IMO, you'd be a little louder with one power HX2 ported off of your 1200.1 compared to 2 HE2's sealed.

I love the feeling of knowing your stuff just set an alarm off. i cant tell you how many times i have set them off.

a funny story i set the same persons car alarm off 4 days in a row!! not on purpose
all i could do was laugh.
seriously though i know how u feel when u set one off. Most of the time you cant tell because you hear your system and not the car alarm

Really?
I thought about doing that but a friend of mine told me that 2 subs have more cone than 1, since would be louder? [Confused]
Also, how big of a ported box would 1 Power HX2 required, and how much power?
Thanks for your suggestion LegitPoundin.

i don;t know the cubes but one power 15 will take two bd1500 so i would say around 3000-3500. i set my first car alarm off today wiht a hevey metal song in the kick drum hit and the alarm went off i was like what the f*ck and then i was like cool. i know with two pwoer 15's and 4 bd1500 there is a guy hitting above 154. in a truck. so something to think about.

Just curious- Why would 154's be difficult in a truck? That dosen't seem so outrageous to me. I did a 151.3 legal with 4 EQ 12's and 2 Punch 800a2's in my supercab '01 F-150 and I want 155's.

yeah i just set on off today that was about 50-100 feet away, it was pretty funny actually, cause some guy drove up beating for like a minute really hard and the alarm finnaly went on. then i turned mine on a little while later and it went starting going off like 2 seconds after mine dropped.

parking garages are the best, you can easily get 4 - 5 each on different levels

The greatest thing ever... But since it is Winter I dont play it that loud..... Cant wait till spring and summer.... [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!]

setting off alarms is fun especially when you don't expect it. once it starts going off and you hear it you're like "was that me" and once you realize that yes it was indeed your beats setting off the alarm you just start chuckling.

parking garages are definitely the best, its fun to hear the echo

I went to this car show and couldn't find a parking slot so I got impatient and cranked it up. I must have set 4 that day. all with only one 12" and 300watts.

well I would say that real loud low frequencies would cause alarms to go off.
