Pick me out some 12" subs

[sprinklerman 10+ year member]

These will be in a downfire under seat box, sealed. 7.75" max depth , 1.13cuft each ,before woofer displacement. I have 600w @ 1ohm right now. Will upgrade to 1k-1.5k later if need be. Looking to keep it under 250.00 per sub if possible. Looking for musical sub with nice bandwidth. Would do a single low ported, but it's a complex build to keep it under the seat and can't find a box builder.

Thanks

skar vd's are like $79 shallow mount., but u should able to do 2 sundown E's bstock on car audio bargain are $95 each., be good when u get bigger amp..

Not really into Skar audio.

I've had the sundown E's before, they were ok,but I'd prefer to try something different now.

I really liked the sound of my low tuned Icon,but I'd have to do a ported single to stay in budget .

Alpine type s?

I talked to a shop about it and that's what they recommended. Like I said,my preference would be a ported Icon,but finding an enclosure builder has been a chore to say the least. That being said,I'm not against the alpines,if the two of them sealed would compare output wise and have that nice fat bottom end that the Icon does.

The new S is underhung. Output wont be absurd, but sq will be very good. And the mounting depth is manageable

Right on.

I think the sundown SD3 is also running an underhung design on all sizes too. Anyone heard one in person?

The type S is one of the better woofers Alpine has made. Along with the shallow R

Yes the sd3 is also underhung

Why 12's?

Why 12's?

Because the enclosure I'm forced to use has 1.13cuft internal volume. A little large for most sealed 10's that I've seen.

I see, so the box is already made. I had to go back and re-read.
