Ordering Tomorrow, thoughts ?

[BlackNavDown]

Thank you for all the info the forum has provided currently. Tomorrow I will be ordering two more Sundown SA12's or two Sundown X 15's and would like your opinion on which to go with as a daily ground pounder setup? My second SCV2000d showed up and would be strapped to run the two 15s for a total of 4k (setup1) or each 2000d would be hooked up at 1ohm on two SA12's each to push around 800 clean watts to each 12 (setup2) which would be ultimately better for daily listening, demoing, local comps. Your opinions will determine my order tomorrow so thank you!

This will be on good electrical as well. Ported or 4th order, have no decided yet but have the room for a big *** box.

shitt order 4 15" for me....

lol.

Big scott,

Wish I could be that giving. On topic, any thoughts on the setups ?

 

[big scott]

if you have the room for the right box, get the 15" i would.

im getting 4- 12" for now.

but down the road im doing 4-15" wall ...

just make sure you have the space for a box for 2-15" if so go for it.

plus with the 15' strapped amps, it will be easier to set gain. running 2 amps side by side its a little harder to match gains.

so i say strap them.

I would do the 4 SA12s in a 4th order.

Plenty of room for the box, 15' Navigator is what it's going in. It's not hard to gain match with a dmm so strapping or running both amps separate isnt an issue at all. It's just the debate or four SA12's or the two x15's. This is a daily setup. Multiple music types, ground pounder and the ocational comp/demo fun. I'm thinking 800 per sa 12 in a proper ported 8-10 cube box would bang. Or a 4th order but havnt heard the setup run in one. The two x's would just get a nice ported box and do what they do. I currently have two sa 12s which I'm enjoying just want more and the easier/cheaper route is adding two more. So I'm questioning how the 4sa setup would compare to the 2x's. But tomorrow I'm pulling the trigger, even if it means flipping a coin.

I vote 4 12's.

 

[BlackNavDown]

12s ordered, now on to the box. Thinking ported at 8 to 8.5 cubes at 34hz. Sound about right ?

No. Do a 4th order.

No. Do a 4th order.

If you want a seriously loud setup, do this. Those sundowns love to be in 4th orders. 3:1 ratio, 4 cubes sealed and 12 ported. Tune that to ~45. The 4th's are just too efficient to ignore. A single 12 in a well designed 4th can outdo 2 12's in a ported setup, and take up nearly the same amount of space.

glad you got the 12" i was thinking you were going 2 -12" or 2-15"

my bad.

ya the 12" would be great in a 4th order.

 

[BlackNavDown]

Big scott,

I went four 12's.

Going to look into the 4th order as everyone seems to be pushing that. Let me hit up Cherryman and see what he can whip up.

 

[big scott]

ya i know....

good.

im also going with 4- 12" ..
