Recommendation on Sundown SA-8 or SA-12

[sittinSideways]

Hi all, I'm looking to get a subwoofer for my '13 FRS.

I like to listen to a lot of Eurobeat, trap, and trance (so very fast based bass, accuracy is important)

I'm not trying to get window-shaking, car-rattling bass. I just want some extra deep oomph that my stock speakers don't provide on the low end. I am looking for deep, clear bass

While researching through the forums, I decided to go with Sundown audio, as they are reasonably priced and of high quality.

Here are my questions:

1) From watching videos, it seems like a SA-8 is more than enough for my needs (plenty of vids of them rattling cars and windows). Would anyone agree/disagree?

2) For a single sub, should I go with the 4 OHM or 2 OHM?

3) Any recommended amps?

Thanks!

Get the sa8v3 d2 and wire to 1 ohm. Put it in a .75 net cube ported box tuned to 38hz or if you have the room put it in a tline and it will bang guaranteed.

Thanks! I see you build boxes, might have to take you up on that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

A SA-8 with the right amp and right enclosure will def be a nice choice. They are little monsters! I run a sundown E8v4 and while def not an SA-8, it works pretty darn good for my small car.
