high fs and efficient 12?

[05fronty 5,000+ posts]

anyone know of any 12's they have worked with that have a high fs and is pretty efficient? my truck peaks high. only one i really have found is a aq hdc. just seeing if there are any others out there. i'm wanting a pair to hold 1500 right now but then probably double in power later.

looks good, only problem is they need more power than i will ever be able to give them

the FS isn't directly a measure of efficiency.. you need to find the woofer that will do best off the power you have and the box you build..

Pro audio woofers tend to have a high FS, and many are made to handle a lot of power in stage monitors.

The D2 Fi BL has a fs close to 40hz and pretty efficient at 89db 1W/1M, but I haven't modeled it up to see how it'll fair in your application.

I know the Soundstream SPL-X's work well in very high tuned boxes, and I've seen a single one take strapped 1500D's for burps.

Ahh yeah, you'll have to give Mark a call. He said he has a couple laying around still. They took the SPL series down off the website to make way for the new neo line //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

give them 1500 to the pair. i had my 2 btl's knockin for about 6 months off of 1200 watts untill i could afford a nice good amp. price wise those subs are good for what you want, power wise. you will be just fine. you'll get loud and it wont harm the sub.

I was also going to say soundstream spl-x. I loved mine and got very loud.
