SSA Demons

whats better 2ohm or 4ohm ?

 

[Clifff150 10+ year member]

Ohm load is dependent on your amp. What amp do you have? Like exactly what model? I’m assuming it’s 1 ohm stable so you’d want D4 subs. If it’s only 2 ohm stable then you’ll want D2

American Bass TNT is another solid option

 

[Firewalker]

Bah you will never see me buy another AB TNT. The glue came apart where the spider sits on the basket on the one subwoofer with very low play time and tbh they are not even really broken in yet. Since I put them in I have played the system with the bass knob at the lowest setting and very little bass hitting music, basically just listening to the speakers in the doors. When I went to reglue it there was NO GLUE residue anywhere, I ended up taking up the rest of the spider as it had done it on half of it and nope no residue on the other half either. Cheap subwoofer and tbh they don't sound all that great. I would go with the SSA Demon all day long over AB cheaper lines.

Agreed on that. I feel it’s always better to spend a little more and get a better product. You getting it warrantied?

 

[Firewalker]

Nope fixed it myself, Audiosavings wanted me to spend 70 bucks in shipping to send it back and they would decide if they would fix it themselves or offer me something else. I went locally to huge balsa wood RC Plan plant and bought the CA Glue and Hardener for 11 bucks. Fixed in 20 minutes. It was still under warranty by a long time, not eating 70 bucks in shipping for them to fix it themselves screw that noise.

Maybe these would work for you. You might need the D4 version though.

What kind of box? The sundown sd4 10 do very well sealed

I would pick up a set of sa10s and toss them into 3cubes at 32hz otherwise

A custom box makes a world if difference on how the sub sound. Especially if you are trying to get low with small subs.

The dude I bought it from said it was a “db drive” box but I can’t find it anywhere online. But it’s ported

Get 2 D4 subs as that’ll get you to 1 ohm. As far as the box, I would personally get one made for whatever subs you get. I’m sure you can sell your current box

Why are these so cheap lmao ?

Those are great woofers for the money. Bought some v2’s from their yard sale and brother in law runs them now and punch above their budget. I built him an aeroported box that is 2 cubes and it sounds good.

Would those good good with my amp ? If so I might get those if you think that’s a good purchase.

Those subs are fine they were just budget oriented. The sa line is the next step up for not much more money.

Regardless of the sub choice a custom box is pretty much the only way you are going to get low.

Just about any prefab box is going to be tuned from the mid 30s to High 40s as far as tuned peak frequency.

A few boxes are tuned as low as 36hz but they typically will be on the smaller size when it comes to available airspace meaning it will be a peak and more power hungry box.

Larger boxes require less power and typically the frequency peak is spread along a wider frequency range with less fall off in either direction. This pertaining to normal vented box designs.

Larger sealed boxes also act in a very similar manner with the benefit of being able to play lower at the cost of power handling.

That said there is a limit to everything and it's a balancing act. That is why I would recommend a good box designer like @Buck he will ask all the questions needed and design a box to fit you and your speakers needs.

Then you just take that design and build it or have it built. Depending on the complexity some boxes are very easy to build with minimal tools

Yeah they will work with your amp.

For $60 more, I’d go with the SSA Demons 100%
