srool Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hello, My friend has 2 15" Hertz HX380D, which are rated 600RMS each and the manufacturer recommends small box for them (2 cubic feet each when ported). He has a 4 cuft box with 2 6" ports tuned to about 34. He doesn't like their sound and way of playing abd he wants to move to DC woofers. considering he has 4 cuft and another 1 for ports- which woorer/s would give him the best result ? He tends to go with 2 level 2 15's, But I don't know if the volume is enough, although he has more than rated power. I recommended him to go with 2 level 3 12's so he will benefit both eficcient box and full using of power, and also he will be able to upgrade amp in the future. What do you say would be the loudest setup with DC's equipment ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Go big or go home. XL 12s. They'll still hit good on 600 watts each and plenty of room to upgrade.

They'll still hit good on 600 watts each and plenty of room to upgrade. yeah if your friend is wanting to spend $800 on electrical work when he upgrades, then i'd x2 the xl's level 4's get my vote. they're 1400rms a piece edit: he's gonna be spending the same amount of money anyway if he powers the level 4's properly. so disregard that lol Edited June 22, 2012 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srool Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I don't know if 2 XL's is in his budget, maybe 1 But just for knowing- would 2 XL's on about 800-850 watts each, give a loud result as 2 level 3 that would be better used? would XL even move on 800watts? Here is a pic of his hx380D's: Edited June 22, 2012 by srool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 With 1 XL 10 in the trunk of my old car on a pdx 600 I did a 143 nOt bad considering.

srool Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 He did 142 sealed on dash with the 15's, and want to move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Ok well with 1650 on one XL he should be around 148 depending on all the variables which is more then twice as loud. Or double the cone area with 800 each it'd be about the same. His call.

srool Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I can't understand how 1 woofer will gain 6DB over 2 very efficient woofers with much more cone area, in the same car, same power, same volume and tipe of box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Then stick with the hertz man. No skin off my teeth either way. You asked what dc's you'd use on that power id use an XL and get more power another down the road.

srool Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Thank you very much for you opinion, I ask in order to leave less for luck and guessing and be more sure about what I consult him. I'd like to hear more opinions with this power and volumes. Edited June 22, 2012 by srool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
