Hey guys, I have 2 sundown sa-12's in a nice prefab box and I was thinking of upgrading to a single 15" or 18" Sundown Zv4 or a NSv3 if I can get my hands on one from my sundown dealer or something. The new single would be in a custom box firing up with a rear port. What are your guys opinions on this switch? I'm going to upgrade my amp as well.

Welcome to my sig :D

In a trunk? If so stay with 2 12s. You could get 2 Zs for arouuund the price of 1 nsv3.. id go 2 zv4 12s.

Or just build a good box for those sa's

It's an SUV so it's open cabin, I heard a single x-12 and it was louder/better sq than my 2 sa's. I don't really want to spend the money for a custom box on the SA's if imma upgrade anyways you know? It would be sick to do 2 zv4's but idk if my funds permit. A single ns3 is 759 for the 15 and my local shop gives me hella deals etc.

The sa's will preform given the right box. Building a quality and tuned box would be cheaper than buying new subs and amp. That being said, if you wanted to just get louder do what killer said and build a box for the vz4 12''s

FRONT STAGE:

- Cadence XA250.2

- XS Power D3400
- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire

Exactly what killer said, there's no way those subs are even CLOSE to their full potential in almost any prefab box.

2001 Civic LX Sedan
Pioneer DEH-7500HD

Big 3 in 1/0 Knu CCA
Rockford P500-4
RF Punch P165-S in doors
RF Punch P165 in rear deck
Front doors deadened with Damplifier

SQ's new HDS208 8" in a T-line whenever it FINALLY COMES OUT I CAN FINALLY AFFORD IT
:dammit:

Bend over and I'll show ya.

how is it 2 days work? half a day at most, i may be an idiot, but im not an idiot.

A box would cost you $50. I would take 2 sa 12s over a single x12 on the same amp every day of the week. a prefab really doesnt let those things do work.

If i went to a Zv4 or a NSv3 I'd still be building a box.
