deciding on a good spl subwoofer


Recommended Posts

hey guys, im at a standstill trying to find the right subwoofer for me. i just ordered my pioneer premier spl amp(the smaller one, not the monster) that pushes 1200rms at 1ohm. i am looking for a 15" subwoofer thats from 1000 to 1500 rms. i really want to hit the lows and loud. i was originally looking at the rf t2's but then found out they are more for sq not spl. but that sub is still an option as i wouldnt mind some good sound quality. i like re audio, but the subwoofers that i would want, the MT's, they don't have any specs on it on there website. does any1 have specs for that sub? i was also looking at dc subwoofers. the level 5 is too much rms for me. so i was thinking of level 4 XL. but i have no idea where to even get those subwoofers or how much they cost. if i could get some experienced answers and not just some word of mouth posts that would be much appreaciated!!!! thanks guys

Sundown Audio Nightshade 15 is a perfect sub for you. I do a 152.6 on the dash with one of them in my car off of 2 Sundown saz2000d's so you can see that they are definately no joke. Talk to Jacob Fuller the owner of Sundown at [email protected] He prefers email and will get back to you very quickly. There are several Team Sundown members on this site that run the Nightshades and do very well with them. I suggest you check into them FIRST!
