Which 12"?

[Sabbs]

Need some input on which subs to get. My budget is $400 for 2 12". I have a soundigital 2.5k(1ohm version) to power them. I looked around and found these so far. Looking for a daily sub with decent sound quality. I play mostly rebass artist and sometimes w/e on Pandora.

American Bass XFL 12

FU Audio 750

SQ HDS3.112

Alphard Audio hannibal-fx

fu or ab., fu plays low even tuned kinda high so if u want low i'd say fu.. xfl takes little bigger box from what peeps say sine u will have 2 if u have room for 4.5 or more cf u can get the ab is u wanta stay 3.4- 4cf get the fu.. other option for that $ is fu 1250 15, nice cone on those things..

is that because of power? i was looking at xfl d2 cheaper than d4 for some reason..

Can the FU 750 take more than 1.5k daily? Does coil size matter? From the site it seems like a buffed 2.5 coil. I have a 03 acura cl so i guess the xfl are a no go?

no i wouldn't run 1500 to a 750.. 1500 or so to a 1250 sure..

Yea the 1250 would be a great option but out of budget. Just not sure if i have the trunk space for the xfl to sound ok.

I'm running a 18 in 7.5 net. In my Acura TL trunk. And I'm pretty sure the CL is bigger. So you should have plenty of room for 2 12s.

Dude I don’t even know how U can be giving advice... that fu woofer u have isn’t even being used close to its potential, you say it plays low but yet u prly don’t even know what low is. Low is like20- 15hz and actually playing it,... and just because U have the FU in one box you think that’s the way it sounds, you could build a different box and it could be a totally different sounding woofer. It’s annoying reading all the bad advice you give people

Clean power yes, I’ve ran four SA woofers on a dc 7.5k daily with no problems, and have had plenty of friends who have done he same... 2.5k amp will be nice on two SA 12s,

I had an fu 750 15 on a ppi 1800 in 5 cubes net. Seemed to handle it no problem.

On 2500W... but because they say "Sundown" on the dustcap they can take triple rated power all day every day.
