well if the mono amp is 1 ohm stable or 4 ohm stable only i would go with the dual 2 ohm

if the mono amp is 2 ohm stable i would go with dual 4 ohm

is this for one woofer only?

one woofer... yes.

I have heard many 2 woofer sealed systems and they sound tight and kind of clappy sounding. I have had good luck with a 12" woofer with a port. I had this set up in my F150 and it sounded good. My Tundra 2008 has 12 speaker JBL now I need some low bass.

I will buy an amp that is 1 ohm stable

how many subs

how much power

 

[mannyahles 10+ year member]

just one 12 inch sub.

The truck has a nice 12 speaker JBL system. Now I want to add some good low bass. I want to find a good set up to run in a 3.5 ft3 box that will have a 3 inch port.

I havent been in the car woofer market for 3 years now and want some suggestions! A friend of mine suggested Precision Power....

What is the BP power? I have looked at these woofers from Fi.

What amp do you suggest for the 12 incher?

I read that Fi has 4 levels of subs... why did you suggest the 2nd lowest?

deends alot on what you are lookin for in sound and how much power you will have on tap

I prefer lower bass as the trucks JBL system has quite a few mids and tweeters!

I can add a good mono amp...

With the BL12 what amps would you recommend?

With the Q12 what amps would you recommend?

Then I could check prices and see what I would be interested in.
