What are some good subwoofer brands and amps?
Kicker, Pioneer, Kenwood, MA Audio are only mainstream brands. certain subs that those companies make are pretty good but wont compare to many brands that are being made. personaly i think the best brands are Fi Audio, Incriminator Audio, Accendant Audio, Digital Designs, RE Audio. they have the best cones, coils, motors, magnets and other things that are crutial in good sub woofers. you should look into those brands. they are a bit pricy but VERY good products
Audiopipe TXX BD-15 Vs Sundown E-15?
When I first saw this question I thought it would be an obvious tilt toward the SD, but in looking at the two subs I'm not so sure. The power ratings are significantly different, but that can be accounted for on the assumption the AP is over-rated and the SD is conservatively rated. X-max is basically the same... Honestly - If SPL is your thing I don't see enough difference in the specs to be able to predict one way or the other w/o just guessing. Assuming you found them at about the same price I would probably trust SD more than AP. Especially if you're planning to stick with this set up for more than a few months.
Orion hcca 12" or 2 sundown sa 15's?
The pair of 15's will kill the single 12 for loudness, no question. The sound quality of any subwoofer setup is 80% box- 20% subwoofer. As long as you are willing to give up the room for the box, I would go with the sundown's.
What are some good subwoofers? Maybe top brand and models?
ignore the guys talking about kicker.... the L7 is loud but sounds like total crap .... (cvrs are shitty as well ) your looking into a w7 .... and tthe reason the W7 is so pricey is because it is built for sound quality... but i wouldnt buy a w7 ..... i had a mtx 9500 and it absolutly raped the w7 in overall bass and sounded real good doing it ...... people mentioned digital designs and there great but very power hungry . FI audio (you can get a single fi btl and youd love it ) sundown audio ( i just bought an SA and its very impressive for the 160 i paid (retails 195 ) this sub makes an L7 look like a peice of garbage ... dc sound labs incriminator audio skar audio addictive audio accendant audio ssa audio american bass ( very good for the price ) many more companies out there w7 is just too overpriced .... alpine type x honestly isnt that good... i like the type r better ... if you get a sundown SA youll be impressed with both spl and sql .. if you get a pair and proper amp that would be awsome google ssa store

Orion HCCA vs Sundown Nightshade?
honestly none of those subs will dissapoint that is for sure. i highly reccomend the Fi BTLs. They will hit hard AF! and last. The Orion HCCA will hit hella hard in the right enclosure but not last as long as the FI Btl. so its up to you. i would reccomend using youtube to watch demos, ect. This is a must see for the orion HCCA's and is what really got me intrested in them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtRz52n1v...
Louder 12 inch subwoofer than Rockford Fosgate Power HX2 (daily driver)?
I am thinking about buying a new 12" subwoofer. I have a Rockford Fosgate Power Series HX2 tied 1 ohm to a T10001bd (birth sheet said ~1500w at 1ohm) currently. I am thinking about getting a FI BTL but what else would be louder? I want to upgrade not go down. Also, price is not an option, and I am probably going to buy a new amp too. When I get a new car (within the next year) I'd rather upgrade at that time instead of finding out later I missed an oppurtunity, otherwise i will just transfer my current setup to the new car.
Alpine Type X or Kicker L7's?
I'm on a budget and am interested in temporarily getting one of these set ups: 2 Alpine Type X (SWX-1243D) 12" subs or 2 Kicker L7 solobaric subs. I have heard of the better competition brands and such, such as diamond, rainbow, ssa, sundown, fi, orion, dc audio, image dynamics, and the list goes on and on. I'm NOT interested in those brands right now because I DON'T have that kind of money and i'm only 18. My last sub set up was Pioneer's Pro Champion series. So, hypothetically, between these two subs, which one would you choose and WHY? JUST BETWEEN THESE TWO SUBS PLEASE!!! ( don't need your favorite other brand or whatever; don't care; these two subs only). Thank You.
