Best 12" sub for me???

[ThinnestShark11]

Ok to start the box will be an aeroport 2.49 ft^3 tuned to 30 before sub displacement (davetheboxguy). The sub will be given between 750-850 rms. I want to feel the lows!! My limit is as close to 200 as possible:

Sundown Audio Sa-12 d2

Skar vvx 12 v2 d2

Obsidian Audio 12 d2

American Bass xfl 12 d2

Alpine type r 12 d2

Soundqubed hds3 12 d2

Add TC-sounds Epic 12" to the mix.

How would that sound with the setup?

Should be good, definitely hits the lows. Check out the recommended enclosure:

Vented Volume2.26 ft.³Vented F330 Hz

After displacement, it should be virtually a perfect match for your box. It's a good all around sub.

Could it handle the rms?

Alpine r's have issues with coming unglued.

I'd say it can. Be mindful when setting the gain. Has 2000W max, which is 4 times the RMS...weird. I think 700W would be perfect for it, leaves you with good headroom.

How would it compare to say the sa 12? Ive seen reviews and mostly everyone uses them for home or sound quality

Yeah Ive seen some reviews that say that.. out of the rest, which one would you recommend to use?

 

[fly_marlin]

I've heard obsidians get low and that's also generally what I hear about sundown. Personally only have experience with TC and soundqubed. TC gets my vote on the lows.

Yeah theyre good but idk how they would sound with 800 rms when rated for 1200
