But in all seriousness you are just splitting hairs. sundown e is a great choice, the fi i posted is an amazing sub. The cab i have heard great things about.

yeah pioneer probably get great for me, I guess sundown actually be close to hp I just had so should be good, I was looking at other amps ppi 650 is only 1 look right., I wish peeps recomended ppi ice 2600 but seem not to like it.. don't know y peeps o down on all mainstream stuff that pioneer is nice.. i'll look at sundown again

You can look all you want, but really you need to shit or get off the pot man. You can play the what if game until hell freezes over. With the time you've spent trying to split hairs between budget subs you could've made some extra cash cleaning out gutters/doing odd jobs and gotten a big boy sub like the cab ultra.

does it really do 1200rms?, afraid that'll be to much for my electrical, if I get those it would be nice set up.. I was almost sold on the sundown e but I like looks of cab just no reviews on it anywhere..

It sounds like you shouldn't be worrying about car audio.

maybe right on 3' vc but my hp only had like 84db and mms 226 these other subs are lower or about the same some have higher db and hp was pretty loud (for me) if going bt db rating I'd get pioneer champ 96db came in #1 in top ten subs list (SD e came in 10th cause it's inefficient) also pineer fits my box perfectly cause that's what I got it for years ago.. thinking about AB xs specs very close to orion but can't find box size, other lower ends ab subs list larger box than mine..

I actually just heard the pioneer premier champion cheapo subs in my buddy's setup. two 10s sealed at 4 ohms on a pioneer amp, does 250 at 4 ohms. Not too shabby for the amount of power put on there. Should satisfy average joes just fine.

Just saw this lmaoooo Yeah car audio is a luxury, not a necessity. You cant drown out all your problems with car audio alone, thats like alcohol/substance abuse. No money, buys alcohol instead of fixing core issues. In this case, no money, buys car audio lmao.

it's legit 1200rms you can tell by the fuses. It's cadence top line. You can't beat it. I would jump on it. What type of car.1200rms on big 3 At 2ohm no problem most of the time except for a few cars

Pick up the pioneer and call it a day. It's really not worth wasting time second guessing yourself at this budget.

Otherwise if you want to minimize how much you spend and don't mind buying used you can always check pawn shops, craigslist, or local yard sales/flea markets. You can generally find some decent equipment if you give it some time. That would be the best bang for buck.
