired @ .5ohms, clamping a solid 2,000 watts rms. Sups are still working fine to this date.

So the BRZ shouldn't be an issue? nice! each sub would be getting 1200 each right?

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

I ran double rms power to my skar VVX 12's before I got my ZVX's and they took it pretty good but sure didn't like it..... Also I didn't rail on it for more then 30 sec.... The one time I tried to stress test them I played decaf 10+ minutes with zero brakes and I got them a tad stinky, but aft they cooled off were just as good as normal......

The good thing about giving them more power then they are rated for is they loosen up a lot quicker lol. My VVX 12's took about 6 hours play time to really get nasty lows.... Took almost a week with my ZVX's lol

then what amp would you recommend for 2 SA-12's? my budget is 300 and under. Maybe a amp for each sub? idk, help me out

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

dont do it, if and when all goes bad you'll be out of subs wishing you hadn't done it at all, if you weremore experienced then i would say go for it. theres a rating on them for a reason, its so the average person knows when to stop, just becuase one person does it doesnt mean the next person should.

So what if i got 2 MB Quart ONX1. 1000D (475 @ 4Ohms, 1 x 750 @ 2 ohms, 1 x 1000 @ 1 Ohms) and had them at 1 ohm for each sub? would that be better?

http://www.soundqubed.com/Q1-1200D-Amplifier_p_30.html < problem solved

But if i got one of those, wouldnt it only be giving 600 to each sub @ 1 ohm?

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

if you run them @ 2ohms then shouldn't the output be ~1200wrms though?

No? if i ran it at 2 ohms it would 850 to each sub right? cuz its 1700 at 2 Ohms

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

I ran 1500 to mine. Clamped. They were fine for a few weeks then started to tear them selves apart, surrounds tearing spider joints half ripping... Anddd coils breaking in half.

Coils still looked like new when the coils were breaking tho

Seriously? so maybe i should stick around 1000 RMS each huh.

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

no..

why do you answer like that? its almost tripling the RMS power @ 2 ohms

Because I have personally ran one on two sa-12s and know many others who have...you forget that you will not get close to the full 2400 watts on that amp after box rise and all....

you have pushd 2400 watts to a SA-12...

ok are you talking about 1 or 2? you said "I have 2 SA-12 D2's"

i just want a simple answer, is this too much to ask?

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

okay, well my question has not been answered yet...will that amplifier overpower them?

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

I love these,"can I over power my subs" threads. Why do you find it necessary to drive double the RMS power to a sub. You can NOTHING. It is not going to do anything magical when you throw double the RMS to them. What it has a GOOD likelihood of doing is sending a lot of extra heat. Granted that they are well built and can take tons of power, but why are so people so interested in this? It's it just so you can brag and say,"yeah I am running 1200 watts to each of my SA12's and they're taking it like champs"? Also, youre but very likely with efficiency and impedance rise to see the full 2400 watts anyway. Do you really want to be that customer that has the story,"I was told I could run 1200 watts to a sub rated for 600 watts and it blew, I have no idea why"? Please keep it simple and buy an amp that does 1200-1500 and call it a day.

I come here because im not as experienced as you, and you are tired of seeing the threads? Don't answer them then. smh

You will cook 'em.

i was told they would handle them no problem! D:

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

Not in the right box. My sa's almost took my saz3500 musically

See , i have a budget tho

[Will this overdue my 2 SA-12's?]

I have 2 SA-12 D2's and I was told Sundown subs can handle way over their RMS power, i hear they can run 1000RMS all day. Would a Hifonics brutus BRZ2400.1D Overpower them?

[Is something wrong with my SA-12? (Video Link)]

In the video all I can hear is the tone and air movement from the venting.

you didnt hear anything weird? ...

[Is something wrong with my SA-12? (Video Link)]

Um, i really dont know if this is a normal noise coming from my SA-12

i was told to see if i could still hear it when i took it out of the box, so i did, and i needed some other opinions so i made a video on it.

I really need some help guys

thanks so much

[Best Amp for 2 SA-12 D2's???]

these all look like nice amps, but i have a budget, like the t1500 looks great, but its 800 dollars haha. I will spend up too 400 at the moment :/

[Best Amp for 2 SA-12 D2's???]

I do have a budget tho, i dont mind spending round 300 dollars, but i will not be paying 700 dollars for an amp at the moment xD

[Best Amp for 2 SA-12 D2's???]

I was wondering what amp would be best for 2 SA-12 D2's
