Someone on this site suggested to check out fi audio. I did and I am interested in the ssd 12. It is decent price. I am just wondering what people think of fi and what the heck is bp power optoin and should I get it.

 

I just use normal wood glue and brad nails, and usually a double baffle so I can flush mount the subs. You shouldn't have to worry about bracing if you're only using 2 10s or 12s.

 

What do you mean by double baffle? Is that like taking a router to the sub cut out? I think that I will just use wood glue and 1.5 inch screws every 6 inches or so. That should be fine I figure.

 

Double baffle is 2 layers of wood where the subs are going to be mounted.

 

I see now how that would work to make the subs flush mounted. I can't do that though as I need all the space I can get. Good idea for the future though.

 

I have had kicker I think there stuff pounds good.

 

Get the Kickers. I have 2 kicker L7's and they are sick. i used to have r types and they are good but they blew up when it came to really high power handling

 

honestly, my opinion is if you want sound quality go for the alpines , if you wanna get crazy loud go for kicker

 

two type r's

 

If you are going to go type R's I would consider getting JBL Power series P1222's they will pound well in a 3.5cube box, they'll safely take 800rms a piece and mine have been going strong for 2 years and I've never had one smell like a burning piece of Alpine VC

(one of those 2 12's was accidentally dropped 4 feet onto concrete, broke the magnet and had the pole piece shift, a few days later I tapped it with a rubber mallet, re-aligned the pole and could move the cone in and out with no apparent rubbing, I then took some epoxy and coated my cracked magnet, that was last summer and it is still going)
