Neo_frog Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Eh...depending on your experience you could save some money and run a LVL4XL on that power. None of those subs really come alive on only 3k. If you're insistent on a choice, go with the LVL5 or BTL. The SMD will sound sick as well, but it seems like a waste of money to only put 3k on it unless you plan on upgrading amps in the future. Hard to say, but my personal choice would be LVL5 having dealt with Fi/AA and DC subs. They are all great choices though. Good luck mang. Quote Need an install?

Beanz Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Id get any subs really there all good subs.Just go with the ones that you can get the cheapest for and go from there Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

chapo123 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 that smd wont even move that much on that amp lawl go with btl or lvl 5 Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 that smd wont even move that much on that amp lawl go with btl or lvl 5 You can any of those subs moving on 3k in the right box, buy a van and build a t-line 3k will then do justice.

Are you serious? 3k to a sub in a tline? Yeah not happening. Quote <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww.

Doubt you've built a t-line to make that kind of statement. And while the fact remains true that larger=more efficient, there's a point where the box will no longer support cone movement, and for only one 18, that's not very much. The ratio wouldn't play out.
