I am prolly selling my Kicker Cvr's so i want to get some new subwoofers. I want to get something loud but sound good doing it. Maybe something that is loud enough that i can take to a spl competition just for fun. I wanna get probably 2 15's and no more than 450 for them. I will probably have them on 600rms each prolly by a Hifonics Bxi1206D

I am found some subs that have been recommended as sql subs.... what do you guys think would be the loudest? Any others i should look at?

Diamond Audio D6
RE SE
Ascendant Aresnal (12's because of cost)
Dayton Titanic MKIII
Oz Audio Matix Elite

man i dont know....600 to a 15"? if you dont have the amp or subs yet why not look into a single 15, ported, with at least 1000 watts going to it? best bet imo is to figure what your total investment for the amp sub set up will be and go from there....youll be able to get a better sub and maybe more power too

I am limited on expenses because over 1000rms, i am prolly going to need a new alt... right. I also want to eventually get components and an amp for them so i dont want to spend a ton on just subs. well.... this will be going into an explorer so i could port 2 15's but something like one 15" RE SX would be louder than 2 15" RE SE's?? or say Ascendant Havoc compared to two arsenals.... i would think that if i went with 2 15's ported they would be louder than 1 15 ported even though its a better sub/more watts to it because of 30" of displacement compared to 15"???

the SE would work very well for what you're after.
You pretty much defines that sub's target demographic.

hmmm.... out of curiosity.... how do you think one Adire Brahma in a good ported box with 600-800 rms to it compare to my two kicker cvr's sealed or 2 SE's ported??

Would compare good if they are available and if you have better luck than scarell did with his Tempest...

Speaking of displacement I advise you read my article on it in the FAQ. If you want to talk in displacement its good to know what your talking about.

BTW just because you have 2 15's doesnt mean that a single 12 couldnt have more overall displacement...



Read up boy

ok.... so i didnt know there was a formula and now i do.

Yea, just know the formula does not equate to "which is loudest".

And that with a ported box, you may as well throw linear displacement out the window if you don't have the power to utilize it.

2 15s will put you in a very high class and you will get your ass handed 2 you your best bet is to go single 12 or even 2 10s
