Which Reference to pick..........

[espguitarist91 10+ year member]

Well Im going to be buying soon and wanted opinions before i make a decision. Well I had originally planned to go with four decent and affordable 12's. I thought about it and thought i should go with two type-r's. Now I realized how awesome it would be to have four 12's. Still not sure though. The box for 4 12's would be sealed with the correct airspace for whatever driver i get. I can go with Memphis power referece series, Infinity reference 1240 or 1250 series. I can get 4 1250's from cardomain whos a dealer for $300, or 4 1240's unauthorized for $60 a piece. I was also looking at Pioneer ts-w306 and mtw thunder 4500's. I have a Hifonics 1606d, which is 1600w@1 ohm and 1100w@2 ohms.

Thanks for anyhelp.

Also how would four decent 12's sealed with 1600 watts compare to two R's ported @ 30hz with 800 watts a piece?

Well i was looking around and also found Clarion SW12X's. Ive never heard them, but im hoping someone else has and can say something about them. Im looking for mainly SQL, it looks like a fairly decent driver and is on sale at car domain right now.http://www.cardomain.com/item/CLASW12X

Trust me, if i had the money i would buy two Rl-p's right now. But i dont. Crutchfield has a sale, buy one get one free on the infinity perfects and the mtx 4500's. I think i might dish out the extra and get 4 perfects. That should be awesome. Ive heard theyre easy to blow though, but would 1600 watts be okay on 4, theyre rated at 350 a peicec? Mind you, 1600 watts from a hifonics 1606d, so i tthink theyll be fine, right?

Thanks

then just get 2 12" rl-i's for now, either that or just one rl-p why waste money? that one rl-p will take that amp, just tune the amp down a little and you'll be fine, and that one rl-p 15 if your looking at the 15's, will be louder than 2 infinity perfects, and it only costs bout 250 for one.....so whats the hold up?

Im talking about getting four, not two. But the perfects are a little too expensive. I think im going to go with 4 reference 1240's. I had one before sealed in 1 cu. ft. and it sounded awesome and got decently loud for one 12 sealed. Kicker Cvr's are pretty cheap on ebay too.
