Maroon97SL Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thinking about selling my two twelves and upgrading to one 15 or one 18. First off my 12's are eclipse 87121.8 @ 8 ohms 300 rms each. I have a R500-1 rockford fosgate amp. What should i buy that would put these two 12's to shame but my amp could power? does 500x1 @ 2 ohms. Looking to downsize since i will be commuting more so i need less weight in my ass end.

Budget Build, I spent about 330$ for the setup. but its a crx, if you cant fart and do a 150 in a crx there is something wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugee81 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 NO if you dont want to spend a whole lot, i saw someone post a link to some audiopipe 15"s, those would prolly get the job done (and they look relatively light as compared to woofers from the mainstream companies here on this website) Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 But would ONE of them put my two twelves to shame? Hell no. I'd take one of your Eclipses over a L7 12 any day, to be honest. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon97SL Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I like my 12's but they just don't hit the lows for shit.

Boon Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Erm, how's your box look? Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon97SL Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Erm, how's your box look? Like an RT obcon prefab @ 38hz.. Now i called eclipse to get box specs and they only gave me sealed measurements, they don't recommend the subs in a ported box. Think it was 1.6 cubes per chamber for "boomy" bass.

Maroon97SL Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) I have had sealed boxes and for the most part they were OK for everyday listening, I did have one in my old Geo with two Audiobahns that sounded pretty good. I do like bandpass boxes for some odd reason and slot ported always seem to sound good. I wish i had the money to build a few boxes and find what i like, but money is tight and my first try would be my last for a while, I would hate to invest 150$ into making a box and it sound like shit.
