He fit a 22 in a Lumina? That's awesome. Im not sure if this is the guy im thinking of but is he in Iowa? Theres a guy in iowa that had a jackhammer in his lumina a guy that i know knows him if its the guy in iowa i forget his name.

Alrite so ive compiled a list of subs some from ssa others not ssa dcon, ssa icon, ssa xcon, fi q, fi bl, rockford t1 or t2 and possible others.

Hi im looking for input on what I should put in my car for a system. I have a 2009 ford focus ses 4dr with sync so I will be using an req signal restorer. Right now i have a pair of focal access 570ca1's which will be going in the back doors then most likely a set of components for the fronts. I want a system that can really hit the lows. I have been looking at several subs like rockford 12t2d2 or a jl 13 w7 but cant decide between either or if I should just go with something like a 12 fi bl. I am looking at all these subs because they all have an rms of around 1000 watts and I dont think my car will be able to keep up with much more than a 2 channel and a 1000 watt mono. I will probably be looking at using either jl or rockford amps.

What kind of 12 did you think? I have about 39 inches of width 17 in height and max depth is 23 up top and 30 on bottom i beleive.

not really mostly just for the fact that if it ever goes dead they can be hard to recharge but the redtop can have the same problem i suppose even though its not deep cycle.

Ya very good point.

Really you dont have a dimming problem at that much what do you think i could squeeze in that tiny trunk of my car a 15 at biggest probably depending on the box size needed? I really like rockfords amps and really like re and fi subs just torn about what to go with or to go down a totally differant road with a sub.

ok that works ya when i said that i kind of thought duh its kind of hard to compare i just want something that gets loud without falling out you could say on some low notes and being able to play them halfway decent because the w7s cant really the rf t2s can thats why i was leaning towards rf more. thanks for the help i appreciate it.

ya im not sure when i will get a truck and if its even gonna be a pickup or an suv. So what could a person compare a ssa icon to in terms of how loud they can get in a ported box? What have people seen for numbers with just one sub?

Alrite ya i may be able to just get by for now as i dont plan to keep this long in 2 or 3 years i will probably be switching to a truck or suv as sometimes i need to tow and cant with this car. Then it will be a whole new deal when i get a truck. What kind of amps would you recommend? gotta go to school and talk with my buddy but we might be purchasing some subs real soon hopefully.

the ssa icon 12 looks like it mite be the sub ive been looking for but first i need to figure out my whole power ordeal and what i should do or if i should look for a lower power sub and amp? My alt is most likely only about 90 amps im not for sure though.

Alrite a budget im probably going to be looking at around $1500 to $2000 (preferibly more towards 1500) as i dont want to spend to much money on it for my first system but I think deal or no deal I can get good stuff for that price range.

ya they are supposedly a less known company that is geared towards high quality and power. the only places ive really ever seen the amps used are with focal audio stuff as i beleive they have the same distributor.

I am prepared to do a big 3 maybe add a red top up front in factory spot and an xs power or stinger battery in back but as for an alternator I cant find one for an 09 any suggestions? As for a budget im not sure as i work at a shop but im prepared to venture off and go non mainstream in search of something new.

If you came here, why dont you give the SSA store a look? You can find a lot of companies in the manufacturers section also that have great subs and amps. Give the mainstream a break for a while. I was kind of looking at going steg amps they seem pretty nice but havent seen them used very much.

I was googling fi subs for more info on them and how a jl w7 compares to them and came across ssa. After browsing a little i have to say this site is has an awesome setup and im happy to be here.

Hi Im new here to ssa but not new to car audio. Came here in search of learning more and expanding my knowledge.
