Original Wis Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Ok, so I'm kind of back at the drawing board on this. I originally went with 4 CT Sounds Tropo 10 on a Taramps Smart 3 but I have an opportunity to do a massive upgrade because reasons. I have 4 to 4.8 cubic feet of air space. My budget is $500 bucks maximum for each sub, or $2,000 max. I have electrical infrastructure to support up to 7,000 watts. I'm not doing 2 12's, 1 15, or any setup that's outside of my current interest. I've done those already. I'm trying something different this time. I've looked at the following: Sae and U series from Sundown DC Audio level 3 and 4 B2 audio riot DD audio Psw American bass, Kicker, Skar, Def Bonce, Memphis, Toro, Massive won't fit. Part of the reason for my indecision on the subject is that I don't want to spend $2,000 on a set of subwoofers without getting some opinions and doing some research into the purchase to make sure that I don't have buyers remorse 6 months down the line Goal is to keep the system for the foreseeable future. The problem that I've had is that I haven't been able to build loud enough so that I don't outgrow it in 3-6 months. Pretty much everything I've heard under 2k watts hasn't done it. My buddy has a Sundown zv6 15 on a T 2500bdcp right now and it's not even close to what I'm looking for. For those who don't like loud b/c reasons, keep in mind that I don't play loud in parking lots of neighborhoods. Only streets and highways 2+ miles away from home. Besides that being an inconsiderate move, I don't see the benefit of announcing to everyone living near me that there's goodies for the taking. Everyone has their own level of tolerance for loud, and I know that mines doesn't mesh well with sound quality. So, that's the needle that I'm looking for in the hay stack. Any thoughts?

And yeah, 4.8 is the sweet spot for a lot of different 10's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmanjr82 Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 DC Level 4. You can support up to 7k, but you can also upgrade down the line (add more power) which leaves room to get louder by adding said power. The other subs you listed would probably be fine on lower power, but you will probably out grow them fairly quick and be looking to upgrade. The FI X v3 would be a viable option.
