Thanks! The skar is out of my $ range and I heard the obsidian tends to smell and I can't see it topping an SA-12 for the money. By that I mean, I think the SA will cost me about 5 dollars more and from what I read they are pretty similar. The fight seems to be between the: Dcon, SDC2.5 and...

I just got an amp that does 340@4ohms and 570@2ohms. Now I need to pick a sub. I want to do a single sub. I've narrowed it down to a few. My budget is $150. I listen to a lot of rap when I drive so I want something can handle lows but also classic rock. When it comes to SPL or SQ. Neither one is...

I'll be running ported. prob build so the box is like 2.5 cubes at 30hz.

thanks for modeling them! I think I'll get the dcon or possibly the new I series from incriminator. they both offer a 15 though. would u then suggest going with a 15 if I could fit it being I'm running lower power?

Yeah. I'm crossing at that point not only using the sub for that small gap. Reason I'm crossing that high is I'm only running a front stage and I'm not sure the front components can handle lower than 100hz.

****. those id8's sounds like a good idea. okay. I'm between the dcon 12 and the ID8s. I'm looking for something that can get reasonably low as well as high. I plan to cross my subs at 100-120hz. which do u think are best for my goals and music taste.

I know the SDC and SA can take over powering. My issue is, wont I be under powering them? With only 500rms I feel that wont rly be enough to bring them to life.

I'm getting a kicker ZX500.1 amp from a guy a work for a great deal. In the mean time I want to get a sub. I listen to mostly rap but some rock is mixed in. I've filtered it down to three, AQ SDC 2.5, SA-12 (used for 160), Dcon. I'm leaning towards the Dcon since I can over power it. Wont that...

anyone else have input? seems 50/50 at this point. While I know sundown is solid, im just not sure if those 8's will give good sq or be able to handle the music I like. I know the SA8's can but these Idk.

I'm building a budget setup and I need help deciding. I want to run under 500 watts rms for the sub(s) since this car is tiny and the stock electrical is weak. I listen to a 40/60 split of rap/indie rock. So I'm looking for a musical sub that can handle lows reasonable. I currently own a Kicker...

prob not worth the hassle. I'll just buy new or wait for a better deal. The case screws worry me also, makes me think he messed with it.

So.... check to see if RCAs are loose. Check for signs of burning around power and ground terminals. Look and smell for burnt wire Look for dents

Found someone selling a used 08 Kicker amplifier on craigslist. They asked to meet on saturday at an autozone. What should I look for before buying this thing? He said it works fine and everything, besides a small crack by where you put the screw to mount the amp, as well as 2 screws missing...

^^ your gif makes my computer freeze every time (haterz gon hate lol) Thanks guys, I guess I'll spring for one. I just dont want something that will break easily or constantly be going into protect. when all you guys say its "not great" what do you mean by this? Obviously its gonna be good for...

Have any of you used this amp or read anything about how it is. I know the Onyx series is their top brand and is apparently a very solid amp, but what is the deal with this one? They are only around 110 for 600rms at 2 ohms. I dont want to buy one though and have it break or deal with major...
