[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 8147651, member: 644168"] Bringing this thread back to life for a few extra questions (thanks @gckless for reminding me this was here). I'm planning out a build for when I have my reenlistment bonus handy. Vehicle will be an 00-02 Chevy Tahoe with a Zapco DSP-Z8 for processing. As for amplification on the sub stage, I'm considering either a Zed Minotaur II or Zapco Z-2KD (maaaaybe a 3KD), each of which will put out a clean 1.5k at 2 ohms. The overall goal is what most would consider SQL as in I'm looking for clean, accurate bass with a little oomph for when it's needed. Now here's where the underhung question comes in hand. I've been bouncing back and forth between a couple underhung subs for this application and have about 6-7 cubes of space to play with (basically where the third row would be in a Tahoe plus a few extra inches into the cargo bay). I understand that you don't get a crud-ton of underhung subs expecting massive output and I'm not in the game to do hair tricks anyway, so consider that removed from my concerns as well. Anyway, here are two choices I've come up with so far: 1. A pair of 12" IA Flatlyne. Like how low Fs is on these and other T/S look impressive (guess I'm glad there's any T/S considering how hush hush IA is about their sub specs) 2. Have Murph from Tantric build me a HDD, but with an underhung coil. This brings power handling down to about 1K which would make it easier to drive on my amp choices. Seeing as how I'm relatively new to the world of underhung subs, I'm just trying to get a feel for what sonic characteristics I should expect from most Daily Driver sub setups. In the past, I've run W3, W6, Infinity Ref/Kappa, ID10, and am currently on a DC Audio Level 2 10" in a slightly oversized box (makes it a smidge boomy, but I can handle it). I proposed this elsewhere, but am looking for a few guys' opinions on what to run without breaking the bank. Including the purchase of the Tahoe, I'm looking to spend no more than 10K. As for music, I listed to just about everything, so want this sub stage to feel at home playing anything from Miles Davis to Mozart to Martin Solveig to Megadeth and everything in between.
