In a friendly experienced way ,all i am going to say is the sq750.1+hds252 is a very very good deal for some quality stuff that will last very long. Anything cheaper and your actually "loosing out" unless its some high quality used stuff.

Edit* hds212

So you're suggesting I stick with SoundQubed's Sub and Amp over the Hifonics? I kinda like staying with that but just seeing all my options.

There are many amps you could choose from. pay 40$-60$ more and probably double the power and much more quality/reliability/efficiency , you will get much much more value then that 60amp class a/b. Yes the soundqubed 750 is one of them,per forum rules i cannot directly compare them for you. But feel free to pm me if you like.

However,i am not knocking on anyones budget, if all you need is that 300/400 watt amp then by all means,take it. Be warned though,they do not last. And yes,i was one of them that owned 4 hifonics amps for temporary setups thinking i would get lucky because i have good electrical. Well what do you know,they all went to shit except the hfi1500 that i clamped 600 rms out of. Sad thing is they didnt even blow under load. They will rob a good amount of power from yoyr electrical just to make a little bit of power.

Willing to bet you would have less voltage drop with a quality amp that does 300watts more.

Not sure what amp you're referring to, but all the amps I am looking at are Monoblock Class D's, and all have around 1k rms at 1ohm except the Soundqubed 750.1

Can someone show me the way to a box design for 1 HDS212 and HDS312?? I'm currently searching and haven't found much. Mainly for 2 12's. And I know there is some info on SoundQubed's website, but I don't really understand it to turn it into a box. Thanks ahead of time.

Never used the amp before but http://shop.hifonics.com/p/x14-amplifiers-x1100-1d claims its a high speed class a/b. They call it next gen super d class while using a/b configuration. Not really sure what the hell it is,even more of a reason to shy away.

just take the designs you found for 2x12 and divide all the dimensions by 2. Done deal

My opinion... get the HDS3 and the Q1-1200. Your electrical will take it and you'll enjoy it for much longer than the other setups you mentioned. Don't cheap out. Better to save and wait than to settle and regret it later.

You'll need a battery. Just get the largest AGM battery that will fit under the hood. Good brands: XSPower, Northstar, DieHard Platnum, C&D..... etc.

Do the big 3 and run 0 gauge in your car. It will give you more power by creating a better electrical flow in your car.

I've been doing car audio for many years and I can tell you that the one thing I regret is wasting money on getting a small system, or a temporary system. You'll get bored of it and want more very fast. Just do it right the first time.

And for the box?
