Gold Member Username: Cenus420 , 420 420 Post Number: 2054 Registered: Jan-05 | ya the mag was the first sub that came to mind, the only thing is that i haven't heard to many reviews about it, but if its as good as you and alter say it should be one badass sub. how would it compare to the other subs listed in spl and sq, and also are you on the low-hz forum, i joined but can't log on for some reason, thanks for the response. |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 101 Registered: Feb-06 | As far as overall SQL goes most would agree the mag is the best out of those subs. Subs like the DD ones, will get louder and have more powering handling than the mags, but can't compete at all in the SQ compartment. And the mag is by no means a low output sub. A pair of 12's can hit in the mid 150's, which is a LOT of output. Also, here is a review from another forum. Check out the guys credentials. He has tested a few subs in his time. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169073&highlight=SI And I am on the Low-Hz forum. Sometimes the forum is weird with different browsers. |

Gold Member Username: Cenus420 , 420 420 Post Number: 2055 Registered: Jan-05 | thanks for the info showrides, i'll definately steer my friend in the direction of the mag, the vid was very nice to. what size of box would you recommend, i was thinking 3-4cf tuned to 35hz would that be good or a little bit lower tune. |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 104 Registered: Feb-06 | single mag 12: 2.5 cuft 20 sq inches of vent 16" long or 2 4" areo's 21" long If you don't have the room for that, go 1.5 cubes tuned to around 32Hz, and it will sound great. |

Gold Member Username: Cenus420 , 420 420 Post Number: 2059 Registered: Jan-05 | ya i'll just tell my friend about all the pros and cons of each sub then let him deciede, im pretty sure any sub mentioned would be a step up from the cvr's i just wanna make sure he gets the right one so he doesn't have to buy a different one in a couple of months. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 8647 Registered: Jul-05 | just something i remember reading on DD forum - a 9500 can handle @ least 2000wrms with ease so u should rule it out with ur amp . A guy on another forum im on has a 9515 with a crossfire amp putting 2000wrms on it & he wants 2 get a bigger amp cause he realised it can handle more , guys on DD forum put 3000/4000wrms daily on a 9500 So from i read a DD 3515 will be better suited 2 handle ur amp's power even though these subs can handle 2000wrms also but 1200 will be a good daily driver ... |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 105 Registered: Feb-06 | That is just one more reason why the mags would work better. They are very efficient drivers and with 1200rms your friend would get full output out of them. The DD subs will get super loud, but you need a small powerplant to get them moving to full excursion. |

Gold Member Username: Cenus420 , 420 420 Post Number: 2061 Registered: Jan-05 | ya i knew they could take more power but just threw them in there anyway, really only the mag, tc9, re sx, and treo ssi had an rms rateing close to 1200watts, the rest really need more power. |
