  1. Why would you put your speakers in a sealed box when you can run ported?

    One ported 15 will be as loud as two in a sealed box. 4th Order (ported box) enclosures are 3-6db more efficient than sealed boxes. When you double your woofer area or power, your output goes up by 3db.

    Two fifteens in a sealed box with double the power will be as loud as one EBS-loaded 15 but will probably sound more authoritative on the low-lows.

  2. Resin will be the strongest and best solution in your situation. If your panels are structurally sound and have the coin thickness gap you can just grab a $0.99 small tube of clear silicone II and fill the gap. Everybody starts somewhere and I have filled quarter inch gaps with tons of silicone and it still holds solid to this day. No, I will not post pix of the enclosure ha ha

    Pics or Ban! LOL

  3. Lanzar Optidrive 32 Series (1100wRMS power handling on the 12)

    or

    American Bass VFL (1000 watts RMS power handling)

    Both are relatively cheap and very powerful. You can PM me if you need some help with locating these.

    Also, look at the Audiopipe TXXAPX (Eye Candy) subwoofers that take 1000 watts RMS and are VERY efficient.

    Good Luck

  4. How about 3 Hifonics BXi2010Ds for $279 each plus shipping?

    Three American Bass VFL 110.1s for $399 each?

    Or 3 Planet Audio BB2400.1s for $439 each?

    Three Lanzar OPTI 2000D (.5 Ohm stable amp) for $369 each?

    Three AudioPipe AQX25001 (2500wRMS) for $359 each?

  5. Seriously look at the AudioPipe TSF1200 shallow mount high power subwoofer. They handle 1000 watts RMS and are only 4.125 inches deep. I've run them in sealed and ported boxes and have had good results with both.

    Up to three of them can be ported behind your seat. :hairtrick:

    If you're having a problem locating some, just PM me, okay?

  6. Good points, Boon. 2500 watts RMS per sub is an ungodly amount of power in a transmission line. However, I have played with many, many subwoofers that can take a lot more mechanical abuse than you would suspect. I say it would damage the coil eletrically before the mechanical limits become apparant. You will want to pay extra attention to your amp(s) subsonic filter though and be responsible with the volume knob.

    I say build it and see how it does. BOSE does this kind of stuff all the time. Let him builld his box; this probably won't be his last exotic box, so he needs to do this one.
