New member Username: Sloom08Somewere, Mississippi U.S. Post Number: 2 Registered: Jul-10 | I want a little help on upgrading my system, i was wondering if I should do 4 15" audioque sdc2.5 of 2 15" hdc3 subs on a audiopipe 3000.1? I have a dual 15" super pro bass box, and a ported box for 4 15s need a little help deciding which will be better! |

I guess it just depends on how much room you want to take up in your vehicle because a box for 4 15's would have to be pretty substantial. Either way you go, I'd get rid of the boxes you have and have someone build you custom enclosures. I hear that Bassman3 on this forum builds awesome enclosures and he is pretty reasonable on his pricing. |

Silver Member Username: M_kimmel843Post Number: 170 Registered: Apr-10 | Yes, I have. I owned one about 4 or so years ago! It was a decent box, I'm not going to lie. I'm just saying that if you can, have someone build you a nice custom enclosure. Pro boxes are alright but they are still not the same as a nice enclosure built to maximize the output of which ever woofer or woofers you choose. I wasn't trying to say they were bad, rather trying to give you more options for even more output. |

Yes you will need batteries, because without them your amp will fry. Honestly thought, unless you are competing and/or need a big battery power reserve for when your vehicle is off, just get a good High Output Alternator and the biggest/best battery you can fit under your hood. You may not even need extra batteries in the back this way you can fit your 4 15"s |

Silver Member Username: CwruckPost Number: 375 Registered: Feb-10 | i say get a different amp and go for 4 sdc 12's or 15s. a 300 amp alt would almost power your current amp, you may even need a batt to help with voltage drops when you crank the volume and really start pulling a ton of amps. nice ride, not gonna lie i would take it over mine! lol |
Gold Member Username: DeadrabitMarionville, MO Post Number: 2468 Registered: Jun-07 | i started out with 4 15s... a pair of 18s would be better for burps or spl. but 4 15s will "sound" louder because of cone area |
