Sundown Audio E Series v.4 12" D2 Car Subwoofer - 750W RMS / 1500W Peak, Dual 2-ohm Voice Coil, Optimized for Ported Enclosures, Deep Bass – E12v4D2

Should have gotten this in the beginning! I’ve heard of Sundown for many years but never tried it. Because I use a mini amp to power my front speakers, I don’t need a crazy powerful subwoofer. I’ve tried the 12” Alpine Type S (blew twice) and rocked the 12” Kicker Comp R (had it for two years with zero issues). The Alpine Type S is about as loud as this Sundown E-12. Kicker Comp R is also about as loud. But the Sundown subwoofer hits lower, has more endurance, and moves more air. These subs love ports, make sure to get a boxed tuned to 32hz. I feel so much air pushing out when I bump and the excursion is great. I can feel my entire driver seat vibrating when it hits and I have a ported box. I don’t need to upgrade at all, I am now content with the subwoofer. I was pairing it with the Kicker Key 500.1 but wired parallel at 1ohm, it heats the little Kicker Key up.. feels stressed out. I’ve upgraded to a Sundown SFB-1000D. Sub is now wired series at 4ohms for more efficiency, clarity, and less heat. The SFB-1000D is rated at 510W RMS for 4ohm. It sounds a bit cleaner (barely noticeable for casual listeners) but it’s definitely more efficient and less stress on my electrical system. I also did a big 3 upgrade. If you’re thinking about it, just buy it! Sundowns are the best for the money and easy to rebuild. I’m team Sundown and now I know why I’ve been hearing about Sundown for years.

Great Speaker. Nice deep clean bass. Does well in my 2015 Camaro 1 12 inch sub setup.

This kicks hard! No complaints so far. I mistakenly got dvc instead of svc so I’m operating at 300rms watts which is underpowered but it still hits hard. Don’t make my mistake, get the right voice coil configuration!

I bought this to replace an Alpine sub that I had had for years.. what a difference! The bas is so much clearer and hits a lot harder. I got the custom box to go with it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again. Hands down the best sub I've owned

Been doing a solid job for the 6 months I’ve had them and sound good. They also get good amount of bass with not much movement.

Amp that i bought from this seller was damaged but I tested the sun on a volt meter and it was perfect. Still working after I switched amps after about a month wired at 2ohms

I have this sub in a 1.4cu net sealed box (I know it's not recommended) pushed by an audiozerone ze500.1 at 1 ohm. This gets pretty loud for a sealed 12. I can only imagine what the recommended ported box would deliver.

Would have gave 5 stars but it is my first Sundown sub and the dust cap was poorly glued on , besides that seems ok , just bothers me to see that
