12" subwoofer for decaf setup

[Guest]

So if I go with a 15" what are my options? Aren't most 15's designed for 3.5-5 cubes?

team Fi. SP4. hdc4. uhhhh. zv4?

beefy 3" coil woofer or 4" coil.

crossfire xs v2

[Miguels]

the mayhem can be in a 3 cuft box

So... to recap the options I've filtered through are:

tantric hdd 12

hdc4 12

re xxx 12

aa mayhem 12

dc xl 15

sundown zv3 15

fi sp4 15? (have a feeling 3 cubes isn't enough for this sub)

psi level 3 12

orion hcca 15

max dimensions for the enclosure is either 26w 12h 31d or 41w 17h 12d

The zv.3 will be loud with that much power,however,if you are planning on bumping that shit hard for the whole drive home,go with a 4" coil sub. I'm not saying it won't last,but I am saying my 15zv.3 off a saz3000 in 3ft^ will get smelly within the first 15-20 minuits of unclipped full tilt power. Sundown has very good cooling techniques with a high thermal handling coil,but how far can you take it before you have to dish more money for a re-cone kit,at that point,it isn't really a daily setup.

The tantric HDD,FI SP4,RE XXX all get my vote,but I would opt for an AA SMD 15" it fits your minimum enclosure volume,it will take 3500rms all day,it is a monster on the low frequencys

thanks for your reply and sharing your personal experience. Do you think the fi sp4 will work well in 3.0 cubes? I had always thought that sub would like at least 4 cubes. and how much does that smd go for? (can't see it on the ssa website)

I'm also open to suggestions for 2 beefy 10's

thoughts on a pair of incriminator audio lethal injections? I can't find the specs on these subs anywhere

The only way you will find a SMD is if someone is selling one they don't make them right now.

10's there are a bunch out there in the 1500w range.

Still trying to keep the $500 budget. That probably narrows my options a bit
