"Tune higher and use a smaller box for more SPL oriented setup"

Recommended Posts

Build to 30-35 hz and sub specs on box size and be happy. I would almost bet that the guy on amazon was someone who doesnt know anything about enclosures..and who was repeating what a buddies friend with a pre fab fart box told him.

No if you tried to burp at way over the power rating on a box made for music the sub would probably fail from exceeding its mechanical limits.

Do you have a sa-12 or are you trying to buy one?

well like I said in the original post, I was just curious as to why a guy wanted $200 for a 600w rms sub so I was searching some specs on it and was curious as to what amazon had to say.

I think i got mine for 180$. it was worth it. took over 1k all day and clipped lol. Those subs are champs and take alot for the money. If you could find one used not abused..or one needing a recone for cheap they are definitely worth it.

Oh really? Hmm...

Also scratch that. The guy wanted $250 for the sub and box.

How would the sub do on a saz1500d v1 with stock electrical, if I made sure the voltage only dropped passed 14v for a very brief moment while monitoring the voltage closely? Basically I would only be playing it super loud while monitoring the voltage constantly.

IDK i ran mine at 1k and Im pretty sure it was clipping. That box looks liek the ports will whistle with the music lol. Hello port noise.

maybe get a D4 run it at 2ohm on the SAZ1500...thats enough amp for two lol

I would build a box if I got that sub for sure. That box is bordering on DUAL PLEXIGLASS LED 4 PORT COMPETITION BOX WALMART tier bandpass_dual_12_49d04ae5be5c8.jpg

Also thinking of selling the SAZ and using the alpine or the performance teknique amp since I don't want to shell out cash for electrical upgrades.

To run a 1500 on it daily. I'd suggest a slightly smaller than recommended box, constantly watch your voltage, actaully, just don't unless you know you aren't clipping.

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

I'm assuming you already have said amps. Keep the 1500, sell the other two and get a yellow top.

Also, I wouldn't give that guy more than 150 for his used SA.

Especially in a box like that.

Lol this guy thinks the sub is worth $250

I wonder how that works out? Find the lowest price new online and raise it by $50?

Gotta try that some time

Funny cause 2 of these sold for $250 shipped and one for $140 shipped.

Gotta love craigslist eh?

He wanted my alpine mrp-m500 AND my JL 12w3v3-4 and would give me $50 on top...

here is the ad

Feel free to let this guy know what the sub is actually worth. It's been relisted for months at $250.

i redid the ports so it sounds even better now
oh wow...

That sub will do fine on 1500 rms. Just build the box right. I'd do 1.8 cu ft tuned 32-35hz. Just watch the sub if it looks stressed or gets too hot then turn the gain down. Id also set your max with a dd 1 first. See how it handles that then go from there. With stock electrical you probably wont even see that much power.

This guy is delusional thinking he will get $250 for the sub so I'm not getting it.

He's had it up for months.
