Need a good 12" recommendation
have an amp and box already. Hoping to pick up an awesome 12" that will work well with both.
amp is:
200W x 2 chan. RMS @ 4 Ohm Stereo
300W x 2 chan. RMS @ 2 Ohm Stereo
800W x 1 chan. RMS @ 4 Ohm Mono
Box is:
14"x14"x16" O.D. .75" material = 5.7 cu ft ID? not sure I did the calculation right...
Trying to stay under $100
Here's what I've been looking at so far:
REF-TM12.4 - 12" Tidal Audio Subwoofer Dual 4 Ohm OEM by Image Dynamics
running the 1x800 @4 split
any better suggestions?
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
What amp are you using? 2x300 at 2ohms doesn't equate to 1x800 at 4ohms.
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
And what's your budget for a sub?
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
amp is: MA Audio HK-798
Budget is preferably less than $100... but its somewhat flexible...
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
Realistically your seeing more like 400 RMS x 1 @ 4ohm mono
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
The box you have built is 1.31ft^3 before sub displacement. The Tidal sub you listed will not work well with that amp. You want something that will give you a 4ohm final load, so a SVC4ohm od DVC2ohm sub is what you're after.
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
ahh... I've been out of the game far too long... forgot about that...
they have a DVC 2ohm version also
REF-TM12.2 - 12" Tidal Audio Subwoofer Dual 2 Ohm OEM by Image Dynamics
Is that a good sub tho? enough room in that box? work well with the amp? lots of boom?
Recommended me something nicer if not.
saw this mentioned in another thread... a bit higher in price tho, but svc 4ohm. Dayton RSS315HF-4 12" Reference HF Subwoofer 4 Ohm | Parts-Express.com

Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
that black eye looks nice
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
I'm seeing mixed reviews on the black eye subs (and seller)
the MB quartz looks nice... a bit out of the budget but I may have to cave for it.
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
I'd go with the Mach 5 IXL SL, made for sealed boxes.
Re: Need a good 12" recommendation
anywhere to buy it for less than $170? It looks nice but thats stretching the budget
