Second Skin Audio

Upgrading. I need personal experience and suggestions.


Recommended Posts

I'm new to this forum so dont know if I'm posting this in the correct area. Anyways I currently have an Orion HCCA 12.2 and I want to upgrade to a 15" subwoofer. I've narrowed my list to a few subs: Dc lvl 5 or 6, Fi BTL-N2, DD 9500, nightshade 15", or a HCCA 15.2. These subs will be powered by an RF T2000-1bd. Any other subs recommendations would be great also. This set up will be for daily purposes so a bit of SQ with SPL is what I am aiming for. I am still new to this audio thingy so a little help would be good also. My car is a little 1996 Hinda Civic EX. Big 3 is done, 130-140 HO alt (may need a bigger one) and no second battery :( that's all for now I hope you guys could help me out :)

If your only doing that much power definitely dont do a level 6 and probably not a level 5 an xl would handle it no problem so would a regular btl not a n2.

spl dust is an option you can get on the coils... it's great for extra 1000 watts of power

where can i get this spl dust and how much is it. is it hard to apply? lol

IF I had a potential 2200 wrms, I would look into a stock BTL first. If it wasnt possible to get that (for some odd reason), I would PM CJ18 (a dealer) and have him send you a DC XL

With 2000 w rms, you can get a FI btl N2 (even fully loaded) or the DC XL.

Are you sure you have enough room for a 15" sub in a proper box in your car ?

If you think you will change for a bigger amp later, you can make another choice.

just my 2 cts !:peepwall:

Thanks guys. I'm really leaning towards the Fi BTL-N2. I know 2000 will barely tick them but thats all I could do at the moment :( how good are the Dc xl's? How many kinds do they have? I gotta admit my Orion is VERY LOUD. Not only that it sounds very nice too. I want a sub to put that beast on a leash. oh and my friend is gonna run an AQ HDC3. I want something to put that bi t ch on a leash too lol.

The dc xl is really nice..im not sure what you mean by how many kinds there are..

c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old.

i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer.

Id even look in to t3 audio. The t2000 or the T3 TSNS. Correct me if im wrong but ive heard T3 is really efficient on lower power.
