Whats the loudest setup i can do with 1200 watts (AudioQue 1200D)

[I_Love_Bass 10+ year member]

Hello everyone, i'm buying a new car soon, so no suv for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. And since its going to be new i really don't wanna run out and buy a new alternator and battery RIGHT NOW. maybe down the road when i upgrade.

So i plan just to run a 1200 watt amplifier, whats the loudest setup (to the ear) i can do with this? I'm not going to comps, just daily driving and beating the local guys lol.

Heres some of my ideas: If you have better ones please post!

1 Audioque HDC3-15 (1000RMS 2000 peak) in 4.5 cubic feet ported box tuned to 36hz run by AQ1200D

2 Audioque SDC 2.5 12s (600rms each 1200 peak) i dont know what size box but also powered by AQ1200D

2 Kicker CVR 12s in ported box

2 Alpine type Rs in ported box

If you can mention any other good amplifiers and subwoofers please and thank you

EDIT: or 2 kicker cvr 15s if they can fit?

1 kicker l7 15?

Two 10" tuned to 28hz HEADPHONES! OMG'eez.

I say try the two SD 2.5 12"s on the 1200d if you're set on that amp.

i can pick a diff amp as long as its not over the point where i would have to get new h/o alternator. any suggestions? maybe 1 kicker l7 15 and kicker amp?

Dude get the AQ1200. I have one, there awesome. Get 2 Obisidian audio 12 D4s(there in stock right now, but they go fast lol) and run that AQ1200 to it. No need to upgrade anything but maybe do the big 3 depend on the alt in your new car. Make sure who ever does your box knows there stuff, that will be the biggest factor really. Build to spec, my box is a lil larger 2.2cu net vs 1.75-2cu but it sounds SOOOO good. Im tuned for 33Hz and have very good range and SQL over all. sound great, gets loud, and HAMMERS anything 26-55Hz

I ran 2 12" SDC's off a 1200D for most of the summer. Only metered it once, did a 141.9 and it was respectably loud to the ear and very musical. Oldest son put that set up in his CR-v and did a 42.9 playing music. He's been very happy with it and only has a 70a alt and an extra batt in back.

Only heard 1 OA set up, it was a 15", was impressive on the lows off around 750watts, but not overly loud. Was a soft top jeep though....

Since you have experience with the SDC's would you reccomend those over 1 HDC-15? and where did you get the box done if you dont mind me asking

They build you custom subwoofers. Honestly I would hit up SPLAudio on here for a custom sub. He has great customer service and a great price too. Bought a sub from him and loved it!

Is this still going on the deal? I would love to buy them. Do you think they are better than 1 HDC 15...? cause instead of that i can have 2 12s and ported box for 389! Would they be louder than the 15? What amp should i get with these? under 400 preferably under 300
