I actually ended up waiting on purchasing another sub. I need to do a little more research before I order something new. For now I am just going to build two boxes for the subs I currently have and take it from there. I have an AB XFL 12 and old school (2005) 15 inch RE Audio SX that was reconed to PSI. The single 12 probably won't be enough for me, but I can get an idea if I want to run a single sub setup with the 15 I have. If it's not enough for me, then I can upgrade to a pair of 15's. If I run a single 15 it would be either an X, SA, XFL, FI Q or AA Havoc. If I run a pair then it would probably be some SA's or XFL's. Yeah, I keep hearing the same thing about the X which has steered me away a little.

Hmm... I have some learning to do lol

Do any of you guys know the difference between the old X and the Xv2? Just wondering what was changed.

Upgrading down the road if I have to, or want to add another sub won't be a problem. I just don't want to have to upgrade to another battery or HO alternator right now. I think I am probably just going to go with the X 15 or 18... If I don't like it I can sell it and get a pair of SA's.

Well maybe I'm not completely sure on my decision then. At least I am starting to figure out a little more what the pro's and con's from running each setup would be. Never thought about the fact that two SA's would equal more xmax than a single X. Obviously upgrading to a second X down the road changes everything, but also costs a hell of a lot more money, which could push upgrades to somewhere not too near in the future.

I think I am going to go the X route, just not sure if I want to get a 15 or 18. If I get an 18 and want to upgrade later on it will probably be a problem, but if I get a 15 I should have no problem when it comes to room -- just not sure I want to go that crazy with the electrical down the road. Anyone have an opinion on what coil configuration I should get? These are my options at the moment for power until I can save up for a better amp... Earthquake ph5000w - 1500 watts x 1 into 4 ohms, 3000 watts x 1 into 2 ohms. I find it hard to believe this amp does rated, but it did push my RE SX 15's pretty well for a while. The electrical was upgraded at the time. Viper d1200.1 - 1200 watts x 1 into 1 ohm, or I can strap both for 2400 watts

Yeah, I am sure there is someone, but I have no clue where to find them lol. The SA I heard was actually in a prefab box and surprisingly it still didn't sound bad, but I only heard it briefly so my opinion there could have changed if I got a chance to hear it on more music (although that wouldn't be the subs fault)

Never had the chance to hear a zv4 either. I have only heard an SA

I definitely have the room for two 15's or one 18. I figured I would still get more output from two SA 15's over just a single X 15 considering the cone area. Even though there is still more cone area for two SA 15's over a single 18 X, do you think the output would still end up being that much more? I am not looking for all out SPL. A good mix of everything would be nice. I want to hit the lows with authority, but still be able to get into the 40-50 hz. range. Don't want a one not wonder. The last subs I ran were RE Audio SX 15's and while they got plenty loud for me, they didn't sound the best doing it.

All I have really ran the last 10 years is a pair of old school RE Audio SX 12's and 15's, if they can be more musical than those then I am good with that. I want to just make sure I am taking a good step up in sound quality.

Also, does anyone know the difference between the X v1 and v2?

It's time to get some new equipemt in my new car. I was hoping I could get some opinions on which route to go. I am stuck deciding between one or two SA 15's, or one X 15 or 18. Budget is about $550 for subs. Space is not an issue and I don't mind using up the entire trunk. I also plan on selling my amps and just getting one nice amp for the subs and same for my speakers (unless anyone thinks I should just stick with what I have) Below is what I have so far for my build. I am contemplating between a SCV-1500D or a SCV-2000D depending on what I end up going with for sub(s). Car: 2002 Trailblazer LT Alternator: Stock 140 amp (I will upgrade it if I have to) Big three: XS power XP kit for ease of installation Battery: XS Power D3400 under the hood. Head unit: Pioneer deh-80prs Front stage: Morel Maximo 6.5 components (I plan on deadening all 4 doors) Rear fill: Morel Maximo 6.5 coaxials Speaker amp: old school Soundstream Pic 4.480 (had it for 10 years, it will get me by for now) Subwoofer amps: 2 Viper d1200.1's that can be strapped. (more 10 year old amps) I heard an SA 15 briefly and liked the way it sounded, but didn't get a chance to really hear it on a lot of different music. I have not heard the X. I wish I could just go somewhere and listen to them for myself, but that obviously isn't an option. I don't plan on competing, just looking for a nice daily driver setup that gets loud and low, while sounding clean and hopefully getting a little air moving I listen to mostly Rap, EDM, dubstep, and a little rock music here and there. Only thing that scares me away from the X is seeing a lot of people talking about how they aren't very musical, but then I see people saying there are -- too many mixed reviews. I feel like the more I read and research, the more confused I get. I don't care want all out SPL and probably will never get it meetered. Loud to the ear while moving a bunch of air is good enough for me. Well, as least as much air as I am able to given the limited amount of power I will have. I don't plan on upgrading so I want to get this right the first time. I would like to keep electrical upgrades to a minimum,. I am sick of going back and forth on sub/amp decisions for the past couple weeks. I want to just place and order already -- preferably today. Thanks in advance for any input anyone might have.
