[QUOTE="Magnum099, post: 8197259, member: 654982"] I am looking to get a new subwoofer for my daily driver, and I am leaning towards getting one SA-12. I have a couple of questions though, mainly for people who have experience with the Sundowns. 1) Ported or Sealed? I know ported is generally the choice for the Sundowns, but I was just curious if anyone had any experience with them sealed. I like the bass punchy and tight, but I also want it loud. 2) What amplifier? My budget for an amp is $200 or less preferably. I don't want to go over 700 watts though. I was looking at the Alpine MRP-M500, Pioneer GM-D8601, and the Rockford Fosgate R500X1D. All of these put at 500 watts rms at 2 ohms though, and I wasn't sure if that would be enough since the sub is rated at 600 watts rms. 3) Would it overpower my mids and highs? I have Rockford Fosgate Prime speakers with an Alpine 4 channel amp pushing 40 watts rms per channel right now. Would I need to consider an upgrade, or would it matter? Any input is appreciated. I am open to other suggestions for subs though, as long as they are around 400-600 watts rms. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
