hey guys i have an RD Sonance 12'' dual 4 ohm with an Audioque 1200d amp.

im looking to get a new sub that is dual 2 ohm so i can run full power from my amp. is there anything better that i can get for SQ such as maybe an FI Q or something else or maybe just get the RD Sonance reconed into a dual 2 with flatwind. the sub cannot be any bigger than the sonance as space is limited.

you can always try my DD 9012 dual 2 rated at 1000rms ...it is suppose to be one of DD's SQ subs...but in my opinion nothing beats the Critical Mass upper end subs...

naww i used to have 2 dd 1508's and i didnt really like the sound... they sound hollow or something im not sure what it was. i have always liked RD Sonance, FI Q, and Memphis M3 (just subs i have heard in person) i know there are alot of other good ones. just problem i have is fitment and it has to work well is a small sealed box... i have 1200 rms to work with. i almost got a critical mass UL12 from kmanian but i was uneasy about the sub because i have heard AMAZING stories about them and also HORROR stories as well.

for sealed SQ setups dont u want to stay under about 1000 rms?

i want to be SQ but i also want it to be decently loud... nothing extraordinary i know but a little more then what i have now. with only running about 800 rms at 2 ohms
