Thanks I'll make sure to ask when I have it built. So after considering everything I'm going with 2 12" American Bass TNT subs wired to 1 ohm, Twisted Sounds 1.3k amp, custom box tuned to 32hz based on vehicle electromechanical parameters, overall power input and cabin gain, 140 amp alternator...

Yeah I didn't know that either but I found one that does. They're saying around 200 for the box and they can do the big 3. Looking good lol.

I'm thinking I might have to go prefab and reinforce it somehow haven't found a box builder in El Paso that knows what tuning at 32hz is. I found one that's large enough and tuned to 34hz but Idk. Having trouble finding anyone to help with the big 3 as well. Tackling that next.

Idk really. The system I just burned was the loudest I've had and it was underpowered and badly wired. I'm thinking like 30% increase would be great. So I'm going AB TNT 12" they seem to be a nice compromise between crappy and way too expensive. The cab 1600 looks nice but the TS 1.3k seems...

How reliable are CAB amps? I need a setup that will perform at a volume much higher than what I can possibly listen to on a daily basis, like half volume at most. I was also thinking of going with 2 American Bass XD 1244 and the TS 1.3 at 1ohm which is much less expensive than 2 AB XFL's/TS 1.8...

Where did you find dynos for them?

I like the sound of 2 AB XFL 12" with the TS 1.8k amp. Out of curiosity, can anyone explain why the Cobalt Series of amps are considered crappy?

Thanks for the help guys. So I did a little research into the advice that you've given and I think I understand. So the subs blew from clipping. Clipping resulted from substandard wire, at the incorrect gauge, prefab box at unknown tuning, and an amp with no ss filter to remove the lower notes...

And I like the sound of two 12's vs one. The p3's I love the sound, I just need more spl.

I'm thinking Max $600 if possible. Sounds like I need at least 1k though

I have a cobalt 1500.4 with 4 p1675 3way speakers that perform beautifully. It's the subs that are killing.

So you're saying that P3's aren't that loud and it's better to spend the money on one sub with a higher rms wattage reading?

What's an ss filter? And how does box tuning damage subs?

So get a mono amp, ofc wiring, custom box. 0 gauge from front to rear battery, 0 gauge to amp, 8 gauge to speakers?

I'm buying the Orion CB5000.1D and wiring my next P3D2's to 2ohms. Supposedly that'll put out 1800 rms. I ordered that amp originally but the seller on Amazon bait switched and when I asked a sound shop here they told me it would work but the amp would heat up fast. They actually told me 750...
