Help! 1 Sundown audio x-10 or 2 Sundown audio SA10s

[SRT8 Wolf]

I'm kinda in a bind right now I can't decide whether to go with 1 x-10 or 2 sa10s. I currently have a Sundown SAE-1000D amp and 2 e12s on stock electrical but my e12s recently blew so I'm looking to replace them what would be louder the 1 x-10 or 2 sa10s.

I wasn't super impressed with my X-10.

With that power especially, I wouldn't recommend it.

Two SA's would be better if you have the space.

However, I would do one 12" or 15" SA in a ported box instead of two 10's

i think it depends on enclosure of box ' i have 2 American Bass XFL 10s with a memphis prx1000 ' believe me they sound loud and clean ' people always think i have 12s and 15s but no buddy they are 10s lol i always laugh when they tell me that .

The E's should take that power fine. If you blew them it was prly clipping. So whatever you end up doing you better turn the gain down . Or watch a YouTube on how to set your gain properly. Me personally I would get an xv2 10" on a big box and tune low. It should still have good output... But of coarse two sa 10s will be louder.

They Es still play fine but one has a rip in it and pops. So will the x10 play louder overall or the sa10s

So 1st you said you blew your E series subs then say that they still play but pops and has a tear...??

Do you even know what a blown sub/subs is/are?

And I don't get why people don't like the Sundown X series subs. Mine play great.

And as for suggestions on the x10 or 2 10's, me personally, I'd get the 2 10's. More cone area and an opportunity to get a good designed ported enclosure for them should bang pretty good.

I may just go with the sa12s. What box should I get for them?

That will depend upon how much room you have to work with.

I have 1 sa-10 v3 ported and it exceeded my expectations. 2 would be loud as balls. Why not 1 x-12?
