Hi Guys,

Need some advise. Have a Saz 3000D. Used for loud daily driving. It will have to be a 12 or just maybe a 15" if its one of those small box woofers.

I like lows loud.

I like a reliable driver

I like something that will work fine on music

Tuning around 32-35Hz in a trunk car

Please vote and give your reasons. This setup will be replacing two loaded BL's which were fine but if I could get better low-frew authority that would be great. Reason for the BL's going is largely due to space for baby stuff and shopping in the back.

Thanks guys

Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice.

uhhhh.... dc "what"? AA "what"?

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

You all know what I'd vote for lol

HOWEVER, either sub that you listed would be stable as a daily groundpounder if you set up the system correctly, design the enclosure correctly, and dont play full tilt for too long (well, there may be an exception or two)

When you said AA, I assume you meant Mayhem. When you said DC, Im not sure whether you means XL or Lvl 5. Can you please specify

Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that :( any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.

Thanks Guys,

Keep em coming.

For the AA and DC I have no experience with them and hence did not give the model details. Suppose its something like the BTL N2 and N3 which can go either way of a 3k RMS

I like something that can be re-coned as well for obvious reasons, though I hope its not required to often as my bl's are still good as new.

Id typically wang it at around 80-90% vol keeping it out of clipping/unwanted distortion for about 45min to and from work

I am leaning toward the BTL's since I have the BL's and love them but I do wish they had more low end authority. Will the BTL N3 play music well?

Hope to go with a single driver this time around though. Seems like a lot of the new drivers can get away with smaller boxes... :0 4cbf for a 18

I think I can squeeze in a 15 without giving up too much space.

Thanks
