Thanks for the quick reply! :)
Yeah I'm looking for a very loud sub but with acceptable SQ for a daily driver, and at lower volume aswell.
Bill has suggested a Shocker Extreme 15", what do u guys think??
A guy on ecoustics with 2837posts said: 'a shocker xtreme would be comparable a DD3500 series, i'd say in a good box with plenty of power easily do low 140's'.
EDIT: Just seen this swimmerdude -

oh yea.... that Execution is a gen2. Good woofers, but the ones Bill can sell for cheap are the gen3's.... overall it is a little bit of a better sub.
I have no idea what that Shocker can do.... so no input from me on that. All i can say is that MT's and BTL's are used a lot for loud daily setups. But for more sq out of the sub, i would go with a Execution. And Bill tested out a gen3 ex vs. a fully loaded BTL and the ex was slightly louder with the power you want to give it. Bill got a 12" gen3 ex to do a 146? with around 4k to it. With my 15" gen3 ex, i do 142's with 1.5k and i know it can get louder with the new box i have been waiting to put in.

Shocker's were quite a heavy hitter about a decade ago, so If you can find one in good shape used... it'll serve your needs well :)

Okay Bill I'll give ya credit on this one... even if when Shockers were some of the hardest hitters on the planet, you were watching your first pube grow

Bill never mentioned the Execution at all!???

That's cause you were talking about a $750 budget...
When you account for the sub, amp, wiring, box, possibly new alt, and batteries... it would take you well over that $750 with the Series 3 Executions Bill has.

The $750 I mentioned is for sub(s) and enclosure alone! I have money for the rest of the system. :)
How much power would I need for an Execution gen.2 or 3???
I've just been recommened:
1 15" HD3 and one 2500d
2 DD1008s off of 400 rms each have hit mid 140s in the right box of course
