I have an 1100W amp (will realistically get 1000W from it) that will to feed my subwoofer(s). Now I'm looking to buy subs. I have enough room for a proper enclosure (in SUV) for any of the following options, and my budget will allow for any choice. Given the option would you:

A. Marginally power two mid-level, quality 12's (500W to ea. 750W RMS sub)

B. Completely power two entry-level, quality 12's with a little headroom (500W to ea. 400W RMS sub)

C. Over power one mid-level, quality 12---think lots of headroom (1000W to a single 750W RMS sub)

D. Completly power a single entry-level 15 (1000W to a single 1000W RMS sub)

E. Marginally power a single mid-level 15 (1000W to a single 1500W RMS sub)

Goal is to sound good, but I do like loud. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Let's assume a different amp isn't an option. Please vote, A, B, C, D, or E.

Thanks,

Jeff

Ive ran SA 12s on as little as 300w before rise. Iirc it still did around 136 in a trunk on that low of power.

So id vote 2 sa12, although the newest E's perform very close to the SAs

1. What amplifier do you have?

2. How much room do you have for a box?

3. What vehicle?

4. Will you be using a prefab box or a custom built one.

All of these details could change the recommendations.

E? Single sundown SA15 or American bass XFL 15 or a SSA Gcon. A custom built box can and will make any of these sound good on almost any power

1. Alpine MRX-M110 (1100W mono, benched 1175W @ 14.4V, but I only expect 1000W)

2. 4 cubes net

3. '04 Ford Expedition

4. Custom enclosure

Expeditions have so much space that's great. Xfl 15 and custom enclosure (t-line perhaps?)

If it was me, I would do option A, with option E as a close second.

i would do 1 sa 12 or 15, u could do 2 sa's but they would want more power
