shizzzon Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I have a dilemma so i'l post what i have now so i can work off that. I built a wall in my car so i could learn from it. I currently run 3 Level4 15s off of 21,000w(yes, the stock level4s) but i cant seem to break a 153. I blame it partly on the wall design and prob more on the car itself as it's not all that braced around the wall. I still only have stock alt, 2 batts and some major power compression. Goal is to break a 160 by the end of the year. I will be getting an upgraded alt sometime soon and some 16v batts but i need the right choice of subs to go with- When i go to 18v, i will be able to play with more power! My choices are- 3 Level4XL 15s @39,000w 2 Level5 18s @26,000w It may look apparent as to which direction i should go but my car is small for a wall so i have space restrictions. Volume-wise, i only have about 14cubes NET to play with. Baffle size averages to - 52" wide x 25" high. I can get a lot more port area with 2 18s but a lot more power with 3 15s... I was hopin someone that has experience with both subs to give me some competitive info about them... maybe the A-Team? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zfrerichs Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) out up a few pics of your wall. I can help i would do 3 lvl5 15s if possible with as much port are as possible edit this for db drag ss classes? if so you could do the 2 18s on passanger side port drivers side with as much port as possible. This is all assuming you can fit 2 18s high Edited April 14, 2010 by zfrerichs Quote Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzzon Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 oh, i forgot to say that weight restrictions are in play too... that's why i chose not to do 3 lvl5s I dont want to excel over the limit of the car which is 865lbs. I got about 500lbs without anybody in it. I'll post pics of it tomorrow for ya. You will see that the further back you go in my car, the more narrow it gets.. The height decreases and the width decreases... I think the height decreases down to about 23" and the width to no more than 36" wide... I'll be relining the car in 2x4s after i tear this wall down but i gotta do lots more than that. I'm not allowed to modify anything in front of the B pillar so it's gonna be a challenge.

Destram Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 3 Level 5 15s would be pretty sexy. If you're only burping them, do like 10k (maybe more..you'd need to ask someone with level 5 exerience) per sub. I can't imagine that would be a 160, though.

mr.p Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 use some solid 1"thick birch and call it a day if weight is a concern. also maybe look intosome neo subs. Quote DCAUDIO BALLS DEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I say 2 18s with a lot of port you might run into power compression issues still with 13000 watts per 4xl also if it does not matter what frequency make sure the wall is braced to hell and sealed off completely and tune to around 50 to 55 hertz.however wait on clay to respond he is the expert when it comes to walls Quote TEAM GROUNDPOUNDERS INC. 156.5 OUT THE TRUNK OF A 95 CADDY W/1 SUB & 2AMPs score done on a termlab mic in the kick on the dash sealed was 154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
