Silver Member Username: Teamdeboy1971OPTIDRIVE LN., TN Major Bass P... Post Number: 531 Registered: Nov-06 | Hello I am writing in regaurds to my 19 yr old son! He has a 1995 olds Cutlass Ciera 4 door with a back seat that will not lay down!! I know my son is more of an SPL type of guy you could say, maybe 70/30 SPL over SQ, but here's where we sit? We have a Pioneer HU with a .5 ohm stable Lanzar Opti2000d we were going to maybe go with a sub 300 or under! I thought a 15 would hit a little harder but with the amp we have a single 15 dvc 2x2 won't go to .5 I don't think! 2 -12" optidrives will wire down to .5 and they sound good, we have heard a set before in my car! So, with a trunk set-up will a single 15 hit harder than the 12's???? Thanks, always enjoy your comments! Ps. I had a guy going to sell me a MT RE 15 for 380 shipped on ebay, but you know how that works? I have also ran accross a 15" L7 DVC 2X2 250.00 WITH A 4.0cu ENCLOSER! And a BL 15 FOR UNDER 300! remember he likes SPL so besides getting a new car what can we do??????? HELP!! 15 OR 12X2 |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10872 Registered: Jun-04 | Here is more along the lines of what your looking for. A audioque hdc 15 dual 1 ohm these subs are rated 1000 rms but can take about 1300 rms easy and will get loud with a 40 hz tune. They are made for that kind of tune but will get lower than that by design. I saw one of these hit 141.9 db on 1000 watts daily tuned. You would set your amp gain with a digital multimeter for the 1300 watts. Go with 4 cubic feet after sub and port tuned to 40 hz. And give the sub 64 cubic inches of port. http://www.audioque.com/aq/HDCSeries.htm http://www.audioque.com/aq/order.htm |
