[phantom4421]

Looking for best bang for my buck. Spending around 200 to 250 for both of them. Im going for 2 12s in my car and its going to mainly be rap, so wanting loudest possible for price range. Ive found a couple different ones for the price range but idk which ones would be better. Heres what ive found so far:

Kicker cvr12

Lanzar maxp124d

Sundown e12d2

Jl audio 12w0v3

Rockford fosgate p3d4-12

Alpine swr12d4

Power acoustik mofo-124x

Precision power pc124

Hifonics brx12d4

Rule out kicker and Lanzar... I'd say go with the sundown or Alpine. American bass is another good option.

If you can fit it, I think this 15 would be better than the options you listed:

Its 250 + shipping. Don't know how it hasn't sold yet, but I'd go with that

Sealed or ported box?

If ported look into the soundqubed sdc or hds2 subwoofers.

Also what amp?

Yea, soundqubed would be another good choice

Im going to have say 2- SQ SDC2.5 12s. They are overall a better sub and cheaper for the time being until they sale out of them. I just ordered 2 of the 15s this morning before they sale out, $230 shipped for the pair....

For your budget sundown sa12's which are 300 shipped for the pair, or sound qubed hds3's

Yeah I looked around in the 250$ range and your lookin at a pair of soundqubed hds2 or if you got a smidge more doe I would do the hds300 series ...helluva woofer for the money.. Also a pair of b stock sundown sa12's is right in there for value.

Yea im go ahead and agree and say the HDS312's over the ones he listed above

Which is better? 2 ohm or 4 ohm? Im ordering 2 hds312s right now and dont know which to get

D4s if you want to run at a 1 ohm load.

D2s if you want to run at a 2 ohm load.

With those HDS312s you will need 2500rms amp. That will also more than likely be too much power for your stock electrical. So be prepared for electrical mods.

D4s if you want to run at a 1 ohm load.D2s if you want to run at a 2 ohm load.

Can you break it down stupid style for me please? Whats the difference in the 1 or 2 ohm load?

Most amps put out more power at 1ohm(lower resistance) Some amps are not 1 ohm stable.

So Getting D4s would be best if you are going to buy an amp that is stable to 1 ohm. D2s if your amp is only stable to 2ohms.

D4s would be my choice. Then find an amp that does 2500rms at 1ohm.

What would I have to upgrade electrical wise? Im still running a stock HU
