Bronze Member Username: Mtite_dabeastPost Number: 38 Registered: Apr-06 | I bought a pair of Kicker S15L5's and a Hifonics BXi1206d pushing 1200w rms @ 1 ohm. I need a sealed box because thats the only way the subs will fit in my car. A friend told me the L5's are going to either rip or blow in no time because of the sealed box. A ported box wont fit in my trunk, and these speakers cost me $700 for the pair, so ne suggestions appreciated. Thanks |

Bronze Member Username: Mtite_dabeastPost Number: 39 Registered: Apr-06 | I got them at Hardcore Audio. they dont carry 15" speakers, so i had to have them ordered. i did get ripped because i just found a pair for 450 at da flea market. And marc... i have S15L5 4 ohm dvc. Circuit city told me they would make a box but it would cost about $400. I found a box that will fit for $54, but itz tiny. 16.5/34/13.5 crazy small. IDK wut to do. should i get this tiny box? or should i go for the custom box specifically for my car? |
