looking to hit mid 140's to low 150's with one sub. the sub can be either a 12 or a 15, but would rather stick with a 12. what subs do y'all think could do this?

was looking at the fi q and bl series, dd 9500 series, fosgate T2's, and mmats juggernauts, but still not sure what to do

Do you realize the power difference required to acheive that 7 db window? It's enormous. All things equal you need 2X power for every 3db increase.


BIG window lol.

I've seen a guy hitting 150 with a RE MT 15 and 4krms in a single cab with a blowthrough on burps. Not musical though, and expect lots of tuning and experimenting.

hate to be a jackazz, but adam, have you heard 150 db? I have never heard a 150 db system, but i don't think its just a matter of pickin uot a sub and hookin up some wire..

is your car sound deadened
is your electrical upgraded (and sufficiently)
is you amp powerful enough

1. If your driving around listening to 150dB music all the time your ears are taking a beating. Theres really no point in having anything that loud unless your doing comps.

2. You better do alot of mid and high upgrades if you actually want to be able to hear the music. At least 2 2ways or a powerful 3way up front. I was hitting around 146dB with my 4 15s playing music and had to use 2 6.5"s, 4", and a tweeter on each side just to hear the words. I also had 600wrms just for the front stage.

3. In order to hit 150 with 1 12 or 15 like you want to do, your box is going to have to be tuned for SPL. Theres really no way around it.

4. Make things easier... Get more power and add another sub if you really feel like hitting 150.

Memphis 4k's are ok I guess, 150 on one sub is extremely possible, all about setup... Polo.

BTW- Here is my backup amp...Nothing is mounted so don't say sh!t about the wiring!

Damn right a Memphis 4KW is OK when you got a IA40.1

Drop that IA40.1 down to .25ohm and see what kind of power that thing can make.

a single hdc312 on 1200w in a 2.5cf tuned at 35hz would get 143.xx, at least mine does on music, in my burp box its 147.xx on 2600w

Hey Joey, I really don't have to, it is on a 16V system (15.8V-18.3 fully charged), BatCap 8400 under the amp in the tire well ;) so at 1ohm it is more reliable BUT puttin out power like Lilrobs mama! :-O Polo..
