New setup help

[Psasassin]

Hi. My name is Brian and I'm new to this forum. I recently sold my old subwoofer which was an alpine type e in a ported box. I am now saving up for a nice system that I hope to get around September or October. I was thinking about 2 sa-12's, or 3 sa-8's, or maybe even one sundown z series. It doesn't have to be sundown but from what I've heard they are good. My budget for everything (subs and amp and box) is around 700 dollars. I want something that is loud as ****, very clean sound, and can hit the lows extremely well. If you guys have any better setups for me for around that price range, please tell me, I am very lost at the moment on what I should get. Thanks!

How much watts do you think you want to run?

SAs are 600 watts rms but can take so much more than that.

The Z series are 1500 rms and can also take so much more than that.

If you want stay with sundown I would go for the 2 sa 12 and in a proper tuned box with a 1200-2000 watt rms amp if the budget is around $700.

I would grab one of these in a 15"

X15 - Fi Car Audio Store

Then power it with this

Quota Street Voltage Amplifier 1000 RMS 1800 Peak

With the money left over get Star mountain or DC creations to build you a custom box. This setup will give you the lows you want, output and reliability since they are high quality products.
