2000 mercury cougar. needs to be atleast a 154, thinkin of walling with 4 15's, maybe the HDC3 15's?? or 2 DD9515's or 1 RD superheavy weight?? lookin to have at LEAST 10k watts to push em
You could go with two hdc 18's that would be more cone area than four 12's and you wouldnt need anywhere near as much power. A third 18 could possibly be fit in the wall but im not sure how much room you have because im guessing the 18's probably need 5.00-5.50 cubic feet net each but if you could that would be a lot of cone area and even three of those 18's wouldnt need anywhere near 10,000 watts.
We have a competitor here in GA and he is using four 15" Alphas with two RF 4000bd's and he is doing a score like you want on music and still is able to listen to music.
He actually told me it has very good SQ for the setup and port size.
I would only use a single SHW or a HW if your goal is strictly SPL.
You could go two HW 15" on that power and still play daily music on 10k but if you go single sub on 10k it will be a burp car.
Well I know two hdc 12's did a 149 plus for us in a burp box without much testing on 3800 watts in a box under the window line so id guess four hdc 12's or 15's could do the trick in a wall for the score you want given the right power. My brothers 12 hw did 145 something in a daily box under the window line and that was around 3000 watts daily. And we didnt do any real testing with boxes for that either. Im still hesitant to recommend fi but as far as dd we had a dd 3512 and that did about a 145 to 146 I cant remember for sure in a burp box but that was on 1200 watts and I know that sub had more to give for sure because it wanted more power. And I have also heard them daily and they sound pretty decent and from what I hear the 95 series is pretty loud too as expected but the sq isnt the best from what M.S. told me.
Id look in the direction of dd too and go with 4 dd 3512 or 15's if you want more on the side of sq because ive seen 6 dd 3512's do 158 daily sealed up on the dash in a wall so 4 should do 154. If not and you want more spl and less sq go with the 9512's or 15's.
well i need to hit as high as possible i say atleast 154 because thats wat the guy im competing with for finals is doing right now, and i know he aint done before world finals =/
