Help me pick a pair of 12s

Recommended Posts

I need help picking a pair of 12s for sealed operation. It'll be power by a JBL 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms. I want a pair of 12s that'll hit hard and sound good sealed with about 500 watts to each. I had a pair of Orion HP 12s and liked them alot but I blew one and I'm looking to upgrade. So far I like the look of and am thinking of a pair of Audiopulse Epic 12s in dual 2 ohms or Fi SSD 12s depending on how efficient they are. Any other suggestions? I'm looking for a pair of 12s that'll get louder than and sound better than the Orions. Preferrably a pair of efficient 12s. :puzzled:

I want a pair of subs that'll sound clean and hit hard sealed. As for my budget I'de spend up to like 280 per sub. I'm actually thinking of maybe a pair of JL Audio W3v3 13.5s.

I'd say the W6v2 compares very favorably to either the SSD or Q :)

id look at some IDQs

he used the word "hit" in his description of subs. IMO that means no IDQ, no w6v2, nowhere near an sq sub. He wants something that is peaky :(

1 12 BL might "hit"

And would do "ok" off that power.

o yeah with a nice box... tuned well,

i dont know much about that amp.. but if its a tru 1100 watts, it maybe a little underpowed imo but it will sound nice.

what kinda caR?

Ok, let me take hit out of there then, lol. I want a pair of subs that'll get loud and sound good. I'm really leaning towards a pair of Audiopulse Epic 12s sealed. I'de of gotten a pair of SS RL-i 12s if they were still available.

1k is perfectly fine for a BL, everyone just thinks they HAVE to throw more on them, the RMS IS stil 1k on them.

reason for selling due too wanting the new line of ssa that hopefully will come out seeing marks prototypes and the out put they did making me horny over them so yea. nothing wrong with 412's but 2 18's and 2 3000 D's sounds sexy too. plus we wanna redo my box build anyways might as well go with 18's :)

I know, the max i can get in my single cab f150 is 2.60 cu feet. enough for 1 12" with the opt. enclosure, enough for 2 12" with minimum, or 2 10" with the right size enclosure for 2 of them, also i dont want to know how big and long the port would need to be. 2 3" ports(i know its not big enough) i believe was like 50" long EACH, ouch. and i wont go sealed, tried it, not enough bass for my tastes.
