well you dont want to wire one of the skars at 1 ohm...thats double its rms...it would be perfect if you had two of them...but for one you can wire to 2 ohms or maybe 4...i would buy one dual 4 and wire to 2 ohms and if you want to get another one then wire at 1 ohm

why dcons and not icons? just wondering

and well im looking for a sub that is great up to 60-80 hz that can also pound down low with clarity!

Also, my verdict for price limit is

So I think skar, iconn, dc, or fi. Im surprised no one is pushing for dd woofers!

Thats because with a budget of 300 or less you could barely get a 2500 series (assuming bought new from dealer). I had a 2510 and its a great sub but for under 300 its not even a top 5 contender. The 3500 and up series is where DD starts to impress me.

thanks, I was curious before hand when i had no limit but I don't compete in spl so I think i should find a product that can satisfy me for that price.. Quick new subject can an re s e x 12" wired to 1 ohm handle a full aq1200? if i set the gains with multimeter, clean signal, good ported box!

^^ if so what gauge wire should i use for my speaker wire? 8 gauge?

If you are looking to run the AQ at 1 ohm I would look at the FI Q in a good ported enclosure.

As for you earlier post, no subs do not take up much space. However, the total of port, bracing, 45s, and sub will be a good chunk of space.

i would not run a re *** on an aq, id rather run a sa-12 or skar 12 or incriminator audio li

I really like Fi audio, their products always look top notch. I would most likely be building my own box, so what type of bracing do you recommend? 45's meaning using a routing table to cut the corner of my port walls to 45 degree angles? I was planning on using one of the free enclosure designs on this site.

I think im limiting my choices to dc, sa, ssa (icon), or fi.. maybe dd if i can get some reasonable prices today..

those are the DD 8's ....I'm looking at doing a similar setup with a DD M1B Its about the same power as your amp...The box will be 3cu ft counting port...

I don't know what to choose.. I have to sell my re first. Then I can get an Fi q, which i've always wanted one haha or I can choose from icon,skar, dc, dd.. I'm waiting on thorshammer to write me back on the pricing for dc lvl 4. I have a dealer thats north of me that sells dd audio. Fi also has like 4 options and im not sure which are a necessity (if any). For example cooling, high qts, spider, P chamfer, and I heat ring
