LazyAF Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) So, recently I was given a nice little gift and was told to spend it on whatever makes me happy. Well, bass makes me happy. I've always wanted a Sundown system that literally would just destroy my friend's ears... What I'm expecting to get from this build is a rediculous frequency range that can absolutely murder lows, and of course have decent sound in mids too! I am 19 years old and my most recent setup was 2, 12 inch P3's on 1150~ RMS in some gigantic overly high tuned box and it was, meh. With this build, I would really like for it to be my last build too. Even though I said that about my last one... Anyways! I resorted to this forum in hopes of meeting some new acquaintances who are more than willing to help me out here. With that said ^^ I'm looking for the best bang for my buck. I want the best possible setup in the $1500-$2000 range and I haven't been involved with car audio long enough to really know what to get, but I know I want Sundown. However, I am very open minded and if anyone feels the need to suggest other high quality brands be my guest, but provide facts. What I need: 1-2 subs preferably. Amp. Possibly new wire? I have 4 gauge on like a DB Audio 100 something amp fuse. Wiring Kit. And as for the box, I'm going to go with custom, but I want to know what everyone here would like to suggest before I decide what box to get. btw, I drive a car with a huge trunk so space shouldnt be an issue.

THEKINGsBACK Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 Spend wisely... 2 grand doesn't go very far!! Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick:

LazyAF Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Posted May 4, 2015 Okay, I think I've changed my mind and decided to go for something a little more modest. SCV-1500d X-12 D4 @ 1 ohm This will run me about $850, not including the box and installation. I feel I would be quite pleased with this, or exchange the X-12 for two SA-12's. Any Opinions?

tboorn Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 just 1 D4 X12? you couldnt run that at a 1 ohm load nominal, only 2 ohm or 8 ohm, if you got two of them then you could run 1 ohm nominal. Or just get a single D2 Quote Fidelity Built to Last Team Sound Asleep 24Runner Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/196657-24runner-sleeper-system-lots-of-fi-neo-dd-focal-new-video-w-juicebox-lithium/ 2 x 12" Fi BTL N2 / 2 x 12" Fi BTL N3 2 DD M3b Maxwell 2.7V 3000F Supercapacitors Pioneer DEH-80prs Focal P165 V30 components Rockford Fosgate T-400.4

Or just get a single D2 oops! sorry, you're right! My P3's were both D4 and had them at 1 ohm. I was thinking 1 D4 could also be at 1 ohm, lol Thank you Quote ^Me irl
LazyAF Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Posted May 4, 2015 3 SA-15" = $750 scv-2000 = $640 Leaving mids alone for now, I want Dominance Asserting Bass!! With this selection here ^^ you think 3x SA-15's > 1x Zv4-15 on SCV-2000? Quote ^Me irl

LazyAF Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Posted May 4, 2015 more cone area = more ear-o-meter pressure I'm starting to like the way 3 Sa-15's sounds as it leaves my pie hole... I've never changed my mind so many times in one day. Quote ^Me irl
