Please Help Me Decide On Some Subs For Sealed 15's!


Recommended Posts

I have been competing a lot and tried all kinds of ported boxes and I have come to love 15's. After hearing my buddy's jeep with 2 sealed dayton titanic 15's, I want to try something new and go with a dual 15" sealed setup.... I just love the sound of a lot of power going to sealed 15's in a car that is heavily dynamatted.

My budget is $100-225 on each subwoofer....

And I don't want to go over 1800 watts on the amplifier (running zero gauge, stock alt, yellowtop, don't want to upgrade further)

The amp will most likely be a hifonics 1206d,1606d,or 2006d (because I like them, so don't try to argue with that)

SO PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE ON SOME SUBS!!!

my first choice would be some comp-vx, because they sound awsome and they are sexy, but That would be just too much power, i'd need about 2200 watts

My first choices:

- kicker comp-vr 15"

- fi SSD 15"

- memphis M3 15"

- mtx 7500 15"

- RE SR 15"

SO HELP ME OUT AND GIVE ME SOME IDEAS.... I wanna be hitting 144's or something sealed, so I guess you could say I want a SQ and SPL and that also means I want to give the subs a good 20% more power then they are rated, casue sleaed subs like lots of power.

Feel free to PM me too

and some of you will probably try and say "just go ported, it can still sound as good as sealed" , but I want sealed becasue it fits my design I have in mind better.

It's going in a blazer

Hey man I just did an install with 2 sealed 15"s in a 01' blazer. THAT SHIT SLAPPED with around 950watts rms. They were a discontinued model of Performance Teknique subs mounted inverted & wired normally.

Also, if you've watched my video of my 2 P3's sealed with around 1500rms, RF is always a good choice! I'm SURE both systems were easily in the 140's range.

If I were you though, those SSD's sound like a BET. B)

I would seriously look into the DC Audio Level 4's. They are about 1000rms and very reasonably priced. PM DC Audio on here and ask him for some details. They can smash the lows and get loud while doing it.
