New Sundown SA 12 Need amp and box advice

[FrankTheTank]

First time poster, long time viewer here. Just got a SA-12 D2 and I am looking for an amp to power it. I was looking at the SAZ 1000D and wanted some thoughts on it. I'm open to other suggestions, new or used.

I also am looking for a ported box and wanted to know where I can find one with Sundown's specs 1.5 cu ft at 35hz. Or any members here who can custom build one?

Any and all feedback is appreciated!

i had a sa12 on a saz1000 in 2.25 cubes tuned to 33htz and it sounded awesome..1.5 cubes is a lil small ..and yea theres a few builders on here that will build and ship a custom box to you @double 07; @pro\-rabbit;

If you are looking for something less expensive check out the APSM 1300, can be had for ~$1000 and wired to 1 ohm will push about 1000watts rms to the SA12. Thats my currenty setup in a 1.5ft^3 with dual 3" aero ports... It gets loud and low I am pretty happy. You can also order the innon 1500 off ebay which is apparently a rebranded audio pipe for a bit less. I have read some good reviews.

I'm running the aq 1200 on a sa 12 at 1 ohm in a 2.25 at 33 hz. Ask my boy timmy how that shi* wangs.

Hey Nasty I didn't see one for $160, do you have a link? But I do see a Audioque 1200.1 for $76 on ebay....just have to wait a week as theres no buy now. I'll look to see if theres anyone on this forum selling one in the classifieds.

If I can get the AQ 1200 for under 200 I'll grab one. Otherwise I'll probably get the saz 1000D or wait for the saz 1200D
