Help with System

[Daddy_ 10+ year member]

Hey guys I am looking to put in a new system in a 2012 Honda Accord HFP. I am looking to run either 2 10" or 2 12" subs in a ported box. I have narrowed it down to 4 different subs. What I am looking to get out of the subs is to have good sound quality but at the same time can get really loud. They will also be running at 1ohm. So if you guys could give me your opinion that would be awesome. I will also match the amp up below I am thinking of using.

Option 1.

Subs: 2 10" or 12" DC Audio Lv4 with Lv5 parts D4

Amp: Sundown Audio 3000D or DC Audio 3500

Option 2.

Subs 2 10" or 12" FI Q Fully loaded

Amp: Sundown Audio 3000D

Option 3.

Subs 2 12" Rockford Fosgate T2 D4

Amp: Rockford Fosgate T2500BDCP or Sundown Audio 3000D

Option 4.

2 10" or 12" Digital Designs 3500

Amp: Sundown Audio 3000D. I haven't checked out the DD amp yet.

option 1 would be my choice .the fosgates ,may not take the power ,the dd's too much money and sound hollow in my opinion.the sundown ,dc, and fi are all quality stuff. also look at ascendant woofers

Well the DD I can get for 450 a sub. DC its around 480 a sub plus I live in Canada so I would have to get it shipped. I am sure the Fosgates can take its own amp can't it? They are also rated at 1500RMS

Hey guys I just got back and I can get a pair of 12" JL Audio W7 for really cheap and was wondering if I should get them over the above options. If I get these W7 can I give them a 1000RMS a piece? I can also get a sundown 2000D amp and was wondering if that amp will be good for it?

the w7 12s can do 1k all day. sundown amp wouldnt be the best. the w7 are a solid 3 ohms each so that will get you to a final load of 1.5. so look for an amp that will do at least 2 k at that ohm level id say go a little bit more for box rise..... if your looking for sql subs i might be selling my diamond audio d9 12s. there sql all the way and i have them on my mmats amp right now doing 1500 rms each all day. there like new. on the other hand thoses w7 12s are nice but i wouldnt do more than 1k maybe a little more but not much. also if your going to get the bdcp amp make sure you have the electrical as its a power ***** i know just sold one last month and a few months before that

Thanks for the info. Could you tell me a few amps that will do 2k at 1.5 ohms. i am not too great with all this stuff as this is my first system I am putting in and wanna do the right way. Also If I do not decide to get these what option would you say would be good. As I said before I am looking for something that gets loud but still has good SQ.

it really depends on what you want. im guessing u want an sql setup which you need a good amp with a good sub. out of your options id do 2 but i would use sundown amp. look for some sq amps. you really need to look into subs and then choose ur amp to fit your needs. heres a topic on caco for sql subs of Any better than the IDMax for SQL? - Car Audio Classifieds

Well guys I just went to my local audio shop and I hear 2 12" JL Audio W7 running off the FPS 3000. The quality and loudness is great but the price of that amp is killing me. Like I said before I can pick up a pair of these used W7 for cheap. Know I would like to know is there any sub on the market that has the same sound quality of the W7 but can get a little bit louder?

Two 12s in an Accord on 3k watts is gonna be loud! My other car is a 2006 Accord and I only have one 12 on 400 watts in there and its loud for what it is. I think mylows made a good suggestion in Ascendant. I just got a Havoc but I haven't installed it yet.

 

[Daddy_ 10+ year member]

Yeah it should be loud. Well from the options I have listed above the DC, DD and I think the RF are all SPL subs and the FI Q is the only quality sub? Can anyone confirm this?
