CorNut Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I ordered Taramps Smart 3, I was thinking about trying a single Skar ZVXv2 15, would that be too much amp for that single 15? An enclosure for 2x12's will fall near the size required for a single 15. I was looking at Skar as an option because this is a semi budget minded SPL setup but I'm not partial to them. I know American Bass and many others have great budget friendly stuff too. Something with a net of ~4.5cu ft or less is best, less is better. The person whose vehicle this is going in isn't concerned about size/brand, he's trusting I'll (you guys?) make the right decision for him. The more SPL minded stuff isn't something I have a lot of experience with. I've only done a couple sundown SA's, a single ZVX, and a single EVL. All were near RMS, I've never had this much more power available than what's required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I would say a smart 3 is too much for a single ZVX, but great for 2 12's. A single Avitar STU-1546 would handle that Smart 3. But I can't find them for sale. A single Deaf Bonce Apocalypse DB3515 will do the trick and cost about the same as 2 ZVX's. Maybe a little more. A single Incriminator Judge series 15 will do fine as well. And a single B2 Rage XL would fit the bill as well. Just depends is all. He'll probably be louder with 2 12's because of cone area. And all those brands have 1000-1500 watt 12" options as well. 4.5 cubic feet would probably better suit a single 15 though (and that's going off my limited knowledge of box design to be completely honest) if he wants a ported enclosure. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.

pnutz37 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Ideally you want a a single sub to handle 2000-2500 rms or 2 subs to handle 2000-2500 rms in total (if you want to be safe) . I have run the Smart 3 on a few set ups and it was running about 2200-2500 rms at 2.5/2.7 ohms after impedance rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorNut Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Space isn't a huge issue, it's for an Escalade but it'd be nice to leave at least some storage space for him. I appreciate the recommendations, I'll check specs/prices after work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
