opinions on 15's


Recommended Posts

ok... so starting the rebuild of the truck, and trying to figure out what to go with...

so, here's what i'm looking at.

i have a budget of around 600 for subs (could be a lil higher if necassary).

i want to go with 15's, in the back of the montero...

i will be pushing them with two BAMF 5500d's ... so..

ideas? should i run 4 lower priced 15's, 2 higher priced 15's?

i'm pretty much going for the highest SPL possible...

i can fit a max of around 20 cubic feet in the back, with the way i want the box to sit....

suggestions?

edit: ed at t3 said he could hook me up with some re-coned t1000's for 165 a piece... just thought i'd throw that in there

2 Fi BTL n2s or dc XLs would be my choice.

My choice atleast. And if you can fit 4 15s why not 2 18s?

Those amps do a little over 2k right

i was going to go with 2 18's... but the way my truck is, it would be a BITCH to get the to fit with the proper cubed footage... that, and it would be hard to get 2 18's for around 600... unless, you know of some 18's in that price range??? lol

Rebuild in progress

what happens when your CD player skips and you accidentally drop a 22 hz sine bomb at an unholy volume on 7-8 year old subs? Mechanical failure floppy sub knockage on at least 2.

well...as i see the level 6 is compared to a lamborghini.....but a corvette?

i was thinking more like a chevy volt. its cute and new and "hip", but i would just rather stick my dick in a blender.........

their rated at 3200 at 1 ohm... but its prolly a lil over rated and at 14 volts, so i would put them in the area of around 2000-2500 a piece
