buying new subs


Recommended Posts

Ok I am wanting some new subs. Its between b-stock sundown 12 or obsidian 12. Both subs are d2 config. I am wanting 2. I'm also buying a saz2500 and a mechman alt.

So basically which would be the best bet. Any help would be appreciated

Why getting two D2 subs? You'll only be able to wire to 8, 2, or .5 ohms. You should be getting D4s, so you can wire to 1 ohm.

D4 Obsidians would be cheaper, as you would have to pay full price for the SA's to get D4s then. You'd probably be just as happy with the Obsidians, but I'm just not sure if they are as rugged as the Sundown SA's are.

Yes, but what is the point of getting a high output alternator for only 1200 watts? If you have the power, you might as well be able to have it on tap. You don't need to give them 2500 watts just because your amp can put out that much power, but it's sure nice to know that you can give them a little more without worrying about clipping them. Just be easy on the gain and you'd be good to go.
