I think you should just do what ddtc just said. Lower your bass boost to less than 1/3 if you really want it and set gain to about 1/2 for temp usage. 75%-100% gain is just asking for trouble. Your subsonic filter should be off or lowest setting if you are using a sealed box, otherwise, set it...

Well, I found an EMINENCE LAB12C from amazon used warehouse for $65 shipped. I figured it seems cheap enough, I'll give it a shot!

Yes, I did try the R in the 2 cube box. In my opinion, it was actually too boomy. Not punchy at all compared to it being in the 1.5 cube box. Don't forget, this is the 2nd gen type r (swr-1242d), which I think had a recommended 1.7 cube ported and 1.3 net. This is why I was curious and asking if...

Im not sure how big my stock alt is. But I can say that I notice a small loss in volume at 2ohms on my bass from my alpine R when my air condition is on. I don't have any dimming of lights, but I can probably guess that it may not be too far from it if my bass drops a little already. So I kinda...

Yes, there is a used wgti but the guy is over an hour away and is posting for $200. Is the American bass xfl an spl sub? I thought I went to their site, but shows that they only sell from authorized dealers and not online. Currently have no info on dealers and no pricing either.

This is my wants: 1 12" ported, not sealed. Power handling up too around 700rms at 2 ohms or 200-400rms at 4ohms based on my current amp(hifonics brz1200.1d) I'd prefer not 1ohm as I feel my electrical is not up to par even with the big3. Currently using alpine type r 12" 2nd gen at 2ohm in...

I don't know anything about these Arc series subwoofers. Does anybody know anything about them or have opinions on them? I don't just want the info that I can just read from their Arcaudo.com webpage. I ask because some guy is selling 2 of the d4 12" for $200, so I wonder if that is a good...

2 subwoofers D4 would yield a 1 ohm final if you run them parallel. That would be best if the amp is the Sundown saz-1000

Ok, thanks for the input. So recommended would be e-12 for sealed then, since I'd like to minimize space without going down to a 10" or smaller. Somehow, I just like 12" and it is a perfect size for my trunk, height wise. I know the sa-12 would be louder for sure, especially ported so I will...

between the sa-12 and e-12, other than more power and probably louder, are the sound between the two similar? I would be using single sub, most likely sealed to spec or close and pushing 400 rms to the e-12 or 700 rms to sa-12 just as a moderate daily driver. I am just debating if it is worth...

Personally, I would get a subwoofer that is around 600 watts or so with stock electrical and not more. Something like the Alpine type R or RF P3 and Sundown Sa-12. Those are just general recommendation. I thought about the SQ hds212 and 312 also before they hiked the prices up, but already had...

I currently have an alpine type R 12 2nd gen. d4 in a 1.5 ft3 net after port @36hz on a hifonics brz1200.1 and I like it. I don't like sealed boxes as much because I like having a little of the boomier sound after the bass hits. So my question is, if I were to switch out to another subwoofer...
