How do you think this new system will sound?

[ForceEdge 10+ year member]

2 Sundown SA 12s powered by a kicker ZXS1500.1 giving each sundown 750rms each?

All 0 gauge wiring done with 320 amp DC Power alternator.

How would you rate the system mentioned above compared to my current system?

Which is:

Kicker IX1000.1 giving this Pioneer TS-W3002D4 a 1000rms

(on my current system I have the 320 alternator and 0 gauge wiring too)

How much louder are we talking?

Better but with that alt you could run alot more power

Box tuning? Box specs? Doubled cone are should be a fair bit louder

And more subs

have you bought the subs and amp yet?

 

[naughtyca 10+ year member]

reason i was asking, you can do a lot better than that and possibly cheaper or almost the same cost

you doubling cone area and upping 500watts, i say if in good box 3-4 db

It'll be a pretty noticeable increase I would say. Get the box right and enjoy.

That sounds like a setup I would run.

Have not bought the subs and amp yet!

What would you have in mind?

Box tuning? Box specs? Doubled cone are should be a fair bit louder 

Getting a custom built box. Prob around 32 to 38 Hz considering I listen to Rock and Rap

for all that i could probably get the subs, box and amp for around 700-800

Get a better amp

I would suggest getting a bigger sub than the normal 600wattlike 2 PSI platform 1 with 750watts or american bass xfl 1000watts and run with a crescendo 2k or that new audiopipe apsm 2k which is being sold in ebay for $170.

Dont limit yourself with a 600watt sub if you have the electrical to support a bigger sub.

Get a better amp

What's so bad about the kicker?

Well the Platform 1s are the same price as the Sundown SAs. ButI know Sundown underates there subs no? I've never heard a Platform 1 or American Bass.

How do they sound?

Also, never heard or crescendo or audiopipe. How are they?

Do you think two Sundown SA12s getting 750 rms each will be better/louder then getting one Sundown Z V.3 getting 1500rms itself?

why pay $700 for a 1500w amp? You could strap a pair of AQ1200D's or an American Bass VFL150.1 for 3k rms on a pair of American Bass XFL 12's for @ the same $ and come out with far better amps and subs.
