skervyskalywag Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Anything better or just different worth looking into for 12s at the $150 each (give or take a few bucks) price range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 You could look at the Avatar SST-3012D4 https://www.down4soundshop.com/avatar-sst-3012d4-12-subwoofer/ The Machete MF-12R D2 https://www.down4soundshop.com/machete-mf-12r-d2-12-inch-1200w-rms-subwoofer-dual-2-ohm/ The Hannibal HSS-3212 https://www.down4soundshop.com/hannibal-hss-3212-d2-12-subwoofer-1000w-rms/ The Apocalypse DB-SA2612D2 which I really like https://www.down4soundshop.com/apocalypse-db-sa2612d2-d2-ohm/ The Resilient Sounds Gold series I've heard really good things about https://skyhighcaraudio.com/gold-12-1000-rms-woofer/ The FI Xv3 subs are awesome https://ficaraudio.com/product/xv3-series/ Or, for a little bit more, you could get the FI SSD v4, which would be my personal favorite out of the whole list https://ficaraudio.com/product/ssdv4-series/ 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.

The Xv3 is out of stock though and a little over 200. Ive seen most of those other options but for the price and what I found the DDX seemed better overall and cheaper. Am I missing anything about the others that would make them better in SQ or any notable difference? Also considered CT Sounds, AB and I dont know what others Im missing. Still kept ending up back to the DDX due to price/performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wifebtr Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Soundqubed might have options in that price range. I'm running AB subs ( 2 12s ) and I'm happy with them. Dafaseles seems like a great source and I would be looking at the list he suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HDS3 is actually on my radar but out of stock and a little closer to $200 than id like. Im trying to keep myself from buying the DDX before deals start to kick in lol.

Joe X Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 It's less expensive overall to do less subs of greater cone area, not only save by number of subs to buy but also save in amps and specially on electrical, Also I would avoid the $15o stuff at all costs unless you know extremely well what you are getting.

Dafaseles Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 In any case, whichever you decide to go with, you get what you pay for. A lot of time, choosing which company to go with is determined by things like customer service and warranties. Not just how the equipment performs. Just in case, you know? Sundown is expensive, but if you have a problem with any equipment, they're quick to help you out and get you back to slapping. Not saying you should go with Sundown, and I'm not saying inexpensive subs are crap either, I'm just saying there's usually a reason specific subs are cheap, and others aren't so much. My vote is still the SSD v4, but I'm biased because I run FI subs and love them lol. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!
