Upgrade to a Sundown X??

[FeelDaBass]

Hi, I'm not trying to start a VS thread, but I was wondering what kind of input I would get from this. I currently have a T1D215 on a T1500-1bdCP @ 4 ohms and it is nice for what it is. I hit a 137.4 with backseat in (non fold-able) and sealed off from the trunk. I'm wondering if an SA X 15 or 18 would be beneficial for the price difference and extra work involving a box and everything.

I would be purchasing one around tax return season and have a buddy that wants to buy my sub. If I did get an X, would I want to run it at 1 or 2 ohms on my amp? I have stock electrical (130 amp alt) and one Optima YT under the hood (which might be dying at the moment). My electrical has been able to keep up at 4 ohms anyway. Also running a T600-4.

Would an X do anything different though? I have a huge trunk in my '98 Chrysler Concorde and I like SQL. Definitely like the low lows but I don't want to sacrifice my upper bass frequencies. And this is for Daily. I like competing, but daily driver is more important.




I have seen quite a few for sale used so I don't know what this means exactly...if it's more of a peaky non SQ sub or what. I'm looking for a fairly flat response.

Any input is appreciated.

The X is not designed as an SQ sub. And I don't know that I would run it in a sealed off trunk.

So it's strictly SPL for low frequencies then? Damn.. Sounds tempting but idk.

just cause its not a sq woofer doesnt mean its a straight up spl sub lol its made for low lows, builds like kevosinn or a ported box tuned in the high 20s or low 30s. I had an x 18 and wasnt upset with it but wasnt real crazy about it. Had a ported box tuned to 35 and didnt have a good bandwidth. Wasnt even running a ton of port, probably not even enough haha likely was just my box design though.
