    Newbie question here, but assuming you have an amp with sufficient power (RMS) to power a sub at 2 ohms, does it put less strain on your vehicles electrical if you wire your amp @ 2 ohms instead of 1 ohm? I, currently, have an Orion 2500.1 & I'm looking to add a single sub (12 inch) to it & if I can put less strain on my electrical, I'll purchase the dvc 4 ohm version instead of the dvc 2 ohm version. I'm currently considering the Audiopipe TXX-BDC4, Skar EVL, & the American Bass XR-12. I'd greatly appreciate your input.

    @BudgetBassHead I purchased the EVL kit (12" Sub/Box/RP2000.1D) and Im upgrading to the RP3500.1D Amp, would there be a noticeable difference if I upgraded the subs to the 12" Skar VXF subs? They use the same ported enclosure dimensions and seem like they would be better performers, Im asking you because you own them both. Could you do a test between the EVL and the VXF in the same 2.0 cu box?

How would it compare to a skar svr or well I guess I cant buy an sa because they are out of stock everywhere t . But I'm stuck at 1.8 ft ported box . And I have big three upgrade but no hi output alt or extra battery . 4 guage wiring all around . Best battery I could buy at auto zone lol. I will upgrade my amp if needed I have a prime 500 is all .

    I love my Skar EVL-18s. For the price... You Can Not Beat It. I constantly play down to 15hz without any hiccups. But for my next set of subs I'm either going: Sundown NSV4-18 FI Car Audio BTL Neo-18 RE Audio XXX-18 RE Audio MX-18 I'm torn between those three Brands, and 4 subs. As you can see from the list I like a long throw subwoofer. 2.5"+ in XMAX or more, which is needed for 20hz and down clarity. Granted NONE of these subs are budget friendly for four of them. It will be as cheap as $2400 or as high as $4800. You gotta pay to play hard

    This is great info . However I dont see me putting 3 amps in my car plus whatever else it takes to run 3 amps to achieve 1 subwoofer in my trunk . I have done a big three upgrade . But I have a stock alternator and the most expensive battery I could get at auto zone . I also have a .5 Farrad. Which does help with headlight dimming. I have a 500/1 rf prime amp . And the jl audio dual 12" sub wedge . The box only has 1.75 cube feet for each 12. How am I gonna get better results ? Should I get jl audio w3 instead of w0 ? Someone help me . I have 4guage wiring. I willing to buy another amp but I dont want to remove the 4 guage wiring because i have an ef civic and dont want to push my electric system to a breaking point the battery is small. I'll buy a bigger farrad to . What is next move here ?

Don't get me wrong I tried many other brands and they sound great and I do have other brands of car audio in many different vehicles that I have. But I recently tried sundown and they could handle some power.

I can tell you first hand that the VXF will beat the L7 any day of the week.
