Help me choose subs Camaro SS

[Aaron0731]

Install going in my 2010 Camaro. I have a vehicle specific box at 1 cuft per chamber sealed, 2 12" subs. I am limited to a 6.5" mounting depth. Power will be supplied by a Hifonics brx 2000.1d which puts out 2000W at 1 ohm and 1400W at 2. I am going with a 2 ohm load.

So far I like the Image Dynamics IDQ12 and the Alpine type R. Thoughts between these 2 and what other good options are there? I've been out of car audio since the early 2000s and am getting back in.

Mounting depth too deep on the Kappas

Mounting depth too deep on the Kappas

i dont think youll find many who will argue with either the idq's or type-r's esp if youre getting them for the right price and not wanting to go huge on spl. Thats not to say that they wont get loud in the right box and with that amp. If the amp is 1 ohm stable, you should probably go with the 1 ohm final impedance.

I made that mistake when i bought my subs 4+ years ago thinking that it would be "going easier" on the amp

I will give you a sweet deal on the Kappas I have. And you said 6.5" depth, the Kappas I have are 6 5/16" which should work just fine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

$95 per sundown e series is dang good! Cheaper than my rockford P3's and theyre likely more violent

yeah the bstock just have 30 day warranty but if u set gain right thats all u need.. tey just may have xtra glue on front of it of something minor like that.. guy here in florida got 2 15 E 's v2 there they sent wrong ohm loads so they refunded $ and sent him 2 newer v3 models free., so i talk them up.. he has big suv with cheap 1300rms amp he traded for and says subs shake ground all around the truck.. just ask peeps if u need more clearance in depth cause E 12's are 6.5" u may have to screw baffle (board) to front to gain 3/4" more depth idk..

I've considered going to 1 ohm but 2 is substantially easier on my cars electrical system.

Model # of your subs?

his subs may just be called infinity 120.9w i found some specs on the online...... sundown is the sub of choice for most peeps here, the E is 500rms but handles 800, the sa is 600rms but peeps run twice that and the x is 1500rms i think and there others past that very big.. https://www.infinityspeakers.com/subwoofers/KAPPA+120.9W.html

Nice, those do take a small box. How do you like those Champion Pros? I've heard GREAT things about those and actually was going to buy them but they don't make a dual 2 ohm version. And the RMS might be a little low for my amp.
