what sub's to use? 4 -15'' build


Recommended Posts

so i have a good start on my new build.... got my box in-- 15cb ft. sealed with bedliner on the outside and braced walls, my wire all done and my amp painted and mounted. so im now on to the subs that im going to put in... down the line i am going to port this box with areo ports. and put in american bass subs . but for now i am out of cash and want to just get some subs in the box so.. i have to go cheap for a few months intell i get the cash saved for good subs. i want to spend $75 - $100 a sub (online price) i have a precision power 4k amp does 2k RMS @ 1ohm so 400 to 500 watts rms i would want to each sub for the RMS on them. my friend has a truck just like mine and he is runin 2 12'' boss audio Phantom in a port box on 1k rms and it hits HARD for boss audio lol.. i think i am going to buy 4 of the Phantom 15'' off audio savings for $275 for 4 of them!!! i would never buy boss audio but at this time i think i just mite have to, and just sell them when i get good subs in a few months. what other subs would photo-1.jpgbe good at the $75 to $100 price for 15s? pic of my setup.....

dear OP, please prepare yourself for the massive numbers of people who are about to say "save your cash and get some sundown sa-15's."

thanks and have a nice day.

personally. i would suggest the american bass xd 15's. only cost $20 more than your budget, and should work well in your low power budget build.

Honestly depending on how long until you get more money I would just wait instead of wasting your money on something you know your not going to keep. If you can come up with $200 more dollars then you have a wide variety of really good companies that provide 15's that you probably wont need to change for awhile.Gives you more time to save up money. The Skar IVX's or the Sundown E series subs.Its options but your going to need at least another $50 per sub.

$275 for 4 subs. yeah they'll be real good quality *eye roll*

that box doesnt look too sturdy either. unless you have some crazy bracing, that single baffle will more than likely flex like a mufugger.

bracing can be seen if you look at the pic.

i saw it. just looks like a piece of wood mounted horizontally
