Help me choose my subwoofer

I can always go back to my original subchoice and get those components, would the difference be easily noticeable

The Cab Ultra 12 would be louder. If you go with the Dayton you don't need as strong of an amp which might be better in your case since you're on a stock alt and battery. Maybe get the Dayton and put it in a low tuned(30-33hz) ported box

As much as I like the Harmon Group (JBL, Infinity, Harmon Kardon) I'd be willing to bet the ID's would sound a little better being they are dedicated to sound quality.

Stock alt and battery was one of my concerns using a more powerful setup

I know I can probably ditch the rear speakers

That was my only thought. I'm a big fan of JBL/Infinity/Harmon lineup. That 609 component set is incredibly good for the money.

If you don't mind buying refurb, these guys have some good refurbished amps Twisted Sounds TS1.3KW - The Amp Lab

I'd buy Korean over the CAB. You'll need to find D2 woofer though.

These are very good bang for the buck HDC3.112 1500W Subwoofer Might want a bit bigger and higher tuned box than the one you linked but would hang a bit better with 1200W on tap.

Then maybe look at a less powerful amp like 1-1.2k or run the CAB at 2 ohms.

609c JBLs sound amazing and are very well built. They're old now so the price has come down a lot. I'd put them right up against ID.

I was basing my opinion on the JBL coaxials I've heard, never heard JBL components but I'm not doubting what you're saying.

If I put 1k rms to the one of those subs along with my 400rms amp my electrical will be okay? Friday is purchasing day so I'm ordering it all then ��

Very much depends on your listening habits. You certainly wouldn't need to do any more than upgrade the ground from frame to battery and get into a good quality AGM under the hood if your existing battery is old.

For what you're trying to do I doubt you'd really notice a difference. Dayton is very popular and should be all around well built and good sounding.

does the thread bother you?

Yeah reviews I'm seeing on the Daytona they seem like they have great sq and put out some boom, spending more money is cutting into my sound deadener funds.

I ended up purchasing a JBL GTR-1001 (great sale price) and the Rockford p400x4. You think just the frame to ground with 1/0 gauge would be fine, battery is brand new.
