Oddly enough, I'd rather have these than e series... These are beefier than what I've seen from the e

There are lots of other choices, the E-series was a good recommendation but there are other equally well suited subs for what you want to do.

Sounds to me like your current subs are the weak link in your system. You can spend a bunch of time/money messing around with different boxes and amps but you will still have the same weakest link.

Has anyone heard about the nvx vcw 15? That was my other choice but I chose the 2 12s instead.

Audiopipe Class D Monoblock Amplifier 3000W might be your best bet, its cheap, will do what you need, and its not that bad looking.

NO, JUST NOOOOOOOO, not again.

You'd be a lot better off buying a Fi car audio/ascendent audio/SSA/Sundown subwoofer.

If you want something way louder than that JL sub, just go with a SoundQubed HDS300 series sub with D4 coils. Thats currently one of the better budget subs.

[ShadeTreeMechanic]

My HDC315s have a high Q. High Q causes you select a high Q for your box (or you get a negative number for Vb) and response becomes very peaky and not flat. Couple this with port gain and it will get loud.

Thats your mistake then, you should of done more research since it's not even close (the Soundstream is a medicore at best subwoofer )

The R3 compared to the sundown E has poor sensitivity, weaker motor force, less xmax and a weaker voice coil (I don't know why you would rather have an inferior subwoofer, your quote makes no sense)

Soundstream goes to the cheapest chinese build house and submits a cookie cutter design using the cheapest off the shelf part (hence a mediocre product)

The Sundown uses custom tooling, has very good quality control, and is the product of hundreds of hours of research (The subwoofer in question, the sundown E just got it's third revision a few months ago, it underwent hundreds of hours of testing and modifying to make an already solid subwoofer even better).

Two E series subs in a ported box (which is what i'm recommending to you) would make your soundstream subwoofers look like a childs toy (much better overall subwoofer and there designed to shine in ported enclosures). Not only would the output increase drastically but the sound quality would as well (not really a suprise, the sundown E is a better subwoofer in literally every single aspect).

Not only will it give you what your looking for but it's in a realistic price range (selling your box/subs and using the money you would of spend on an amplifier on dual E series with a custom box is actually a realistic option price wise).

I disagree with the E being better than the Soundstreams. They are 2.5" coils vs what is surely a 2" Chinese coil.

[Jman9112]

From what I can tell, the r3 is a very quality sub for its price. They hit hard and get low, I agree that they could use a better box, but I think its a combination of things that makes them sound less than perfect. Low power, mediocre box, ext. Cab truck, not best voltage (stock alt). But I do believe that these subs have alot of potential. Just gotta get them in the right enclosures with the right power and they will bang.

Soundstream is literally inferior on everything from the soft parts to the technical specs (Just because the voice coil is larger doesn't mean it's superior, everything about it is cheaper and lower quality)

Not only that but the current E series subs are in fact 2.5" (not 2")
