ChampN252 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) What are the cheapest quality 4 15"s I can buy that will take 4000 watts peak? I was thinking 4 CompVR 15"s? Just outta the blue, I want them at peak power. My shop taught me you get more performance pushing lower level subs to peak power handling than getting higher subs at RMS. I know you guys are thinking thats foolish, but my 4 Diamond Audio D1's are louder on 2000 watts than 4 D3's. Ask Meade, he does the same thing with his Fi's. I think it getting the most for your buck. Edited December 4, 2007 by ChampN252 Quote 2012 Honda Accord Radio: Pioneer AVH-4200NEX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish there was a "shaking head" smiley for comments like this. To answer your question, the Kicker Cvr 15s are a good bang for your buck sub. I've seen someone put 4k to one before but at 1kwatts or more they don't last so be careful. Edited December 4, 2007 by Derrick824 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampN252 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 naw man, the Fi's arent low level, he's just throwing more power on them than they should handle....peaking them. Running peak is how the people get it done around here. I know a guy with 4 TDX 12"s in his car and has two MM4000 on them. Loudest car in the state.

Torres Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 definitely use RMS. steve also puts 4k watts on his subs because his BTL's are fully loaded...INCREASING the RMS power handling of the subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChampN252 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 well, I guess I'm a damn dummie becuase you guys just showed me! Seriously thou, what are 4 15"s that run on 4000 watts rms? BTW, my shop suggested I do 4 Diamond D3 15"s and another suggested 4 RE Audio SE 12"s. I guess they're both wrong huh?

andym85 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 i have no idea about the diamonds...you MIGHT be able to get away with it with the REs...but you would really have to know what you are doing...i wouldnt attempt it. my two SE tens get plenty loud off their rated rms. you could get four FI Qs or BLs, or DC LVL4s (<---which there is a group buy for going on right now) Quote i likes me some audio stuff...
