tommy Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 So i just bought my new saz-3000d from chris at db-r wahoo!!! And i was just wondering on which setup you guys think is gonna be louder. My new setup: saz-3000d 1 "12 fi btl fully loaded or old setup: mtx 81000d @ 1ohm (1500rms) 2 "12 re audio sr's Im a newb at stereos, but I know that the more subwoofers you have, the more air you move right? So is one powerful subwoofer, louder than 2 mediocre subwoofers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT.Smoke Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am pretty sure that you will be thoroughly impressed with the setup.Fi makes a great sub and the sundown 3000 amp is a beefy monster of an amp. I would feel comfortable in saying that you will be louder because you are working with much better equipment.You will be loud and sound good doing it as long as you have a nice install good wiring and a good box Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiTownTBird312 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 depends on the install(box, location, car type) and electrical... and i woulnt say re subs are mediocre either...

tommy Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 thats good to hear. I have a high amp alternator on the way, along with a 2400 kinetic in the trunk. I didnt mean to say re is mediocre, but just the model sub i had. They wernt anywear near the top of the line ones. As for the box, its a ported, 2.8 cuft, tuned at 33hz.

HHR Ed Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 depends greatly on box design and exact power. The MTX81000D can easily pump out 1500w. so on 2) 12s it will make a certain SPL and displace a certain amount of air. The Sundown 3000 can easily do 3000w. so it theoretically can make 1 12" displace the same air as 2 12" with less power and make the same SPL. So if there is any difference it will probably be minimal unless you have a much better enclosure.

tommy Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 actual port was 3.0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 actual port was 3.0" port looks too long to me, I follow the 18" rule.

tommy Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 just measured the port and it is 14.5in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 just measured the port and it is 14.5in The length looks to be about 25" from the drawing. In my experience there is no change in tuning from 18" long and up. There is a dip in efficiency though because of the impedance of the air in the port. So in the theory of the 18" rule your port should be 3" x 14.5" x 18" and you will have the same tuning as in your drawing but it will be louder.
