[boomboom23 10+ year member]

With the help of Sicaudio, bob, mitch and a couple others I was able to narrow my choices to 4 subs. Here's a little info on what I have.Please give your opinions I appreciate all the help

Car-09 Nissan 370Z Coupe

Amp- Memphis 1100X1 So 500RMS per sub

Enclosure-Will have a custom one made for whatever subs I choose

ported or non-ported--depends on you guys, I need help on this part

What I want for sound- DEEP, accurate bass, no distortion, loud of course

Subs previously-memphis M-1 12inch

Price wanting to pay-I will pay up to $189 range give or take for each sub

Assuming I have enough space for two 10inch subs which ones do you think I would be happy with? Here they are:

Digital Designs: 3500

SSA Store - Sundown Audio SA-10 Subwoofer

THIS IS AN 8INCH,

SSA Store - Sundown Audio SA-8 Subwoofer

WoofersEtc.com - ZX10D4 - Hifonics 10" 4 ohm DVC Zeus Series Subwoofer

You can't look at a DD 3500 for $190. It's not an option. Forget about it as of now.

The Sundown SA is a current forum boner (everyone loves it).

The Hifonics is, in my opinion, the worst choice of the three.

Looks like it's the SA out of these choices. Might as well go with the 10" model.

You should look at the DC Level 3 as well.

anyone heard the zeus before?

I would dare say it will outdo the SA-10 easily

and yes I have heard them side by side...

look at its efficiency and T/S....

I'm not going to flat out call you a liar, but I have a very difficult time believing that. The 10" model is $37 on amazon.

Best jump on them quick, because it's gonna be a mad dash to buy them up when people find out they're better than the Sundown SA line... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thats a flat out lie...The zues is going to reach thermal and mechanical limits around 800-1k rms...the SA is just going to get mad at that point that it isnt getting more power...and the SQ isnt even comparable at all. I have heard both...The zues is actually a pretty good sub for BUDGET applications...the SA is just good period

the 12" vs the sa10...

never heard the sa12 vs anything just the 8's and 10's

never used sold or installed the zeus 10 only the 12's

got 1 in a 99 alero on 450 rms in 2.3cf tuned at 35 and it shakes the entire car and is extremely clean loud and low...

even doing 2 of them vs 1 SA is a no brainer...

cone area wins and 2 of them are cheaper than 1 sa is...

just saying...

he isnt buying from me so I dont care what he gets to be honest lol just telling the truth as I know it.

Is he debating two Zues 12s against 1 sa 10?

 

[SicAudio 5,000+ posts]

and yes the Z12 limit is around 800 never tried putting 1kw to 1 don't think I ever would 800 is pushing them hard.

would you have enough room for 3 or 4 8's cause 3-4 sa 8's would be awesome or the sa 12 or the dc lvl 3 as mentioned

 

[SicAudio 5,000+ posts]

in my pm exchange with him that was his consideration..

using 2 10 or 12" zeus on his amp..

 

[SicAudio 5,000+ posts]

so given the same power cone area wins...

Completely false.. Not when comparing different subs. In my opinion a d2 SA wired to 1ohm on the memphis would be louder then 2 Zues subs at 1ohm.

mmm kay

i wont argue it with you

but if the sa10 and 12 are similar in anyway at all I will agree to disagree...and leave it at that

I believe I would have enough room for 3 SA-8,s but my amp can't push 3 can it? heres the amp link:

WoofersEtc.com - 16-MAD1000 - Memphis 1100 x 1 Class D Marine Subwoofer Amplifier

DC level 3? is this sub on woofersect?

So then the Sundown SA-10 get 2 of these or 1 Sundown SA-12?

Sicaudio has been very helpful by the way he helped with a lot of stuff i was clueless on, well still am pretty much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I would love to do 3-SA-8s if the amp can do it, otherwise it's looking like 2 of the SA-10s

So on these SA subs do I want to port the box or keep in sealed?
