Sub recommendation

[tony1977]

I'm getting a Rockford t1500 that will be putting out around 1800 watts. I need some ideas for subs at a decent price that will hold up and have a good combination of spl and sound quality. They will have 1.5 cf per sub and a max mount depth of 7 inches. I have a set of older memphis m3s now but just not real sure if they will handle it even with the gain down. Have asked before how the m3s would do but had now replies. Opinion appreciated!

What is your budget, what kind of music you listen to and what are your goals?

Woofers are two 12s by the way. Listen to hip hop and rock. Budget $350 to $450

Goal are for sound to carry far. They are down firing under rear seat in a crew cab f 150.

if you didnt have a ****** mounting depth i would say a single x-12, but thats way too deep for you, a pair of SA-12's would do the job pretty well though.

one why do you want it to carry far? systems are for personal enjoyment not to annoy the **** out of people,

second down firing under the seat probably isnt the best way to go.

Id sell you a Skar audio zvx-15 1500 rms subwoofer takes 2.5k daily for 350 shipped. Not even 6 months old.

No room for a 15. Space is a issue, had to move seat out and up for the 3 cf box I have now. If I didn't have a family I would build a wall. Just want as loud as I can with what I have to deal with. I see alot of people using sa-12s. Going to research them

Sa 12s or incriminator lethal injection 12s

2 10s.

Will the sa-12s handle that kind of power? Rated 600rms. They say there underrated but how much? 10s would mean more $ to handle same power as a 12. Like the sound of a 12. U get the characteristics of 10s and 15s

 

[Phoenix Risen 10+ year member]

the sa-12's will love that kind of power.
