Subwoofer Recomendation Help

This case it's a vs. that's why I brought it up.

China or not, the W1 will work fine. Its not gonna fall apart because its not made in the US. The point is, it will work better with the lower wattage that he has in my humble opinion.

its incriminator audio, not ssa and my top recommendation was the sundown e series. I just put what I have experienced and the w1 is something i was not impressed with.

but the i sereis has a bigger motor with more motor force and higher xmax so more throw. but all in all the sundown e series would be my top pick for price per performance its basically not beatable.

what im saying is the sundown e 12 d4 with the kappa 5 channel would be the way to go and keep him at a 250 budget. also the 5 channel gives him more upgrade options and settings. the w1 will cost him 150 alone for a 10 inch

The $250 budget is just for the sub. Thanks for the product links though. I hadn't thought about a 5 channel amp.

What's your budget on amp and sub

What's your budget on amp and sub

I'd like to keep it around $600 for the sub and amp. This does not include the enclosure or any wiring.

Man you can get a nice 5 channel with a nice sub for that price. Even less.

Here's a sound quality oriented sub that can work well in 1 cubic feet sealed box.

Along with a proper 5 channel amp.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I had an IDQ in the past and never installed it. I may go that route because I was dissapointed that I never used it.

Right now I'm looking into the Flatlyne, TS2512, and the IDQ. All have great reviews. IDQ is the cheapest but we are talking about $50. I don't have a DD dealer nearby so they are definitely the hardest to get.

I think I'm going to go with the Precision Power P900.5 so the sub would be getting 440 watts.

I think I'm going to go with Hertz ESK's up front. They can handle 100W rms. That amp would give them 70.

I probably won't use the rear channels at this point. I'll probably just run the factory rear speakers off the deck for now. Maybe I'll drop in a set of coax back there.

I plan on keeping the factory head unit so that will be a problem. Not sure which route I'll go to hook up the amp yet.

Spend the money on a dsp then needed investment. Night and day jbl ms8 is the most user friendly
