Best option?

[drz52081 10+ year member]

I currently have 2 Infinity Perfect 12's with 300 watts to each. As everyone says, I enjoy SQ, but I want more SPL, alot more....Anyhow, what would you say my options are if I only have 300 dollars I can spend. My current amp can run 1000 watts bridged. I had a couple different combos I was thinking of: 2x500 watts; 2x1,000 (basically out of the picture, although I have one 1,000 w amp); or 1 1,000 watt sub until I can afford the rest. What would you say the best bet for affordable subs would be? Thanks in advance....

Alpine Type-R SWR-1241D is ur best bet i think. then again, im obsessed with alpine for some reason. i have a sws-1040 in my room and it hits hard. i heard the 12 rtype at Ovation, and i was shakin the sound room.

What's your budget? There are quite a few options here, just depends on what you're willing to pay.

I would prefer not to go over $300 which isn't a whole lot, but all I have to work with...thanks

I would like to see a perfect up against a type-r. So many comparisons. I personally have heard 2 12's in a sealed box an it was able to set off car alarms. If that's not loud i dunno what is.

Perfects i mean ive heard, not type r's.

for $300 i'd go with a 12" magnum D2

Mag d2 would be a good choice, i also agree with 2 phoenix gold titaniums. Great SQ, and they will get very loud.

Phoenix Gold would be better than 2 DB Drive PL12D2's or 4's?

Will 400 watts make a noticeable difference?

Otherwise, does anyone think I should try a smaller sealed box, and run 500 watts to each of my Perfects? Thanks

well what is the rms on your amps my best bet would be to go with a magnum d2

 

[drz52081 10+ year member]

300x2@4ohms, 500x2@2ohms, and 1000x1@4ohms for my main amp

Or u could just get to 12s from crutchfield for 300
