15" or 18" Subs that work well in small ported boxes


Revdoc

Recommended Posts

I've been trying to decide what to put in my 07 Escape for a while now, I only have about 12 cubes of air space but I want to squeeze as much bass in that space as I can. I would love to do 4 15s but can't seem to find any that like 3 cubes per sub. Or 3 18s that would do well in 4 cubes per sub. I have built a too-small box before and hated it, I don't want to make that mistake again. Power will be 4k RMS, box will be tuned for 30-35 hz with a slot port. Also considering 6 12s, see my other thread.

I will probably run 2 rated at 2k-2.5k RMS at 1 ohm. Haven't fully decided yet. I will have an upgraded alt, multiple runs of 1/0 and a spare battery or two in the back to help support the amps. I might go cheap at first with a pair of AP1800s or PPI Black Ice series. Then upgrade to a couple of Crescendo or Sundown amps once I have everything installed and working. Especially if I have to spend extra to get subs that will work in a small space, like the Zv.3's.

I have been talking to CJ18, thanks. I also found the Skar ZVX 18s that supposedly work in 4 cubes ported @ 32 hz. On sale now at SonicElectronix $380 shipped. Anyone have experience with Skar? Think these could handle 2000 or 2400 instead of the rated 1500 RMS?

You could easily run 4 sa15's in 12 cubes and it would be LOUD! I ran 4 sa12's in a meager 6.5 cubes and did 155's in my ZX3 with them. If I would have switched to ZV3's I'm sure it would have been even louder. My point is that the sa series is affordable and gets fucking loud.
