the 12 inch delima....

[kingsham 0]

A single 12 setup would be the best option spacewise in my trunk and help me achieve the goal of LSQ....lol.

I found a box that fits the criteria within the recommended specs for each woofer

http://cgi.ebay.com/12-RE-AUDIO-SE-ENCLOSU...1QQcmdZViewItem

the box is 2 cu. ft. tuned to 32 hz.... which is within the recommended enclosures for each woofer as i have previously stated. Yes this box is in essence prefab...but its properly built. I dont feel like building a box myself...someone can build me one for cheaper than i can get this one w/ shipping.

Here are the contenders...

SSA Icon 12 $249.00

Fi SSD 12 $189.00

RE Audio SE 12 $172.49

AA Arsenal 12 $175.00

any others in this price range?

keep in mind my criteria are:

ability to play in the 25-40 hz range with ease and clarity

punchiness....

loudness..or the ablity to impress when i feel neccessary

Sound quality(clarity, fidelity)

Blend w/ the frontstage(that is install dependent as well though)

PRICE....im in high school on a budget!

I want your opinions and disadvantages and advantages of each woofer. Why you would or would not purchase the woofer.

Thanks

Sham

12" sub and a true 1000wrms amp for under $500? you could actually fit the 15" version and amp in under your $600 budget.
