Frozenbritches Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Posted August 3, 2008 lol Just exploring my options here you know...I know a box would do good, I'll do that first and stack my chips for a bigger upgrade for real...but I'm just talking options here too...like 4 12's that are...good quality..that would outthump those 15's with quality...my 15's are sloppy you know...like 2 12" Jl's are way more crisp...although not near as loud on the lows...I want that crispness with the loudness...what about 4 JL 12" W0's I hear those things take no power and f-ing slam...

David Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 being in a overly large enclosure will make the woofer sloppy. make the proper ported box, and I bet you change your mind, are they the greatest sub evar nope, but they get stupid loud in the right enclosure, I loved my L7's they were rediclously loud on a bd1501 in 6 cubes after displacement ( I had 12s) Im not a JL fan at all, so Im not gonna say alot, other than you can do alot better for the same amount of money Quote
Frozenbritches Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Posted August 3, 2008 That's why I said the W0's...since they are older, and you can still get new ones I believe if you search long enough....they are cheaper you know...but I understand, they are stupid loud...my box is almost perfect..it's mainly my power right now...they are BEASTS...my lights dim like crazy can't turn them on full blast...I got a yellowtop and 1/0 wire to the back...nothinng else cept that 130 alternator..that's why I want to do big 3, port the box, and get hte battery..think they would sound crisp and blow for real? the 4 12's just screams clarity and loudness though Quote 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Hifonics Brutus Bxi2607D (FRIED...saving for ZX2500.1) 2 15" 07 L7's ported at 32hz Xplod POS for the MIDS, which are Memphis
EricM9104 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) uhh.... build a custom box, and the 15s shouldn't sound as sloppy. how it sounds depends on the INSTALL. edit: david beat me to it!

kingsuv Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 I think 2 subs in a proper box will be way better then 4 in a box that your only willing to do once. Sounds like you have your heart set on more subs which is fine, but I bet if you listen to the advise on here and build the right box for what you got, you will forget ever dropping the subs for other subs.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it.
Frozenbritches Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Posted August 3, 2008 Sorry I don't understand what you mean. 4 in a box I am willing to do once??? what do you mean by that...

kingsuv Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Sorry I don't understand what you mean. 4 in a box I am willing to do once??? what do you mean by that... What i mean is, it doesn't sound like you are willing to spend the time to build the correct box for what you have now. So I would assume that you would only do 1 box for the 4 subs too. about 90% of getting loud is the box not the gear you put in it. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

Frozenbritches Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) no no no, I plan on taking real time...you want pictures? I did a hell of a nice job on my sealed enclosure...maybe a little big but I took time.. sanded for extra stick with the liquid nails...I made sure it was like..hella sealed...I mean, I did everything to a T, but my experience is limited you know, I'm no expert on a box...I am taking my TIME on this...building an extra solid box, inch thick particle with a good port and the rest completely sealed from leaks... as far as the box I have now, it's like I made a perfect rectangle you know..I didn't think about the mechanics..I just know it's as good as any other sealed box with no modifications to it.. I couldn't have 4 12's and port it like meade did...except on a much smaller scale...or would I have to have 4 individual boxes...I have all the time in the world to construct what I need... the reason I want a change is the speakers are getting older and a recone I don't want to do really..I want more experience with more subs...then I can say I've done an install with 4 subs and did it correctly you know what I'm saying...and in the process gain more beat.. Not only that someone wants my box and subs for 300 so then I'll have over or just at 700 to buy more subs and a complete box...or...4 if that is the case...

kingsuv Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 I'm not saying you didn't take time on the system you have now. What i'm saying is if you hold off on dropping coin on a new system and try a few different box designs that maybe you don't need to spend the money on a new system. Just cause it's getting older doesn't mean it's no good anymore. I can bet you that with what you have now, in the right box will achieve the sound you think you will get out of 4 subs.
