Very true, however I also am having trouble finding a speaker that would appear to fit the bill, several have tweeters and a woofer, but not a sub for the really low lows. What I want/need may just not exist. If it doesn’t do much to add good deep sub bass, then I may as well just stick with my...

So circling back on this. I finally got my quote on this system. Was expecting $1200-1300, but the installer came back with $1060. So that was a nice surprise. Now the problem is that a follow up conversation with my wife on the subject has highlighted that we were not on the same page about...

So I plan to take my truck in to my audio installer soon so we can measure below my backseat to judge how the SS-12 will fit before I order anything. In advance of that real world data, if I end up deciding that the SS-12 is a bit too deep and sticks out further from under the seat than I am...

Very good info, thanks. As for comparing the two subs, the ss-12 has mounting brackets that appear to mean you would bolt it down, whereas the rs-10 has rubber feet. Does rubber feet mean it doesn’t bolt down? Are there Pros and cons to this or am I just misunderstanding?

Since your posts I’ve been reading and watching info on stinger amps, and I’m impressed. I think this is a good way forward given the high praise low cost and positive technical tests I saw. So a couple of follow ups: 1. Earlier in the thread you voted for the s series 12 inch, but you also...

I appreciate the response. The thread has moved around a bit. Initially I started by asking about a good all-in-one powered sub that would go under front seat, but now I am thinking that won’t provide as much impact as I want so now thinking of the shallow mount alpine subs that come in...

Ok so here are a lot of stream of consciousness questions: where do you stand on me having the alpine s2-a60m powering the alpine ss-sb12? Also, what is your stance on amps that have integrated DSPs, or subsonic filters? Keep in mind I don’t really know what they are but some say they are...

Ok i appreciate your input and just know that I my reply was not intended to malign your recommendation or your knowledge, just asking questions to try to learn a little bit and make a good decision. It’s a pretty overwhelming task to say the least, a million different brands and models and...

I clearly have very little knowledge in this arena, but commenting on your truck analogy… the way I think about my question (which may be wrong) but if I have my spare tire on and it is rated at speeds up to 55 mph, I certainly do not want to go 120mph while the spare is on. Also the fact that...

In researching amps, I’m reading that for the alpine s series (ss-sb12) that is rated at 300 watts RMS, that I should not get a monoblock amp that is higher than 300watts rms as it’s too much for the sub and would push it too hard and lead to damage. Do you agree? Also regarding that kicker amp...

FYI, if I go with the S series 12 inch, crutchfield advisor is recommending I use either the kicker 46CXA400.1T as the amp (first choice) or the alpine it’s-200M- (second choice). Your thoughts on this competed to stinger?

I appreciate you taking the time to try to help and write all this out, but I’ll freely admit that I have very little experience/knowledge in this arena and I don’t understand any of this. Way over my head. Thanks though. Whoever does the install for me will have to handle all rhis Thsnks for...

So to your question about Loudness: I am not looking for the loudest option possible within my budget. I do want some added volume but mostly I want a much fuller sound. Since stock systems lack bass this seems to be what I need to add. I have no concept of how much bass is added by the...
