Looking into getting a new head unit and want to get a digital reciever. Does anybody already have one and how do you like it? I havent bought a CD in i dont kow when and listen to my Ipod more than the radio, so losing the CD playback wont be a problem to give up. They all have the same basic features that i am looking for with the main difference being with the Sony's Ipod tray. Looking at the : Kenwood KIV 901BT Sony DSX S300 BTX Pioneer MVH P8300BT Want to know how easy they are to use, and any dislikes you may have. thanks,

ending getting 2 sundown SA12 and waiting on the enclosure, but i believe i will use the dual ported enclosure for a SSA xcon which is a 4 cu ft box touned to 30 hertz. looking forward to hearing them soon!

10-4 Thanks again.

I will be building my first ported box soon and was wondering about port location? I will be using a box design that i found on SSA website for 2 Sundown SA 12's with a kicker ZX1000.1 at a 2ohm load. See the link..... 12" DUAL PORTED 4.0 ft^3 t 30 hertz My link My question is , If i use this box and move the port to the outside but leave it at the same end will it change the tuning, i would think so but not sure. Sorry if i this is a stuipid question but as i said this will be the first ported enclosure that i have owned/built. I plan on the subs firing upwards on top of the enclosure and will be pushing the box close to my rear seat. Hope i gave enough info. thanks in advance,

Thanks everybody for your sugggestions and comments. As i posted earlier i did purchase 2 SA 12's and looking forward to hearing them soon.

Both of my boys do as they are driving and nothing seems to be cooler than my 17 year old beating up the school parking with the biggest truck intown. Guess its good i live in a small town. Its been a really good truck and has served my family very well, 250,000 plus trouble free miles. When we out grew it instead of selling i gave it a second life and used as a project for me a kids to work on. The up graded audio is just one of the several on going upgrades and rebuilds this truck is getting.

thanks everybody for your thoughts as yall have been very helpful - looks like i am gonna have my first ported box, seems only fitting as this will be the first time i have used Sundown also.

Need to hit all of the Sundown owners up to what boxes you have used. Ihave 2 SA 12's that i will be running at a 2ohm load off a Kicker ZX1000.1. Ihave always had sealed boxes and thought that they were better for SQ and the lower bass notes. I am open to suggestions as i have NEVER used one of these subs before. If i should go ported what should it be tuned to and how many cubic ft for 2? If sealed should i use poly fill and if so how much and how many cubic ft for 2? Any reference material or you tube videos you can link me to would be great. thanks guys.

Went with Sundown SA 12's. it was a money thing, i could get 1 Fi SSD or 2 sundowns........ So it wasnt easy but did it.

thanks, i have been researching alot and bit the bullet and purchased 2 on the 10th

Gonna order 2 SA 12's on Monday and hope for the best, i do like the looks of the FI but for the money i dont think i can go wrong.

when i was younger i had 2 MTX Blue Thunders running off a Rockford amp, with out a doubt on of the best systems i ever had. I switched to 2 Rockfrord pro series 12's and swear the MTX hit harder.

yea. kinda what i was thinking about running 2 SA 12's

Other than 5 five kids - got tired of seeing lifted pickups and wanted something different.

I have narrowed my search to a 12 sub to the either a single FI SSD or a Sundown SA 12. I plan on using a ZX 1000 at a 2ohm load in the back of a suburban. if you were in my shoes and needed a 12 sub to run in a sealed inclosure and had about 300.00 to spend on a sub which would you chose and why. Feel free to suggest other brands. thanks
