montr2229 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I have a vehicle in which i will not be doing any electrical upgrades but am looking for a system with two twelve in speakers which total at the most 1000 watts rms (if you dont think a 2005 buick century could take it please say so) what i want to ask is if anybody knows any quality subs that will suit an audiophile (or at lease someone with a good ear) and gets plenty loud for the power please suggestions only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the bass Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) http://www.stevemead...-special-combo/, that´s a good offer from Skar, there be known as musicaly and loud in there pricerange. Next good offer and in my eyes the better ones http://www.stevemead...-35999-shipped/. But on your side i would do one electrical upgrade http://www.stevemead...big-3-tutorial/, in 0/1 gauge. Big 3 is a barebone for little money. If you choose the boxoffer, think at next on the amp, if you know what your amp put´s out in RMS. Skar can make the box a little bit bigger, that´s the way to control the sub if you underpowering them.

montr2229 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thank you for answering so quickly, i may get the second offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyG2 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I second skar and the big 3. You might be able to get away with a Skar 1500/Sundown 1200/AudioQue 1200 with just the big 3 and maybe a bigger battery too. But to play it safe I'd either get the 1200/1500 and a bigger battery, or just get an 800 watt amp and a slightly larger enclosure. Big 3 is a must though!

sundown-e21 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 its totally up to you but if i were you i wouldn't get type r's. at best buy, they are 250 each.. i say go to amazon and see what you think of a sundown. i got a huge box for mine and am putting 180 watts clamped and tested to it (600w rms sub) and it Pushes soo much air its insane. I put the sub in my back seat and got a hairtrick from 1 12 on 180 watts. these subs sound great and are VERY well made. they just feel so much more solid than any best buy sub ive felt. they run about 160 shipped when i got mine but who knows how much they are now.

Hunters21w Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Sundown, skar, obsidian all great choices. Another sub to look into tho for nearly half the cost would be the crossfire audio c5 12. They're older version was rated for 300w but now they have upgraded soft parts to rate at 500w at close to the same cost (nearly 80 bucks)! If ya need any help let me know.

sundown-e21 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Its a huge ass box tuned to 29 but i forgot to add port displacement so it is ~26hz. I clamped the amp and at 5 ohms it was doing 180 watts because of box rise. Its a sa12 d4ohm wired to 2. I will try my best but i am selling this amp this saturday. It wasn't a real hairtrick but her hair was fluttering and the bottom of her hair was levatating in the window. i have a vid of it in the backseat but no hairtrick. i will see if i can pull it up. I thought the amp was doing 450 watts but according to clamp meter and dmm it did 180. I was like WTF?? EDIT: videos. Edit#2: It gets 180 watts on juice box when it was clamped. I would assume it is somewhere in the 300-350 watt range on lower notes.
