Good lord. Why are the so underrated? How is that tuned?

Thing is I don't want to use any more trunk space or put in additional batteries, or alternator. I have a 140 amp alternator and a 35 series AGM battery. I'm leaning toward the sundown line, SA-12 or X-12.

Recommended by a buddy, the Skar EVL-12?

I dunno if the back of the JL would clear with the angle on the back of their box.

A few reasons I want to change. The APCL 1500.1 was gifted to me and has more power and is probably more efficient than the old but proud Orion, and I'd like to take advantage of that. I've had the JL forever and it's going to need the surround replaced again soon. TBH I kind of just want...

opinions on the following paired with the apcl 1500.1? I can change the box size but prefer a low tuning. DC audio level 3, sundown sa-12 or x-12, dayton audio HO 12, audiofrog GS12, IDMAX or IDQ. These are just some I found used in the 200-300 dollar range. I don't care if the subs are new...

I'm maybe running 600-700 right now, the audiopipe apcl 1500d is around 1500 at 1% distortion, so maybe 2x power? Don't think that would make much of a difference? I'm running the 12w6v2 pretty close to its limit right now at well under the limit of the amp but I don't think the sub can take...

I dunno, I keep seeing awesome reviews for sub $200 subwoofers and sub $200 amps making thier rated power and then some, so I thought maybe the price/performance gap had closed a bit. For example, what kind of performance difference are we talking between an new NVX 12" and the aforementioned...

Currently: -2013 Infiniti G37x -1x JL audio 12w6v2 dual 4 ohm -2.25ft box ported at 28hz -using about 600-700 watts clean power from good old orion not breaking a sweat. I don't know the exact power it's using but I set the gains no where near distortion from sub or amp) -140 amp stock...

I had the sub in a sealed box before, and it was certainly ok, but a lot of the old threads on this sub that I have read say it really shines in a ported enclosure. Besides, wouldn't I need a bunch more power for something like a 2cuft sealed box? My amp's subsonic filter goes down to 15hz. I...

I've never designed a ported box before and torres is giving me fits. I've looked at some of the free box designs and put the dimensions into torres and they never match, tuning wise, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe one of you experts can whip something up for me. Design and cut...

both the aa and 9v are fresh out of packs i've had for maybe a month

I do get a 4 ohm reading on each coil, 2 ohm wired in parallel. the cone does move manually, I can't see anything visually wrong with the coil or tinsel leads

yeah, niether one is doing anything.

Ok, I have the sub inside now and I tried the AA battery and the cone didn't move. Do I need to try the 9v to see if it will move?
