None of them will do very well without an amp...............

I will get amp after I decide which woofers.

DD or sundown IMHO , the aq's just can't dig as deep as the other two. I love me some teeth rattlin lows.

DD are a little pricey depending on how much watts you want to push but they are worth it. sundown does a great job with their subs and you wont be let down with both of their products

I am gonna go.with the Sa-12's,what sundown amp will make these handle their business the best?I see that they can do more than their 600 rms rating.what would you guys recommend to push them to their optimal performance?

^^ That would be a Korean not Chinese assembly line. Plus DD assembles the soft parts for all the HDC3's in house in the good ole USA. Not saying that makes them just as good as DD but they are quality nonetheless. HDC3 12" Min $300 DD9512 12" Min $600...

Sundown SA's are very nice for the price and pretty much walk all others that are priced in the mid $150 range..

OP, are you considering Fi? Fi makes excellent subs. Their SSD model are rated 800 rms and their 12" is priced at 179$. the SA-12's are rated 600 rms and priced at 195-200$ for their 12"

I have seen with my own eyes a pair of sundown sa-10's taking a pair of GP3000's strapped. Thats well over 4500 watts got kinda stinky put they did not fail. Not saying the Fi's cant do the same but until I see it with my own eyes I want comment on them.
