Need help picking out 4 12s!!!

[35thStangGT 10+ year member]

Ive only used kicker in all my set ups so im scared to move on from them but i know theres better poential out there.

Ive been looking into the sa12, But will 4 sa12s, on 3000w, be as loud as 4 kicker l7s?

I want my buddies to say **** THATS LOUD, and shake windows..

The SA12s price is better than Kicker l7. And my experience is kicker subs dont last long (at least their square subs)

What are some other options? Its going to have to be sealed too. Ive had kickers in sealed and ported also..

what size and kind of enclosure are you going to be working with? what car?

99 stang. I can fit a nearly 6ft cu box in the trunk.

sealed

and I im leaning toward Sundown subs. (sa12)

and those skar subs beat.. Whats the price on a 12? Im buying 4 of em, and will they take more than what the RMS says? Im gonna be pushing at least 1k to each onee

It would be better to go with a smaller amount of subs & go ported imo.

I agree with smaller amount of subs and ported as well.

Also you can not compare the "loudness" of a round sub to that of a square sub. A square sub acts as a larger subwoofer, but also requires more space. Bottom line, you won't fit them in the proper enclosure in you trunk.

I was referring to square subs. Also, a sarcastic remark is not needed. I have given you truthful info already.

Any 2 or 3 good 12s ported will work great. Just ensure the enclosure is designed/built well as that will mean more then the actual product does.

we are not saying that you cant , we are saying that 3 ported will be louder than 4 sealed.you said that you wanted your friends to say holy s.it who is that .well if you do it the way we are saying , they will

 

[35thStangGT 10+ year member]

Okay. I have a few more questions then. With 3 subs how would I wire them down to 1ohm? :x

The absolute largest box I can go with in a 6.67 cu ft.

I wanna be louder than my friends 1 15 L7s because he always says nothing is louder.. >.

This.

Just because you can cram subs into a small space does not mean it will work the way you want it to. Most of the time it will yield less then desired results.
