CommonSyns Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I got the ZVX 15's in last night, and I got to try them today. They don't seem to be as loud as I thought, My SPG seems alot louder.

ThreehundredC Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 right power and right box they can sound great i just heard 12 of those 15s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonSyns Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Don't get me wrong they sound amazing actually they sound better than my SPG but they seem to be less as loud to the ear than to the SPG. I have each sub wired to a SK 1500.1D. I have a box designed by RAM-Designs 7.1ft^3 tuned to 30hz via a 15.75"x6" port.

Chris Hammer Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) What were the SPG's on? same power? What are they rated for? IDK what subs those are so speculation here..but maybe they were being given over rated power where as on the ZVX's you are giving them RMS... When I had my zvx18...I had 2.5k waiting for it. Never hooked it up..but when talking to Skar they even recommended 2k+ Edited March 19, 2013 by Chris Hammer MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.

Swordlordboy1234 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 my zvx 12's are sharing a 4^3 box and are getting around 1500 rms each. i can beat on them for hours and they dont even get warm. they would be solid for 2k each imo... and im gonna build a bigger box. they hardly move.

CommonSyns Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 The SPG was powered by a Alpine-MRP-1000 the birth sheet said it was getting a little over 1100 watts like 1160 or so at 2 ohms. The Spg is rated at 1000 watts RMS at 2 ohm. It was a Boston Acoustics SPG.

Raptorman Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 The ZVX's are probably getting a lot less than rated after impedance rise and voltage drop and such. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

CommonSyns Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I feel the same way Swordlordboy1234, About not giving them enough power, They seem to barely move lol.

Raptorman Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Give them some time to break in too. They'll get a little louder and lower naturally over time. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.
