blackhole Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 as i need six fifteens and i don't have too much money i was looking all over for cheap subs that can handle at least 500 rms and do it all day without failing. i stumbled across those kole audio kmx-15 subs and they go for about 170 dollars. specs • 2000 Watts MAX Power • 1000 Watts RMS Power • 270oz. Magnet • 4-inch 18 AWG Voice Coil • Fs: 29.6 Hz • Vas: 1.79 Ft3 • Qms: 4.685 • Qes: 0.484 • Qts: 0.439 • Xmax: 0.748" • SPL: 92 dB • Recommended Enclosure: 3.0 Ft3 Ported • Port Size: 4" x 11.25" • # of Ports: 2 • Mounting Depth: 8.5” i like the specs and the price, but i was wondering if there would be a reason why i dont see any talk about those subs here in the forum. i did some search on google to try and find out if people had been having any trouble with those subs, but i could not find any dirt on them. but rather that those who have them do like them. please advice me on if i should go for it or if there are some other subs that i should go for, they really cant be more expensive than the aprox 170 dollars per sub as i need six of them and final price will be over 350 dollars per sub when i have paid toll and shipping to iceland. everything here costs at least double for what usa customers need to pay. i really like the specs, like 4" voice coil and 270 oz magnet but i'm kinda nervous on making the purchase as i can't find reliable review on those subs. please advice me. i don't have too much experience with different tipes of fifteens but my two cerwin vega 154 1000/500rms had served me well for over ten years before i sold them to a friend. and i currently have two Jl Audio 15W3-D2 running on 500 rms per sub, no problems exept i have had to replace the tinsel leads. and im running the jl's on (Alpine V12 MRD-M1005 i will try and figure out later what amps i will be buying as that will be a whole new paycheck lol the car is a 4x4 mitsubishi pajero. (dodge raider/montero)1987 model. here is a video of what i do with my 4x4 fully loaded with audio stuff.

blackhole Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Posted September 30, 2009 Just get 2 loud 18's....lol i'm somehow am stuck on having fifteens, no other size. six fifteens is what i can fit in my car without blocking the rear view and still keep the car fully functional as a five seater. thanx guys for pointing out the power aucoustic mofo's. i knew about them, but i had totally forgotten. as my car is 22 years old and using two fifteens for the last year, some of the body assembly seams have started to break up at the spot welds. i guess i'll be using the time while the mofo's are on their way here to weld up the seams and repaint those areas. ill be using the time as well to design a snug fit box, now i'm just wondering if it would be best to use an shared space box for the six or let each sub have its own chamber and port. the reason i'm thinking about separate chambers is that if one sub dies it wont have any effect on the output from the others that are still working. is there some store that would give smd forum members a discount on the mofo's?

P4killer_ Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 def not on the discount. about the shared chamber thing idk if all the subs are going to be on the same amp, id say no, its too many individual chambers and loads n stuff on one amp id just do it shared itll be easier to build too IMO Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s
