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

REDFIVEO

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)
