Herokight Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) I really don't want any 'IB4L" posts, because I'm not meaning to post a vs thread. But if you could only go $250 a piece on subs, what would you get? I don't want to find one thing and get my mind stuck on it, because I was stuck on RF and Soundstream before I got here and saw things that are so much better for the price. I really don't wanna go much higher than $250, but if I have to I will. It'll just take longer on the build. I'm really considering a 4th order. I have some plans for one. Basically, it'll be three independant boxes that join together with t-nuts (lots), and the subs will use the sides of the ported part as the baffle. I can get 6.88cuft before displacement on the two sealed boxes, and 15cuft before displacement for the ported side. I want to go with 4 15s, two in each sealed box, somewhere around 750-1000wrms. Here's a few that have caught my eye: GCons DC Lvl 3s Sundown Dayton Audio Titanic MKIII Still have no clue on an amp. Hifonics got my attention for the wattage vs price, but what's some others?

Is she stealing them or building them with a heat gun and rubber bands? You hear that????That's a category 5 shit storm coming n8: hey you doing today. What's it like being a bitch? you can pm me if you'd like to explain why you arent one. Just like you did for your vs threads. ^^^Rules.

Crandis16 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) sundown FTMFW, the SA series are rated at 600wrmslol. I have not heard any DC level 3's but I have heard from other people that the SA series can take more power than the level 3 line even though both say they're rated at 600wrms. just my 2 cents on what I know about those sub lines that you listed Edited May 26, 2012 by Crandis16 Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZTYBRN Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Skar VVX, Fi SSD, Obsidian perhaps. I'm really considering a 4th order. I have some plans for one. Basically, it'll be three independant boxes that join together with t-nuts (lots), and the subs will use the sides of the ported part as the baffle. I can get 6.88cuft before displacement on the two sealed boxes, and 15cuft before displacement for the ported side. I want to go with 4 15s, two in each sealed box, somewhere around 750-1000wrms. I really have no idea what you're saying, but three separate boxes does not sound like a good idea. And since you seem to be new at this, I would recomment NOT trying a 4th order. Start out with some ported boxes. Build your woodworking skills, find out what sounds good to you, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hertz2beloud Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I was the same way before joining here. My advice is just do some research. Tons of resources available on this forum alone. As far as level 3's I have a pair coming and can not wait to see the comparison to my rockford p3 12's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herokight Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Idk. It'll be about a year before I get a big build really going, so I've got time to figure it out. Did the math. I actually have room for 8 15s in a fourth order. I'm trying to do something on sketchup real quick. Edit- I mean I MIGHT. If 1.5cuft per sub in the sealed side and 15cuft is enough for the ported side. I could polyfill if I had to. I'm working with a Malibu like Scottichbears if that helps. 98, four door coupe.

corey0928 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I don't see you fitting 8 15s in a malibu especially in a 4th order. I assume you are doing a wall with a build as big as you say. And have you ever built a wall? if not I would not suggest you trying to make a 4th order as your first wall build. you cant go wrong with sa15s or dc lvl 3s but I would say with DC changing up their lines the lvl 2 will be closer to the sa line from sundown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman1575 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 If you're really tight on budget as far as power is concerned, I recommend the APSM series. As much as everyone hates Audiopipe, I'm running two 1500's in my truck (conservatively 'till I get electrical straightened out), was running one at 0.5 ohms for a while with little issues (did overheat on a really hot day but you have to really beat on it), but for the price they're great 'till you can afford Sundown, Skar, RF, etc. Subs...I'd do two SA-8's in a T-line with that much room Just to see the looks on people's faces. But that's my opinion. DC, SA, Skar, all great subs for the price. Or if you can land a set of used AQ's, they aren't as great as DC's or SA's, but they are good for the price. Quote POTATO!
