Playa Named Joe Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Ok, so I had thought I wanted a 15 DC Level 4, but I'm having second thoughts. I'm lost, I don't know what sub(s) would be best. I have a RF T1000-1bd birth sheet says 1345 @ 1 ohm and RF 1/0 power wire + RF 300A fuse. I need suggestions for a daily setup. I want it to be the loudest possible, with some sq. I have enough room for about 5-6^3 box. MAX dimensions: 15h x 30d x 36w. This would basicaly seal the truck off from the cabin. This is going into a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix. What do you guys think could get louder, 1 15" sub taking 1300rms, or 2 12" subs taking like 650rms each, or 2 10" subs taking like 650rms each? I'm also stuck on what brand to get... I want to stick with: RE 15" SX or 12" SEs or 3 SRs 10" DC Level 4 or 12" Level 3s AQ HDC3 15 FI 15" Bl with hyper pole T3 TSS 15" I'm open to other options, I don't really want to go over $300 on subs, so just looking for best bang for my buck. I would like to tune the box around 34-36 hz. Again, this is for a daily driver, my first install I will do all by myself. Please no super biased answers, I have asked about subs and I don't want " get DC!!!" from people who don't even have them... Thanks, Joe Edited October 9, 2009 by Playa Named Joe Quote 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Named Joe Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 The 2 RE SE 12s would cost like $420, I don't really want to spend that much... That is on ebay though. - The 2 Level 3s are a little out my range, but I can save a little more. - Any ideas on AQ SDC2.512s? They are alot cheaper and they would take 1300rms?

CaptainzPlanetz Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) well cone area = louder so 2 10's or 2 12's of the same power would be louder bc there is more cone area i would say the dc lvl 3 12's Right on the 12's little off on the 10's One 8" = 50.27 One 10" = 78.54 One 12" = 113.1 One 15" = 176.71 One 18" = 254.47 Two 8" = 100.53 Two 10" = 157.08 Two 12" = 226.19 Two 15" = 353.43 Two 18" = 508.94 Three 8" = 150.8 Three 10" = 235.62 Three 12" = 339.29 Three 15" = 530.14 Three 18" = 763.41 Four 8" = 201.06 Four 10" = 314.16 Four 12" = 452.39 Four 15" = 706.86 Four 18" = 1017.87 I would go with 2 of the AQ SD's 12's I havent heard a bad thing about AQ yet. And yes that power would be perfect for the pair. Edited October 9, 2009 by CaptainzPlanetz Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

Playa Named Joe Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Right on the 12's little off on the 10'sOne 8" = 50.27 One 10" = 78.54 One 12" = 113.1 One 15" = 176.71 One 18" = 254.47 Two 8" = 100.53 Two 10" = 157.08 Two 12" = 226.19 Two 15" = 353.43 Two 18" = 508.94 Three 8" = 150.8 Three 10" = 235.62 Three 12" = 339.29 Three 15" = 530.14 Three 18" = 763.41 Four 8" = 201.06 Four 10" = 314.16 Four 12" = 452.39 Four 15" = 706.86 Four 18" = 1017.87 I would go with 2 of the AQ SD's 12's I havent heard a bad thing about AQ yet. Thanks, They are out of stock now, It'll be a few weeks before I make any purchase on a/some sub(s). I seen that cone area thing posted. I'm kinda wondering if two lower powered subs would be louder then 1 sub with double the power. Quote 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO two subs with more cone area given there RMS, will be louder than one Larger Sub with less cone area given its RMS. Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............
