4 12's

[wanderer1]

I would like to buy 4 high excursion 12's. Been out of the game for awhile and there are so many choices today. Parameters that I need to stick with are 6" or less mounting depth and able to be used with 1 cuft sealed. All four need to be able to be wired to 1 ohm. Will be driven by an ARC audio XDI 2000.1 Thanks. P.S. I have a ARC 900.6 and an ARC KS1000.1 for trade or cash. Budget is under $600

Good luck. @mylows10 ; can hook you up on some american bass xds maybe some tnts. Only thing i can think of that might work good sealed and in the price range your looking at. Maybe some e series sundowns or sds if you dont have the depth for the e's. Lots of good choives out there just have to research. Googles your friend.

Yeah been looking at the American Bass woofers and they really look good but have a deep depth which I good probably deal with. I was hoping for some good used pricing but can adjust my budget. I have also been looking at the Earthquake lineup which was around years ago when I was into audio more. I don't see many using Earthquakes. Anyone want to chime in with opinions as to why? Been looking at the Earthquake Tremor line

Because earthquake isn't what they used to be

Well what happened to them? False excursion claims, sound bad, don't last? Really like the American bass lineup since I'm a fan of American made and paper cones. 7' mounting depth would really be pushing it and that seems to be where the good AB subs at.

dayton HO 12s, c2 audio threatcon2s, even alpine type Rs can do fine in a 1 cube sealed box.

Not american made...

Look into SSA if you want american made. Will be well out of your budget though.

If I were you I would run two quality 12"s ported in 4 cubes over 4 12"s sealed.

Unfortunate not American made. Leaning towards DC Lvl2 10's
