[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 7982037, member: 644168"] You should be very happy with the SA12, but make sure that sub gets a good home. That sub is meant to be put into a ported enclosure and most of the prefabs you'll find are either tuned too high or don't have enough internal volume to keep your sub safe or sounding good. Talk to either [USER=637354]@double 07[/USER] ; or @pro\-rabbit ; for building you a proper enclosure or, if your budget is too tight right now, get a prefab 1 cubic foot 12" enclosure and save up for the proper ported box. As for power, don't worry about giving the SA12 hell; it will take a ton of power, but you really won't want over 1K going in if you don't know what you're doing when you tune the sub. Any clipped signal and your sub/amp are going to be toast and no warranty is going to cover that kind of damage. Aim for 600-800W until you get the hang of things, then you can introduce more power to your liking. Knowing that SA-12, though, you won't really need more. [/QUOTE]
