cgallmore Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I am looking to add get either the SA15 or the e15 but I was wondering what the difference between the two are. I am limited on space because I drive a small suv(Toyota rav4) I am debating on getting 2 e15s and inverting them or just get 1sa15. What are your opinions on the 2 and best way to mount them. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorman Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 SA has a stronger motor, more excursion, and more thermal handling.

cgallmore Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 SA has a stronger motor, more excursion, and more thermal handling. would i be better off with 1 sa-15 running 800 watts or use 2 e-15 1000 watts? i would love to do 2 sa-15s but i dont think my car will be able to power it without a big 3 upgrade.

SnowDrifter Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Just FYI you need to do a big 3 upgrade anyway. No matter what size amp you get you need to do it. It's no big deal though. Just 3 wires.

98GCLimited Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 An SA will want more than 800 watts plus 2 e15s is 2x cone area and more than likely at least the same or stronger motor force combined than the single sa. Go with the 2 e15s if you can fit them in proper sized box (6 cubes net minimum for the pair). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with the 2 e15s if you can fit them in proper sized box (6 cubes net minimum for the pair). here is what i have to work with the dimensions i have to work with are: 32w 20d 20h the box was going to be 4.02 cubes 32w 18d 18h with the port going accross the bottom tuned to 34hz unless i take the backseats out there is no way i can get 6 cubes unless i take the back seats out. would it work well if i inverted the subs and put it on the top of the box? i just dont want to waste time or money building a couple boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yeah dude you are limited to a single 15 or a pair of 12s with that space. I'd to a pair of 12s if you can Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrunkMuzik Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Cone Area One 15" = 176.71 Two 12" = 226.19 Box Volume 1 E15 = 3-4 ft^3 1 Sa15 = 3-4 ft^3 2 Sa12 = 3-4 ft^3 Those box specs are from sundown just somthin to think about ... if it were my vehicle id go with 2 12s. Are you set on a 15? Edited June 7, 2013 by TrunkMuzik Quote Without music, life would be an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you set on a 15? No I'm not set on a 15, I was trying to design a box that could fit 2 12s and it is a tight squeeze. I just am worried my car won't be able to handle all the power is give it if I went with the sa12s. I'm not worried if I do the e series but I want the sa series. I really appreciate all the help from everyone! I am trying to learn about car audio. I thought I was making a good buy when I got the sound ordnance bp-80? At this point I think anything will be better than that. One more question for you guys. If I build the box subs up port back is that going to be good. I read that to get the lower frequencies the subs should be mounted vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
