Hey guys, been reading for quite a while, finally decided to join.
Let me start off by saying I own both sets of subs already and don't intend to purchase anything else. No other subs, no other amps (for now) and can't fit a bigger box.
This is for daily, although I will throw it on the meter to see if I can outdo my last setup (Three AB HD12s in the same box and amps).
So I have:
Two ZV3 15", dual 2 ohm
Two ZV4 15", dual 2 ohm
In the car I currently have:
Two Skar 2500.1s
7 cube net box with enough baffle space for two 15s and two 6" PSP precision ports, can tune as low as about 31-32hz before port's become too long.
220 amp HO Alt
Deka Group 34
Two Deka Group 31
Skyhigh 2/0 gauge pos and neg run
-------------------------------------------
So each sub will see approx 3.5 cubes net, with a single 6" PSP flared port, on a 2500 at 1 ohm (will try 0.25 ohms as well)
From what I've been reading, that's plenty of space for a ZV3, and the power isn't too bad either. The ZV4 I would imagine likes a bigger box (over 4 cubes), and could take plenty more power in a 3.5 cube box then a 2500 at 1 ohm.
But the ZV4 is a newer, higher excursion, higher motor force driver. I'd imagine better low end extension even though the box is smaller then spec. I'm thinking I could tune them higher without losing much low end either compared to the ZV3s.
Regardless, your opinions folks are highly appreciated on the matter.
15" ZV3s vs ZV4s in the space and power that I have
in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
