Better than everyone
well i bought myself a kicker 400.1 and an infinity kappa perfect 12.1D to get myself started and within 2 months goodbye to mr perfect. I got it off ebay for like 130 so it wasnt bad and ive got infinity to replace it for free which is very surprising, but now ive got a few questions:
1: im the kind of person who cant make up their mind in sq and spl areas so i need a good mix, the one 12.1d doesnt really fulfill my needs with spl, would the cm3 do any better?
2: since its a dual vc i could only wire in 2 of the 12.1d to show a 4ohm load meaning
200 watts output to the 2 subs, its not even close to the respected rms rating would i see an increase in spl over my one sub running at 2ohm with 400 watts?
3:stupid question but would it be better to face the sub to fire towards the back seat of does it matter, i know the whole low frequency talk but lets face it a speaker facing towards me gives more sound right?
lastly, all in all is the cm3 better than the 12.1D? dont wanna be blowin more vc's
