what subs should i get?

Recommended Posts

okay i need helping finding the best sub/ subs for me. heres what i have so far:

Sundown Audio SAE 1200D

2.2 cuft max box area

6.5" mounting depth is the max i can get for the subs

$350 price range overall

my goals are to get something that is loud but also sounds good.

im leaning towards 1 10" Fi BL with cooling and flatwind coil. but does anybody else have any recommendations? Thanks

Why not get you a DC level 4. You could get a 10 or 12 and have a good loud sub that sounds good.

12 is too big... and i think the 10" Bl with the options would be louder than the dc lvl 4

Terrible recommendation.

If someone asks for loud they really want the BL in the Fi line. There is a huge misconception that Sound Quality means "sounds good" which of course by nature it does, but at the expense of loud. A smooth frequency response has no peaks which means that you are leaving many dB's on the table. When a poster requests loud more than 99% of the time the peakiness of a ported sub like the BL will still sound good and regularly would sound much better than a Q in an ideal enclosure to them.

Seems logical, I'd finish the box plans before ordering though.

Why not 2 DC Audio Level 2 10s?

Mounting depth is under 6" and requires 0.7 cubes per sub ported and are rated together at 600wrms\1200wpeak.

You properly set up your amp and this would be a very nice choice.
