Hello,
TL;DR below.
I have 2015 Audi RS5 and I am finally adding a subwoofer system because I’m tired of the 8” stock sub. I know there are a lot of people on here that are really well versed in all things car audio. So I need help.
I am making the move for a local installer to install a subwoofer, amp, and build the enclosure. The local installer wants to use a Rockford Fosgate T1D412 combined with a Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bdCP. He said he wanted me to do my research before settling on this combination. So he’s flexible and that builds trust with me.
Now I know mainstream subs like RF and JL Audio are not the best, probably not even close to the best. I’ve been out of the game when it comes to car audio.
So can anyone help me with a subwoofer, amp, that would meet the following requirements:
- Keep stock/factory electrical system. My car’s battery has the following specs: 110Ah, 520A DIN / 850A EN/SAE/GS. which is ~900 CCA. The alternator is 190 Amp.
- Budget: Within reason for what I want.
- Not looking to be loudest on the block or win any competitions. (I’m sorry I just don’t have the time)
- Prefer SQL over SPL but I don’t mind SPL. So a good balance if possible.
- Still need to use half my trunk and even need 1 side of the seats to fold down (Sealed?)
- I listen to Hip-Hop/Rap, Electronic especially Drum N Bass
TL;DR:
2015 Audi RS5. Local installer wants to use a Rockford Fosgate T1D412 combined with a Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bdCP.
Thoughts?
Thank you so much! You guys are all awesome when it comes to what you know and I appreciate the help.
