New car, new system!!!

[dudeogo]

Just brought a 2013 Buick verano and it's time for a new system. Thinking 2 12s (though if 15s would fit I would totally do that) trunk walled behind the back seats that fold down. 300 dollar budget per woofer. Shoot me some ideas! I listen almost exclusively to decaf when in the car.

Don't get caught up in what you listen to. A well designed setup plays everything. Unless you just want a fart box.

You should look around at the respected brands and find some you like. I'm sure we can help you go from there. As long as you get a quality product then the differences are minimal.

Well I'm running a sundown sa-15 right now. But I'm looking at SSA icons, Fi SSDs and HDC3.1s

The only reason I mentioned that I listen to decaf is because lows are very important to me. I had decided on 2 hdc3.1 12s but the crazy high free air resonance had me a little worried.

A sub will play sub bass. It's all in the box. Some are better then others at playing lower or higher but the box can even them up.

Of those you listed, the icon probably sounds the best. How much power on tap?

1600 per woofer. Buying a CAB 1600 for each sub.

Definitely shooting for SPL over SQ by the way.

Ssa subs get plenty loud.

Hdc's would likely be loudest. Ssd and icon would both sound better and be more equipped to handle low frequency.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks! Do you have any other suggestions for woofers? 300 dollars a piece.

The Fu 1250s look really promising. No firsthand, but people love the 750s

Loving those woofers and the price! I am definitely doing 15s however because I definitely have the space. My Max box measurements say I have roughly 15 cubic feet of airspace.

The 15s are 249
