Rockford Fosgate P3D4-12?

Oh, a better altinator is what you mean electrically, got'cha. So a higher end 15 will kick well for me? Making the rearview move? ;-)

I'm almost positive that a 15" woofer in a good box on ~1000w would seem like the loudest thing you've ever heard.

Most likely, where I'm from (a small 190k pop city) loud is considered two 12" kicker VRs

So you'll highly recommend a just higher end 15", what one of those 3 would you recommend highest?

Not loudest I've ever heard, loudest privately owned though. I went in a 10,000 watt sub van hosted by Fosgate at Warped tour, that's why I had my little heart set on Fosgate, however, I am happy I didn't after speaking with your wiseself.

The safe play IMO is the SA... proven subwoofer over and over and over again.

Not sure if outside links are acceptable, however, is this what you are pointing me towards?

Amazon.com: SA-15 D4 - Sundown Audio 15" 600W Dual 4-Ohm SA Series Subwoofer: Electronics

Also, what about amp wise, what one of those two is more desirable?

Yeah, that's the woofer.

for amps, I've personally never owned one, but that B2 Audio Quota is a very nice amp, and for $250 you really wont find a better deal.

If you wanna learn more about that amp, I'd talk to @TaylorFade. he tested one a while back and had some really impressive results.

i run two RF P312D4's and i personally think they are nice subs. i have them running through a Diamond Audio D1000.1 amp giving me 1100 watts RMS @ 1 ohm. i am very pleased with the performance, and you always have to remember that amplifiers play a huge role in car audio

i say 2 qpower deluxe 15s in an atrend sealed box on an apsm-1500. If you blow those subs, ill be surprised.

what're you talking about? obviously compared to some of these 40,000 watt trucks it's not loud, but in general it is definitely a loud van.

There are many daily drivers that are louder and move more air. I sat in in at the warped tour in town.

this is true, the airflow in that van is pretty poor, but i definitely think it is loud regardless

Lets put it this way. Its loud but not loud for 12 15s.

I said it's the loudest I'VE ever heard. Without a doubt, the loudest.

Anyway, back on topic, now that I have input from others, are the Fosgate P3D4 an alright way to go then? This other guy had me all hyped up on Sundowns, but if Fosgates are still gonna kick, then I'll spend half the money.

Kickers are a pretty well-known entry level sub, are Fosgates of same quality ?

Or better? Lower?

I used to have a RF T1 which kills your P3 and that did not even come close to Skar and Sundown or Obsidian. Don't waste your money on RF P3
