New to subwoofers, please help!

LOL i didnt suggest the ebay sub i second somebody else's suggestion of 2 ebay sub with apsm 1500 which will still be under budget, with his budget he can't afford 2 dcons. that video of the E12 is impressive on burp, If i didnt have my 2 15 vvx i would have run 4 of these ebay subs and I am pretty sure will be louder than my 2 VVX 15 now

yup, I would feel extremely comfortable running a couple of E's on a 1200w amp daily...I am sure they will cover any music genre with ease. I run 2 Powerbass 2XL15's in the old lady's 'burban and would gladly recommend them to anyone, but they are out of reach for most of the folks that come here on a tight budget. I had 2 3XL 15's on a AQ 2200 and would highly recommend them too...but the same thing, only worse as far as price. Powerbass is hard to beat for a overall good sounding daily driver on the power they recommend.

 
naughtyca is one of the most uninformed people I have seen on this forum. I can't believe someone would try this hard to get someone else to buy a PoS sub from Ebay over a clearly known, much better Sub like the Dcon. Why don't you just tell him to go buy a pyramid sub or maybe a walmart dual sub while you are at it. Do you have stock in those turd subs from Ebay or something?

EDIT......I did not build my System to get loud, I did it for 100% SQ

 
I had 2 dcon 12's @ 2 ohms on a AQ1200D mono, and they got loud. Sure they are only 2" VC with 300watt rms rating but don't let that fool you, they had great SQ and output when you want to **** off the neighbours.

 
He y I ordered the dcon about 22 days ago, still says awaiting shipment, I live in California, anyone know how long it takes to ship?

And wat do you guys sill hit harder? 1 12" dcon or 2 12" kickers? Im thinking dcon.

Just keep in mind that those SSA subs are Hand Made to order/and then tested before shipping out,so they are not made from an assembly line up, so be patient.I am glad you went with that sub,I know you will be happy with it, and later you can grab another to get even more from a well made subwoofer.I think that one 12Decon compared to 2-12 Kickers/depending make and model, and enclosure, and power, im thinking that 2 subs are always better than one,yet that isnt always true.depends on the sub,enclosure,power,ohm load,and type of environment it is in, as well as the placement of it.lots of things to consider,to compare one to one, or one to two:santa:

 
Yeah thats what I heard about ssa, I looked at the kicker comps and they only have 150 rms each, 2, equalling to 300 rms equal to one quality ssa dcon 12 300rms, and everyone says it hits harder than ang other 300w rms sub. My friend thinks his 2 kickers will be way better than mine but its gonna be funny when mine blow his away haha. But now that i think about it, i should of gotten a portedbox

Btw there kicker 12" comps

As stated on the SSA Store, it's averaging about 21 business days lead time. As for which "hits harder", that is completely dependent on the install.

The rms ratting of a sub woofer has nothing to do with output.

 
Thanks for replying so fast, as you can see, im not too smart with subs, but i was wondering when i get the sub, should i get install it myself? is it easy enough to do? where could i learn how? youtube? or is there a better thread on here for it?

There are TONS of threads on here on just about anything you might need to know. Use the search function. And if after searching you can't find anything, then ask it. Most people will be glad to help you out. Youtube helps on some things, but there are alot of dumb@ss people on youtube. There's still a handful of those here lol, but quite a few less for the most part.

 
installing is quite easy and straight forward. look up wiring guides and instructions on how to do each thing. then make sure you know what you're doing so u dont screw nothin up
