I have the need to upgrade subs... Suggestions?

[Nick580]

Soo I am considering building a new box for my lousy Hifonics BRZ15D4's but I dont really see the point in putting all that work into building an enclosure if im just going to through those back into it.

What I am asking is what are some good quality 600+ rms subs that can replace my current ones but are not over $200ish but are still worth building a new box for.

I realize this budget is kind of short but if I were to spend more than this I might as well buy the real deal. Plus im broke and in college.

Any suggestions would be helpful and thanks in advance.

DC level 2's are around that. I put one in my cousins car with 800 watts to it.

Nice I was looking at those. I posted in the price thread but I haven't gotten a response yet

Some used sa series or obsidians would be dope.

Just throwing it out there that I hope you know the biggest difference you'll hear will be when you build a better box.

Don't expect to gain all sorts of "loudz" just by dropping in different subs.

My advice- keep what you've got now until you build a properly designed and constructed enclosure. You might surprise yourself!

Thanks, this is true. I have redone the prefabricated box that they are in now and they sound much better but I know that If I were to actually build a box to the specs of the sub that they would sound way better. But after having these for so long I figured that I might upgrade because it will be a while before I can afford anything serious.

I would also like to add that I am looking for 15".

Sundown SAs are my go-to sub in that price range.

I wasn't all too thrilled with the dc level 2.

Email Kevin at skar audio. He might have some vvx v1's laying around that you could get a deal on.

sounds good man. I see that you have the 12" in your signature. What are your impressions?

Cool thanks for letting me know. And the SA's are probably on the top of my list followed closely by the "Lethal Injections" and the "SDC 2.5"

I'm very impressed with it. I've got mine on 800 watts before rise and it takes it like a champ. Never gets hot or stinky and I beat the hell out of it.

Just to add on to the VVX line. I got the VVX 10 v2 and it is taking 900w (before rise) no problem.
