Help me make my final decision... Sundown, Soundqubed, FU, or SKAR

[lowcel 10+ year member]

I could use some help making my final decision for subs in my Toyota 4Runner. I am planning on two 15's in a sealed enclosure getting a rated 800 watts each. I will be using a CAB 1600.1 amp.

Here are the subs I am considering.

Sundown E 15's or SA 15's. I'm not sure if the E series would do better than the SA's with only 800 watts.

Soundqubed HDS315's.

FU FU750-15

Skar VVX 15V2

One other option would be a single Sundown Audio SA18 in a ported enclosure but I'm really not sure if I am willing to give up the space required for this option.

I voted. Definitely SA 18 ported out of those, but I'd rather run a good 15 ported than two 15's sealed.....

I think one 15 in a larger box would do you well

1 Sa 18 ported = 6cubed box +

2 Sa 15s ported = 6cube box +

So why not do two 15s ported... Sealed blows

Two SA15's require 5 cubic feet sealed. Two SA15's ported would be closer to 8 cubic feet. According to Bryan at Sundown the SA's would be more towards SQ sealed which is what I am after. I prefer quality over just being loud.

Alright, I hope you're happy with the purchase

hds3 and sa18 are 50/50 lol I vote hds3 because I have one and I like it for the price, plus if you have room to port it would pound.

I'm sure I will be. The only negative I see is losing a little more space in the back. I'm going to have to get creative carrying my road bike back there now.

If you wanted to go sealed I would have looked into tc sounds subwoofers.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind if I decide to go with less space down the road, or possibly with my wife's car.

I have always liked sealed but I'm clueless on new subs. I've been out of the hobby for close to fifteen years.

That sub looks huge, especially compared to the bill. The last time I saw an 18" sub in person was back when a dude I skated with got a CV stroker. Box took up the whole cargo area in his s10 blazer, and got loud as hell...on 350w rms.
