for only 1?, what size would you like, and are you looking for Sq, SQL or SPL, (sq=sound quality, sql sound quality loud, SPL really loud, but little SQ) any idea of what kind of amp you would like to be running or how many wats (if you dont know it is okay just say it please) thanks

then at the top of my mind i will say that you could use a Fi BTL from www.ficaraudio.com fully louded would be aroun 450, or if you want Great SQ with good SPL you could do 2 Fi Q 15" or great SPL with good SQ do the BL, from the same company, i have the Q great SQ and really loud, they are other options, like the RE subs, or the DD subs, Im not really familiar with their specs, just wait until tomorrow and im sure more people would help.

I don't know what can beat a AudioQue HD3 on 2000rms. Most other subs shine after, but for 2000rms the HD315 is a great choice.

People have put up to 4000rms on them. I'm going to put 3000rms on mines.

hd3 vs dd95
below 2000rms the hd3 is louder, after 2000rms the 95 is louder

btl
2000rms? It really shines after 2000rms.

bets bet....hd3 IMO <<< my opinion.

and they put 1000rms on the website due to warranty I believe.

what do u think is that best.

some subs have a big magnet and some have a higer Mount Depth.

so can i say a good sub has a bigger magnet and a higher Mount Depth.

of course we have to check the RMS power

first of all audiobahn SUCKS.. the kicker L7 is mostly SPL you wont really get any SQ out of that.. Soundstream is questionable.. Rockfords are usually mostly SPL

Here you go:

For $500-600 you could get a lot of amazing 15" Subs.

Even brands like SI, and DD are easily in your price range.

yea ebay suxs if u want good deals just ask around here i forget there names but we have sellers on here that can give u good prices

Go with what people are sayin audioque would shine better on 2000w if ur gonna give it more get a DD 9515 or a fi btl

The subs u listed pratically all sux JMO

u could also look at the RE audio MT i no it is almost 900 but im sure those sellers on here can get it cheaper if ur interested let me no and i will tell him

Jew... You really don't know what you are talking about 90% of the time. The RE MT would need twice as much power as the 9515 or the BTL...

That being said, I would go with a couple of Fi.Q's or an RE MX. A guy on this site can give you a very nice deal on an MX15..

Shoot Renegades Run a PM asking about them.

Reece, do you know of any place online to buy RE? I am just wondering what RE is selling for online these days. I know they are incredibly overpriced on that one site. But I am sure there are some authorized dealers selling online to make a little money on the side that would offer better prices.

Kanishka Somaratne if you are looking for sound quality and a very good punch get the Audioque HD3 15". In my opinion with 2000wrms you cant beat the HD3.

http://www.audioque.com/aq/HDSeries.htm

it will cost 360 shipped
get the dual 2ohm option to run it at 1ohm
or
get the dual 1ohm option to run it at 2ohm

Try the 2005 RE XXX or the new 2006 MX or a XXX if you can afford it.

Kanishka: With a $500-600 for a single 15", you can get something really nice. Make sure you take the time to pick out a good one.

"Go with what people are sayin audioque would shine better on 2000w if ur gonna give it more get a DD 9515 or a fi btl"

Okay so tell me if I'm wrong. I think you were saying that he should get the sub that sounds better with less watts because he doesn't have enough to feed the 95 and the BTL the 2500+ they need.

Then you said this:

"u could also look at the RE audio MT i no it is almost 900 but im sure those sellers on here can get it cheaper if ur interested let me no and i will tell him"

Did you know Scott Atwell (Owner or Fi) formally began RE and designed their subs. The BTL is pretty much an MT except the BTL is BETTER for daily. Meaning the MT needs even more than the BTL... That doesn't make sense at all...

As for the hornet's nest bit. A lot of people have ordered from hornet's nest and they have been satisfied.

Yea i no that Scott was the one that began RE audio

Sry my fault just b4 the Fi btl's came out or i even new about them the sub of my choice was the RE MT

Ever since FI has come out no one really mentions the word RE and that has been my fav brand 4 a while but ne ways

You could also wait for the new Ascendent Audio Drivers to come out and see what they gon have They are partnering wit the Scott Atwell

Scott Atwell + Chad Kuypers = Amazing Subs at affordable price

Most dealers can't give very good prices on the XXX so it's not even reasonable to carry them, especially when they can just order them if some highroller comes in. The XXX would still run you close to a G if not more...
