hey everyone, I'm looking to build my first system, and was wondering what some good 12" subs are. I know good brands used to be Alpine, and Kicker. But I've heard there are other brands dominating it now, like Sundown. So if anyone has suggestions on which subs/amp I should get that would be great. I am looking at about 400-600 for the subs/amp but I can go higher. Im looking at getting a custom box, as well as a head unit, but undecided on head unit.

on an sae1200d

 
If i got 2 SA 12's where would i get the SAE 1200d from. they discontinued it. Also what box would i want to look at for those subs?

 
I actually was just looking at the Skar VVX 12's lol. They are cheaper and I have seen people say very good things about them. But i know that subs are only as good as the box you put them in. So what type of a box should i look at for either the Skar or SA 12's

2-2.25 cubes per sub ported

 
kicker cvrs are great. plus you will save money on buying a box to put them in if you buy the subs in the factory box. these can be found for 400 bucks in fac box. pair those up with something like a hifonics brutus brz1200.1d and youve got yourself an awesome first system for right around 600 bucks

lol, i was never planning on it, i have read multiple things that people here said basically stay away from kicker now. they were good in the past, but have been taken over. I am looking at probably the Skar's as they are cheaper than the SA-12's, just need to find what amp i may want.

Budget for amp? Remember you have to do electrical upgrades too

Additinally, no need to reference "max" anything as those specs are useless. Most of know how to look at specs for a given speaker, amp, HU, etc...

That’s the little single 6.5 inch enclosure. The Savard did just as well as the RDS. These subs do well in ported or 6th orders but not as well...
