Best bang for the buck brands?


Recommended Posts

Budget? An sq3500+hdc418 will get you pretty fucking loud for way way less then a Rockford T2/2500bdcp.

probably run you around 1250.

Sadly,the 3500.1 is one if the most robust amps I have ever used and one of the cheapest real power amps I have ever bought. I payed less for each of them then I did for each of my saz2500's. Which BTW, ended up on my desk for some capacitor repairs.

*BTW nothing wrong with sundown. They are a good Brand. Just had a bad experience in 2012.

i guess I'll be the first... funky pups...

as far as soundqubed i love there amps. in the last few months i have installed and heard dozens of them. there Lil 1200w for $260 is impressive!

budget subs..ct sounds, American bass, and um.. the sa sundown (depending on country) are great subs.

if your looking for a real budget sub the newer alpine type rs go for $120 on amazon. i know they get some hate. but i had 2 12s in 6cubes @30s on 2 ct 1400.1s strapped @.5ohm

they took the.power fine and were loud! not loud for rs loud for any (mid range)12s.

Shok industries has good stuff too, their amps are a little pricey but their subs look great for the price.

I used to nuthugg mmats everyday. We were an authorized dealer for 7 years with mmats. We dropped them in 2011.

I have nothing but good things to say about the woofers and speakers, they can take a brutal beating and sound good at the same time. Speakers built in germany,woofers&amps built In florida. I used the pro 3 way set front and rear paired with 2 dreadnaught 12's and an mmats 2100.5d

The reason we dropped them is because the amps were so picky about current, ended up with a stack of bad amps because people would use them on stock electrical. Oh and its real pricey. Wouldn't really say budget brand. Prices are like sundown.

I don't feel Sundown is really on the pricey side. You can find much more expensive brands out there.

But if you have a smallish budget, any brand can sound good. Focus on the install, and be sure to get a god box for the subs.

If you want to save money, get the speakers you like, and save on the amplifiers, save on the power.

Just my 2 cts ;-)

black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp

OEM head unit, Amplifiers :  Audison AP 8.9 with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats.

2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a sealed box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area.
