DROOPY86 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I have a Soundqubed s1-2250 with another one on the way. So I'm going to have around 5k watts @ 2 ohms strapped. My budget is $600 - $750. I don't know if I should get one sub now that can handle more power, and then get a 2nd in the future. Or if i should go ahead and just get 2 lower rated subs. Would 2 subs be louder than 1 on the same power? I have room for a 5 cu. ft enclosure. I am wanting to be around 30-33hz. I had a bunch of recommendations for 2 Stereo Integrity SQL-12s but haven't seen how they would do with that power and low tuning. They look nice just had never heard of them and wanted some more opinions. Any recommendations would be appreciated. These are some of the subs I've been looking at. Single Subs Sundown Xv.3 12- $620 Sundown Z v5 12- $790 Deaf bonce 3012r - $520 Deaf bonce 3512r - $750 Dual Subs Skar ZVX 12 - $380 ea. Sundown SA v2 - $330 ea. TORO Force 12S - $350 ea. Stereo Integrity SQL-12 - $350 ea. Also could go with 4 Soundqubed HDS 3.2 10s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 So, here's my 2 cents on this. Plan for the future, and it'll save you a ton of money later. If you're planning on buying 2 more amps in the future, I'd go with 1 big 5k sub. To your other question though, 2 subs are usually louder than 1 on the same power, assuming the enclosure are optimal for each scenario. Your enclosure is key, but after that, cone area rules. You could go 1 huge 5k sub, but 2 more amps in the future, and go another big 5k sub..... or if you have the room, 2 2500 watt subs now, another 2 amps in the future, then 2 more 2500 watt subs.

DROOPY86 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks for the reply. 5k is probably the most I'll be putting in this car,(06 Scion XB) I'll more than likely go bigger once I go to a SUV / Truck. So for now I'm going 2 12s, but deciding which ones has been a headache. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Out of that list, off those 2 amps, I'd go Sundown. Though I think 2 of those SoundQubed S1-2250's strapped is still too much for any of those subs to handle, unless you run each separate at 2 ohm. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.
