Will that be good enough? And then run the dual 4's at 2?

Id like to run A higer OHM load If I can, but dont mind going lower If I HAVE TO.

MA's are power hungry, used to have one myself.

 

[DeViOuSoNe 10+ year member]

I mean Power isnt really gonig to be a problem...I hope at least, I want to do this setup right, It will be my first REAL set up, And everyone around me Has never hears of any of these brands, haha, They think kicker is the best, Only have one person that thinks Jl audio is GOD...

So basically, I jsut want to shit on them.

Just thought about something, Shit, I gotta deaden the trunk before I put the **** box In there, Or maybe I will make the box, 3 pieces, so I can take it out some how? I know it is going to be a fun build. I will be kerfing MDF for the first time

I go with Sundwon for amp then, if everyone there is mainstream.

I bet more people would know about MA rather than Sundwon. I'll give you the direct link to the forum.

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10634

Or just open up a wtb thread for a saz 1500d used. EVen though they're used they'll be taken care of, for the most part.

****, I wasnt expecting so much Help!

Thanks to everyone, And I will keep this thread updated, Im going to read up on the Sundown, Any other suggestions?

 

[jfsh90 10+ year member]

Heh I like to try and help.

I know it was hard for me to decide what to buy.

I would always bounce back and forth on what I wanted.

I'm decided now ( I hope )

My next set up will be a 18" Audioque HDC3 hooked up to a Sundwon SAZ-1500D

Now my electrical will definately not be that big. I just plan on running a Kinetik 1800 or 2000, but for the 2000 I'd have to make custom mounts, blah!

0 gauge ground/pwr from batt and big 3 in 0 ga.

Plus I need a deck, I'm still waiting for someone on here to reply my pm for his alpine deck.

Then.. I'll need 6x9s because those were jacked along with my deck.

I think the total for everything was around $1300

Ok do the sundown amps put out what they say? Should push 4 15's pretty good than?

 

[skadude016 5,000+ posts]

2 15"s have more cone area than 4 12"s, so 4 15"s will, theoretically, outperform 4 12"s. Plus I think poppin your trunk for friends and have 4 15"s staring back you'll definately get a huge wow factor. I still say he gets 4 Maw 15"s because theyre cheap, but well made. 35 lb sub 500 rms (conservatively set) and can't forget great customer service, and a sexy looking sub.. all for $105 shipped a piece? Can't really pass that up if you're one a budgt.

I lol'ed

Yea, one of the stickies on the forum is SAZ-1500D power testing, something like that.

It put out (I think) 1900 with stock alt, new battery up front and another in back.

I'm sure you'll be pushing 2000w easily with that youre playing with as far as electrical goes.

So, 500 per Maw will sound amazing vented!

 

[ChaseBimmer 10+ year member]

sundown amps are rated conservitively.. they will put out rated power plus some!

 

[jfsh90 10+ year member]

It was a typo mang.

Meant to say (3) 15"s

 

[scplayboy00 10+ year member]

U gonna need an *** of watts to get loud in that thing. I had one the seats didnt fold down it sucked.

 

[DeViOuSoNe 10+ year member]

OK, so Here is what the final is!

4 mach MAW 15 Dual 4's Wired at .5

1 Sundwon Audio SAZ 1500D

Lots OF 0 guage

PG Line driver

Do you think that will get it pretty loud? I plan on cuttin out the Metal frame, And tipping the padding out, Everythnig but the seat, And then Gutting the rear deck and Porting it, Kinda.

I like. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Premier 880's I've heard have awesome sq, and since you're running an amp to a pair of your comps, you can change HP/LPF on them. Read into that deck, it's a little pricey but they have alot of options.

Oh and yes, I think it will get plenty loud.

May I ask what your last set up was?
