Two RE 8's in a T-Line box or a RE SR15 in a pre-fab box?

[DynamikT]

I was wondering which would be louder in terms of dB, im not worried too much about the sound quality. The t-line box would be a well made one, however where im from its not easy to get t-line boxes for 15" or any other sizes so, if you can help me with this, thanks. The pre-fab 15" box i have is an ordinary ported box with the slant back style.

I would say the 15s would meter well, if that is what you looking for, the 8s would only be impressive sounding in comparison to the 15s

I would only be using one 15" in the pre-fab box with a round port. The T-line is tuned to 30hz.

And where is the offer for a sub, out of your handcraft, Forevr?

Because the 8's would be tuned considerably lower, I would run the 15" in the prefab. It will get you higher #'s if you play a somewhat high frequency.

What i would like to know is if i play a test tone at 28 - 35 hz, which would most likely get louder without distorting or bottoming out?

T-lines tend to not do well on a meter, but their frequency response is very flat, where as a pre-fab ported box is most likely going to be tuned higher yielding better numbers at higher frequencies, and sacrificing some lowend response

I like my speakers to sound good, and prefab box with a high tuning is not my definition of sounding good.... I'd get the 15 and spend $40 on the supplies to build my own box for it. Not only would that be the best sounding of the 3 but you'd have a box built to fit your vehicle better, you'll gain some knowledge and experience, and you'll have a greater appreciation of this hobby we all love.

i had a SR15 ina 3.5cubes @38Hz on like 500W @4ohm and it was pretty good

Recognised the dub step sound straight away lol, thanks for the post and was that 500 rms you meant or 500 max? And is it an l ported box?
