The last two or three models were rated for 2000 Watts RMS I believe only the first model was rated for 1500 watts RMS the newest model has a new baskets surround and spider pack with an American-made coil and is supposed to play a lot lower and sound a lot better than older models any of the models will get pretty loud off of good power check their Facebook page to find pics of the actual newest model and make sure that is the one you are getting but even if not still good Subs but I would want that one over any of the older models

well for now ill be using my sundown scv1500 on it probably upgrade to a good 2500w+ amp later... any idea of a good box specs for the HD?

I can't personally design a box don't have the software or the knowledge to use it I can build them though but that doesn't help you make a thread after you get the sub or whenever if you want to build the box right away and ask for help somebody will help you out I'm sure

American Bass subs are a decent sub. I'd run them if I found a good deal on them.

here are some box designs straight from ab site. Categories Box Designs

I have a TNT 15 in a box tuned at around 30hz and it slams on 1000watts

Ok thanks for the reply but I got a deal on 2 xfl 12s I know I have to upgrade my amp but Im hoping it should work for now

Well I have the old rev 2 I think from back in 2011-2012 not sure if the new sa12 are the exact same mine is rated at 600 rms new ones are 700 rms or something like that

Plus I got the 2 xfls for the price I paid to get that 1 sa shipped here years ago......tax,duty and shipping rapes us in the Caribbean...Its expensive just to get a decent setup put together
