Single 12" for bmw

[BlueXI]

Hi everybody... new to the forum. I have been checking out a new setup for the bimmer. i currently have 2 12's that i picked up for pennies from a local guy. although they sound good they are cheapies . and they take up to much room. im looking for a SINGLE 12" that will blow my mind in about 2-3 cubes tuned to about 32hz. after measuring 5 times i believe i can fit a box that size in the bimmer but that all the room i can spare. i was looking at the fi ssd 12. its 1000rms which matches my amps 1 ohm rating perfect. but i have also considered the sa-12. ive heard they can get LOUD. i know there are a lot of good companies out there so feel free to recommend. but if u do plz tell me why u recommend said woofer.. thanks in advance

dc lvl 3 12 ,will get louder and likes smaller boxes so you can save room with a smaller box.or a xfl 12 1000 rms and a great sub for the money ,prolly cheapest of the ones you mentioned and the dc .now if you want an sq sub then look at the dayton ultimo ,nice sounding sub ,decent price

What amp do you have? Most subs that are currently out right now will work rather well with that kind of space to work with. Depending on your power, budget, and desired response we can help narrow down a few choices on what WE think would be the better options. However, in the end it is your choice and your ears so take what any of us suggest with a grain of salt.

The eD13A.v2 in my E53 get's pretty low in 2.4Cube @ 33Hz on 1200RMS it has nice excursion sounds great and all my eD gear has been very reliable. Trouble is they went under and you can no longer just order one..They do come up for sale from time to time though.

after measuring some more I think 2 cubes is as big as I can get... I'm really thinking about the sa.. it's supposed to be best at 2cubes art 35 hZ

I would take the SSD over the SA for sure.

 

[BlueXI]

why would u say the ssd?

why would u say the ssd?

The sundown is a great sub but the ssd is better in every way in my opinion.
