In the hands of the right person there is no comparison,
But if the vvz is in the wrong box v's the right for e-12 will be better,
As said before, you have a budget, post some meserments and then see what you can fit, and make a choise from there.
Myself I like single ported 15" in budget systems but that's just me,
You'll set this up from $300up
This is the box I have now but it's made for two tens sealed.

Do you use the 15 ported for a groundshaker or a sq?

if your budget is 400$ max than I would look at a E-12 or obsidian audio 12(if you can get it and not get raped on shipping) E-12 will run you about 110-115 shipped if you look at the right place.
Spend the 110 on E-12 D2
get the mb quart 1500 or a brz 1200. wire it at 4ohms not 1ohm. So you will get like 450 which is RMS for the E-12.
250-275$ right now
take the other 125-150
Order good OFC 4 gauge. Knu Koncepts Kollosus flex gets my vote...or Audiotechnix OFC(oxygen free copper)
Get enough to do your amp and the Big 3.
Use the leftover money to get some MDF and build a box exactly to spec...a ported box. Whatever you have leftover maybe invest in a Better head unit or some better Coaxials or components.
Just my 2cents and what I would do with 400$ ----IF this budget is exclusively for subs amps alone than I would get two e-12s a brz1200 and wire 1ohm.
Thanks for the input. I am thinking about mb quart over older pyle amp. I already have the wiring for the battery so I save some money there. How do you think the e-12s stack up to two scar vvx 12's?

Give some info on the box you have :
Height ?
Width ?
Depth?
Wood (wall thickness) thickness ?
Ya my math was slightly of box my box but here are the stats.
the wood is 3/4 inch
Sorry about the bad pic. Still trying to figure out this forum

Hey do you guys ever run subs in boxed that have too much cubic feet then what is rated for the subwoofers by the manufacture? I was looking at two tens that are rated for 0.65 ft^3 sealed or 1.0-1.4 ft^3 ported at 32 hz. My box holds two tens and is sealed. The box has 4.16 cubic feet if my math is correct. Will this difference hurt the sound quality?
-
alright. for subwoofers, you want a monoblock (1 channel) amp. in very rare cases it is better to use a bridged 2 channel. but 95% of the time, you want a monoblock
ported boxes, when built correctly, let the woofers play better than if in a sealed box.
clipping is the #1 killer of all speakers. i dont give a fuck if your speaker has a uranium phosphate iodine cooled voice coil. clipping will eventually fuck it up like a curb stomp.
you dont need a bass processor.
i'd throw away, or sell, that pyle (of shit) amp you have.
lastly, how much money do you have to spend for subwoofers/wiring/amp/box?
My budget is around 400$. Does the amp really make a big difference? It probably a stupid question but I have not really looked into amp reviews and such.

I listen to just about everything from rap to classic rock to regagae. I have a 1993 toyota Acura with Sony xploids(Walmart) and stock tweeters. The radio is new. I had two ten inch bazooka subs with a 250 watt amp bridged and what I was told about bridging an amp is that it puts the max rms through a sub which the bazookas happened to be 250 rms. Long story short the system blew up and I ended up getting a Pyle (older) 800 watt two channel amp. I read alot of good things about Skar subs and I am a short drive away from there headquarters so I thought I would pick two vvx 10s and put them in my sealed box. But now I am rethinking the tens and might put in at bigger or smaller subs depending on the sound quaility. Also thought of putting in a bass processor but I have never had one nor have a seen them
Haha toyota camry I mean
Did anyone else catch this??? ^^^ its one of the first ever hybrids!!!!

What why sealed? Go with a custom ported box, They'll make your 10s sound really nice
When I bought my subs, someone told me the sealed boxes will hit tighter than ported.... Not sure if it is true
-
Slow your roll cupcake. You're getting way ahead of yourself. Just do as much research as you can before you spend money on new subs and blow them too.
Thanks for the advice and I blew them 4 months ago and I think it was a bad ground on the amp.
-
Also I was thinking of maybe a ported box? But still researching the tunning and space needed for the subs.

Hey what do you guys think is the best size sub to buy for great sounding bass. 8, 10, 12, 15, 18? I have heard 10s hit the best and still have a lot of bass but the 18s will hit louder and deeper. I am looking into a new set up and want the best sounding car audio.
15-18inch SQ sub
in Subwoofers / Enclosures

Hey has anyone ever build a box for an 18 or 15 inch sub for really good SQ that still can pound the lows? I have heard about people building SQ subs with 8s and 10s but not too much with 15 to 18 inch subs.
