Ok here goes....i want to get 2 twelves for my maxima...i want to know about how much 2 12's with an amp generally weighs...the reason i want to know is because i have my car lowered 2" with sprints...i got the back springs cut 1 coil for a more even drop...what do you guys think about the 2 12's?

thanks a lot,

MoDiddy

 

What model subs and amp do you want...the weight differences can be marked from the weights of the magnet on the subs, make and dimensions of the box, and size of the amp.

Just for comparison, all my stuff weighs me down an estimated 100 lbs

 

definately depends on the equipment.. there are 10lb subs & 70lb subs...

 

WELL...I WAS LOOKING ON EBAY AND I THINK THE SUBS WERE AUDIOBAHN...NOT SURE OF THE MODEL..AND NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF AMP I NEED..I DONT REALLY KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT AUDIO EQUIPMENT...BTW THE SUBS WERE 1200 W EACH I BELIEVE.

 

dual voice coils?

depends on how big those magnets are. also, take into consideration the weight of the box

 

Yep, the box can have as much variety in the weight as teh actual subs. When you order the subs the shipping package will likely have the weight on it somewhere. I just shipped two diamond audio macdaddy 12" subs and the weight of the box was 55.1 pounds. That was for both subs. So you could call 30 lb's average for a 12 and say it can vary by 29 to 200 lbs each.

 

ok here is what the add says..maybe you can tell me how much it wieghs...2200 WATTS EACH SUB 1 BID=2 SUBS COME WITH 1 YEAR WARRANTY! NOT RETURNED, NOT REFURBISHED ~ BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED!

They sell them at Crutchfield. They should be able to figeure out the shipping weight. Just go to the crutchfield web site and look up those subs. But 10-20 lbs here or there won't make or brake the suspension. If you have performance springs they should be stiffer than factory springs anyway.
