Soundstream t6 12" vs Sa-12

Each sub retails around the same. I know both manufactures are AMAZING I was just wondering which do you guys think would be louder and/or run better numbers.

What power? What box? What car? What purpose?

I say SS just to be different but both are good subs so you can't go wrong.

I would bet money any day that the SA-12 will take more abuse. The T6 is going to have very little force air cooling due to how the cone is suspended... and it is also a 2.5" coil like the SA driver.

T6 specs :

In the 12" size the motor force is significantly lower than the SA-12... it does have a lower FS from a much softer spider, though... x-max figures on par with the SA-12 but lacks any inductive treatments like the SA-12 has.

It's probably a pretty good sub overall, though, but I really doubt it would hold up to what an SA-12 will withstand.

^^^ True never seen a SA fail due to a thermal issues just mech.

OP: FYI: go to onlinecarstereo.com and use the discount code sst1511 and you can pick up a 12in T6 for $152.15 shipped.

yea i DONT like how the ss is built. as in what parts are used cause of too many failure point. the cooling really ***** more of a midrange design...

OP- if youre looking for cheap I think the SS would be great but I'd listen to Jacob and Corey (SPL) here, they've forgotten more about subs than we'll ever know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/santa.gif.e1ec9cf2e0a0dd232ad35aa594a126d0.gif

Thanks guys. I thought the sa would be better just because it is built to withstand major abuse. I was just curious for I haven't seen a t6 in person or ben able to find reviews on it.
