seductivesounds Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm currently in the market for some new subs. As of right now I am running 4 Kicker L7 10's Power is from a pair of Kicker KX1200.1's strapped making around 2.8k Box is ~4.5ft^3 sealed. Ideally what I would like to do is drop down to a pair of 12's or an awsome single 15" I'm looking for a great SQL driver, I want to be able to pound out the bass, but still be able to enjoy the sublties of the music. Current drivers I am looking at RE MX12, RE SX12, Fi BL12, Fi Q12, DD3512, DD9515 etc. Vehicle - 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R SpecV I am doing consistant 143-144dB @ 40-45Hz I'd like to get closer to the 150dB (or louder) if I can. I do still want to be able to listen to music, I dont want a raw spl machine This is my daily driver. I would like my trunk to be something nice to look at, as well as work well at getting me what I want. (I'm not worried about groceries or anything like that, but the seats need to stay in) What do you guys suggest I do? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 i would do the DD 9515 possibly 18...but on this forum people are going to immediatly say DC or FI not that they are bad companies but its just the boner right now.

WickedToys1 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 you are going to need more than 3krms to get to the 50's in a regular ground pounder vehicle assuming you are going to have it tuned low for music, but you can definately get louder. I would suggest 2 lvl4 15's with level 5 coils and the right box will get you atleast twice as loud then your current setup.

seductivesounds Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions. It really does help. I've actually beening looking in RE and Fi for quite a while They seem to offer exactly what I need. And the Fi's are definately fitting the budget at the moment. What would be the better of the 4 subs I'm looking SX12, MX12, Fi BL12, or the Fi Q12? I'm thinking a box no larger than 6 cubes net.

We say Fi and Dc because that what WE use you say DD cause thats what YOU use there are hundreds of awesome subs out there but what sense does it make to say hey get you some Memphis speakers if im running something different ? Steve runs Fi im running Dc your running DD if we get even more members we will All the major brands covered Quote ALLAH's the most gracious, he made the universe the most spaciousSeen and heard in all places, but still appear facelessEmbraces all races, all caste and all casesIn every spec of life he's the substance of all traces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickedToys1 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 i was running 4 MX 12's and i got rid of them and got DC's, the RE's sounded great but weren't very loud. But it's your choice.

seductivesounds Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm really leaning towards Fi at the moment, cuz the prices are fantastic. I'm interested to know how the BL's are able to get louder than the Q's? (21mm xmax vs 27mm xmax) And would they take the 1400 watts that I have to feed them? Also how stable are the Kicker KX1200.1's at 1.5ohm when strapped? It's .5 ohm lower than what I'm running now does that make a huge difference?
