which 2-12s for 3-5k rms daily use

[chefzane]

All anyone around here runs that's loud is sundown and DD, don't get me wrong I'm from Oklahoma so spending cash with DD would bring money to my state I just don't like them, I know they both are some of the best and loudest but for that price I could build my solox 18 motors into 12" rounds with fuggin balls, but that's for later

American Bass I'm torn on I'll check them out more right now

You will not by any means be disappointed with American Bass, I'm running a single XFL 12" in a 7.85 cu. ft. Kerf ported box on 1200W RMS all in my trunk and it out-bumped 2 CVR's on 1200W RMS in a ported kicker box in the back of an SUV. Not only does it get loud as all hell but it sounds good with regular music too, can be punchy and tight on dubstep yet refined and clean on country. American Bass kicks a$$.

The American Bass subs really like the lows, too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You know my take, Chef. Hope you manage to get the IAs the way you want 'em. A dustcap swap should be no problem at all.

Yeah, it's huge and was custom built to fit perfectly in my trunk, which it does. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Yea so that's way off size wise for one twelve, that twelve hole would be a good window mount and put an 18 on the top or something but **** that's a waste of trunk

Hey, it sounds amazing and I love it. I can't put a 18 in there it is snug against the top of the trunk, not to forget a 18 will not be anywhere near as tight and clean as a 12 will. I understand it's way bigger than it needs to be but I love the shock factor when I tell people it's a single 12 in **** near 8 cu. ft.

Stop. Just stop. Please

What do you want explained ? How your wrong for thinking a 18" won't sound as good as a 12" ?

I've always heard SQ-wise a 18 will not be as punchy as smaller woofers but more boomy sounding.
