Thought process system building

Before your friend builds the box get the design info and let us check it.

You just never know if your getting a good one or a bad one

This is precisely why I always advise against low end equipment. Even if they make some "good" products quality control will be all over the place.

I have read on a few different threads that the CAB Ultra 12"s are an older model of Sundown. If so then what is a comparable Sundown 12" to get especially price wise and would the CAB 1600.1 amp be enough to push the 2 12" Sundown subs? Or would getting 2 12" CAB Ultras be safe? Thanks

Its not an older model, its a superior model. You'd have to pay 400 dollars to get something similar with the sundown counterpart. the ultra is basically almost 2x the weight of a sundown SA series just to give you perspective. 50lbs vs 26lbs.

What will the extra weight of this CAB Ultra sub mean or have needed to be done for the system?

I see that the CAB Ultra 12" has a 750 watt rms, but what is the subs max wattage?

Max wattage is a made up term to trick newbs

you mean whats the number it sees before it dies? AKA max wattage?

10,000 or a wall socket.

Seriously, never EVER talk about max or peak wattage again. Garbage useless trash numbers that you should NEVER look at or take into account for anything EVER again.

The extra weight means a MUCH stronger motor translate to loudness and better quality then whatever else you suggested.

Also higher wattage numbers doesnt mean the sub is louder it just means you need to feed it that much amplifier power for it to get loud. aka power handling. unless you have ridiculous amounts of amplifier power like over 3k rms, you shouldnt worry about power ratings. Look into the sub's contruction, basket, motor, voice coil, designs cone construction, Electromechanical parameters aka ts specs. all those are the proper way of knowing if a sub is good or not.

When you go out and shop with just power numbers and ratings in mind is how you get led to buying garbage products aka boss, pyle, power acoustik, lanzar.

I did not know that about those numbers and thank you for your response about the additional weight
