Advice on a sub choice


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, hope all is well.

Now this is for a small project just for laughs, not daily nor competition. Now, i got myself a single 12" slot port sub box,its 2.25 net tuned to 50hz with a pretty big port and i got a 1000rms mono. 

I know i can't expect magic from that but my goal is to get stupid loud on music in that hz range with the power i got. Any BUDGET sub recommendations around 600-700rms that could make this happen? Was looking into american bass,massive audio ect,i heard they do well on the high tones

Can't go wrong with American bass, had an xfl12 I force fed 2k for over a year in similar box and was impressive, xfl is like $200ish, the eliteis supposed to be very similar to the xfl but half the price. Now I see they have a titan and hawk series and spec wise they look pretty decent. I've also had a few soundwubed hds2 series that were good price to performance too.

All done by me. stereo is Pioneer avh 600ex, all stinger rca, jp23 v1.5, skar rp150.4, and hertz hpd4. 2 SHCA 6.5 8ohm, 1 SHCA 3.5", and 1 DS18 tw120pro in each door. The 3.5 mid and 3.5" tweeters are powered by the skar rp150.4, the 6.5s are powered by the hertz bridged @4 ohms. Dual runs   of 3/0 welding cable, 300a alternator, 2 Vmax AGMs up front. current sub is a AB XR 12 ( dual 2 ohm) with bottom spider cut out in 2.25 cubes at 32hz

Have experience with the xd also, had 1k to a pair of em in a prefab box, they were ok, probably would have been alot louder in a custom built box.

Nothing wrong with your sub choices but I'm curious why tuning is so high? It would much more musical around 32-36hz

Well, to be honest,its not for a daily nor musical set up. More just a "as loud as i can get on that power"

Have you looked at DC AUDIO? Lvl 2 are 600rms, lvl 3 is 900 rms. On their website they offer some back stock, actually bought a lvl 4 for a 3 price

Does dc work well on high tones? The box is tuned to 50hz. Aiming for a loud bass not lows
