Silver Member Username: BernymacRialto, CA United States Post Number: 656 Registered: Sep-04 | DrSmith has 1 15 in his Tahoe. He said it sounds as loud as his 2 15 or 2 12 cvx's or cvr's. But he's not evening giving his subwoofer full power. |

Gold Member Username: Cenus4, 20 Post Number: 2410 Registered: Jan-05 | i have 2 15's in my jeep, sounds great imo, although they are AA atlas's imo the best sq sub, but still most ppl like subs in suv's. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 3134 Registered: Dec-05 | i've 2 15s on a civic 2000 sedan, only 200w rms each and it rattles some things and sound pretty good. They're not that loud cuz they're getting 200w rms only |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 1391 Registered: Nov-05 | ^^ you should run outlaw on the kick.. get you closer to that 150 you want .. no suv here but i run a single RE SX 15" in the jetta.. gets loud and maintains more SQ than people would think . 145.7dB TL outlaw @ 42hz .. bigger numbers soon as i put 1800wrms to it and retune to 40hz |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 154 Registered: Feb-06 | Very tempting! So from what I'm hearing, it's better to spend more money in a GREAT single sub, than less money in 2 or more Average subs. Plus I guess the setup is a major part too. Hey DR, what's your cabin space for your Xterra? Do you have any pics? |

Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 155 Registered: Feb-06 | Ok Ok, I really think I'm going to replace my current setup REAL soon. Right now, after reading some reviews, I'm looking at the AudioQue SD2.5's. I honestly don't know what size I should go with though...12's or 15's, any thoughts for my Expo? |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 156 Registered: Feb-06 | I wouldn't mind going for the HD3's, they're just not in my budget right now. |
Silver Member Username: BernymacRialto, CA United States Post Number: 665 Registered: Sep-04 | Nothing was in my budget, but I said F! it and bought it anyways. Why, because I'll be happier in the long run =). Do it right the first time. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 157 Registered: Feb-06 | so those SD2.5's aren't a good choice? |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7748 Registered: Aug-05 | why wouldn't they be? |
Silver Member Username: BernymacRialto, CA United States Post Number: 666 Registered: Sep-04 | No, their a good choice IMO. But if your going to buy subwoofers, make sure you know how much your going to spend on amps. Those subwoofers can take 1000rms each from what I was told. HD3's can take 3000rms. So it depends, do you have money to spend on a amp to push a hd3? Of course you can push it with 1000rms but I don't think you'll be satisfied with that much power since it can handle more. But without a doubt, 1 15 hd3 or 2 sd2.5's will do better than your pioneers thats if you give them the right enclosure and power. IMO I would buy 1 15 HD3 with a 2000-2500rms amp, your pick. It'll be louder than your pioneers. If your happy, stay with 1. If your not, get another one and you'll be extra happy. But I'm sure 1 HD315 will be good in an explorer. Real good. |
Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 159 Registered: Feb-06 | just asking! bernyMac said "Do it right the first time." like installing the SD's wouldn't be the "right" thing to do. Maybe I just took it wrong. |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7749 Registered: Aug-05 | just b/c they can take 1000wRMS doesn't mean they NEED it to get loud. lol |

Silver Member Username: Devastation101Post Number: 161 Registered: Feb-06 | Thanks bM! Honestly though, I think I'll start off with the SD2.5's. If I start to really like the AQ line, I'll just throw those two in my Mazda MX-3, and then start to look at the HD3's. Thanks all for the ideas and stuff though. |
Silver Member Username: BernymacRialto, CA United States Post Number: 669 Registered: Sep-04 | no no, I was most likely replying to the fact that you said the hd3 wasn't in your budget range. So what I mean't was, why not save up some more so they can be. But be prepared, you'll definitely need to spend a whole lot more. Get 1 hd3 and you'll be safe IMO. but if you get two your going to spend a lottttttttt of money. like me. But, if the hd3's aren't in your budget range, then don't get them because you won't have much money to get a amp to power them. I think the aq sd2.5's will do you good. |

Silver Member Username: BernymacRialto, CA United States Post Number: 671 Registered: Sep-04 | Muddy - I'm aware that they don't need 1000rms to get loud. I'm sure they do fine at 800rms, and AQ says 500rms. But why say 500rms each and then have someone come tell me they can take 1000rms like I didn't know, and make me feel like a moron. So I mind as well state they can take 1000rms each, that is if he wanted to power them with that much power. Also I'm sure he has seen the specs on AQ site for the sd2.5's. He may or may of not have known they can take 1000rms each, instead of 500rms like AQ says. I was going to say something else but my brain f@rted :D. Just saying btw. |
