What are your goals? If you just want to be loud go with HDC3's and save some cash!

Ive been all over the place the past week on what to do with my current setup and what I want to get. I just cant make up my mind on anything.

goals and budget ?

Looking to spend as least as possible but want to spend enough to get the job done if you know what I mean. Ill have to piece the system together as funds are available if i'm looking at a hefty price tag. My goal was to sound better and be louder than the old system but I failed while learning some. Now I just pretty much want to be LOUD, like you can hear me coming from the end of the road loud. Ive already started on my electrical (big 3 and xs power under hood) and plan to finish it up with a ho alternator, possible dedicated ground to the front battery and add at least one rear battery before I change subs. Want to make sure my saz2500d is on solid electrical before I put higher demanding subs on it. Did some careful listening and tinkering today and the sa-10s really are some great woofers, I just don't think their up to the task for my goals. Think i'm headed in the right direction now, newbies gotta burn a time or two before they can bump

in that case pick up a couple of HDC3 12s and save some cash like said above. Get 2, Dual 2 HDC3 12s and run that bish at .5 ohm because HDC3s like alot of power(more then what they are rated lol)

Didnt know I could run the saz2500d down to .5ohm, what kind of power am I looking at here?

around 3k , but resistance and rise comes into play ,so you may not get as much as you think .also what size box are you looking at here ? that will help with a sub recommendation as well

X's for sure dc=blown sub

Think I can fit 4 cubes, I would have to double check with a mock up to see if it will fit in and out of the trunk. For figuring and recommendations I would say its safe to go with 4 cubes after displacements.

Well with 4 cubes it leaves a lot of options dc will be out too big 1.5 per sub on dc The x , xfl, havoc , tantric hd are all good subs to consider
