Few Questions on some Skar Products


Hi-Po 5.0

Recommended Posts

I am looking to do a Skar setup in my explorer. Have 2 box designs that will fit:

1) Two VVX v2 15"s, dual 4, wired down to 1 ohm on a skar 1500.

2) Four IVX v1 15's, dual 2's, wired down to 1 ohm on a skar 1500.

both setups would be in ported boxs, tuned at about 32.

Now, I have room to do either setup, but kind of want some input on these.

I know the VVX's are said to be able to take a lot more than 600 watts. I'm just afraid of getting 2 of these on a skar 1500 and being upset because the 750 going to each wont be enough.

Now, with the IVXs, is 375 each going to be enough, or to much? the version 1's are rated at 300, which is the version i am aiming to order.

Any and all info on this would be great. Thanks ahead of time guys!

i like the 4 15 set up b/c it has a bit more flexibility in upgrading later down the road if that's something you might consider (you will trust me). i personally feel it's easier to add a battery bank and a HO alt to facility a larger amp to push 4 15s that have the ability to take 4kW+. I also like the idea of having more cone area.

if nothing changes, nothing changes

well the 4 ivx's will all run off of 1 1500. Won't need to do a alt swap or add batteries. I just dont want to get 2 vvx's and the 1500 no be able to push them to their potential.

I have a IVX-15 in a really small box with and lots of port. I have it running of a AQ750.1 @ 2 ohms, 500 watts rated. Definitely handles it no problem. If it where me I would go the route of 4 IVX-15's on a 2k but that's just me. I do agree with you on the 2 VVX's thoughs.
