What to do.

[kingcabon20s]

I've become unhappy with my current set up (4) cvr 15s (2) hifonics 1606's box is sealed. Kind of wanting to get away from the wall its my daily driver. So I have about 9 cubes to play with was thinking 4 sa 12s on my hifonics amp poss upgrading them to the 2610s down the rd or 3 sa 15s keepings the 1606s and adding 1 to have one on each sub. I would really like to do a ported box subs forwards port up. Any suggestions?

The 3 15s have more cone area, so id use them. I wouldn't run over 3.5k daily to them. The 3 1606s will be good, but ill recommend a SAZ-2500D or 3500D. Sundowns are WAY more efficient and put out more power at lower voltages (don't lose ~18% per volt)

ya id love to have amps like that but seeing that i can buy 3 hifonics 1600s for same price as the 1500 or 2000 its all i can do for now (maybe one day).. my voltage is very up to par currently have a 220 amp mechman a 3400 under the hood at the moment a 3100 in the back going to add another 3100 after first of the year my voltage doesnt get below 13.4-14.4 beating on it sits at 14.9-15.1 at idle. So your saying the 3 15s on 3 1606s will out perform the 4 12s on 2 2600s? I only have 9 cubes to play with port and sub displacement have to be figured into that as well.

Yes, I believe the 15s will out perform the 12s. Play around with Torres box calculator. If you can't fit the 15s, go with the 12s. The 4 12s don't require as much airspace

what car is this in that you only have 9 cubes for a wall?

hell we had over 20 cubes for my wall in my integra LOL.. did you seal it all the way off as well?

maybe run some better 15s/more power instead of changing the complete setup

I would seriously seal it off completely if you havent

[kingcabon20s]

its in the cab of my nissan i have 10 cube box now with the 4 15s i dont have the room to port it with that size box unless i did the 3 15s which it would have to be all rebuilt any way the box im wanting to run is not walled off i would do subs forward port up an would be about 8.75 cubes before port or displacements. it is completely sealed off.

[Team_DC-Derrick]

have you thought about switching out the CVRs? I never really liked those to be honest and i thought they were some of the lower stuff from kicker

maybe try 2 2606s and some better subs to see if you like it?

I dunno man, ive ran DC XL 15s in 2 cubes per sub sealed and they sounded awesome

[tristan560]

To be honest...run a better amp. I had 2 2610s and was not impressed with them AT ALL...

[TeamHT]

The amps are ok, you can do worse for the money, but truly, they are not something awesome. Have you looked into pioneer championships? A very dependable sub, cheap, and you can fit 8 in the space easy.

I would do the 3 15s, but i wouldnt do a 1600 watt per sub, they are rated for 600 watts you know?? Just cuz they a beastly little subs doesnt mean you shouldnt be smart with power. I would step up to the Z's
