Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 77 Registered: Apr-07 | 1 15 inch L7 in ported box or 2 12 inch L5's in a "kicker" ported box or 2 15 inch comp cvr's in a ported box? 1200 watt amp. Im goin for SPL. |

Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Audioque 12 SD2.5s, Earthquake P... Post Number: 1097 Registered: Dec-06 | ide say 2 L5's |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 78 Registered: Apr-07 | thats what i was thinkin, espically since they are in the "kicker" box. Im wonderin what to get if i sell mine. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2033 Registered: Jul-06 | L7 for SPL...... but I would take the CVRs just because the build quality sucks so bad on the square subs |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 79 Registered: Apr-07 | i see, how much louder is it if i make the box or have one custom build? |
|
Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Audioque 12 SD2.5s, Earthquake P... Post Number: 1100 Registered: Dec-06 | if you built the custom box right it would be like a "kicker" box |
|
Silver Member Username: Solobaric4lifePost Number: 643 Registered: Jan-07 | the 2 12's definetaly, they are loud , mine are still going good as new |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 378 Registered: May-06 | Get 2 12" Kicker CVX's, yea i said CVX, not CVR. CVX is 750rms each and the sub is compact and puts out quite a punch. U can't go wrong. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 80 Registered: Apr-07 | i have heard they are good, but square have more area so why get CVX? |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 385 Registered: May-06 | square subs are for females. |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 295 Registered: Jan-07 | i have 2 15" L7's and its not nearly enough for me...what your budget look like? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 81 Registered: Apr-07 | 250-300 for subs, 100 or less for box and 200 or a little more for amp. How are 2 15's not enough? |
|
Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 1005 Registered: Dec-06 | Don't get Keeker dude... |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 83 Registered: Apr-07 | huh? |
|
Silver Member Username: Solobaric4lifePost Number: 648 Registered: Jan-07 | "Get 2 12" Kicker CVX's, yea i said CVX, not CVR. CVX is 750rms each and the sub is compact and puts out quite a punch. U can't go wrong." now thats a different story, i would get the cvx's but dont buy cvr 12's please lol, not nearly loud enough for me |
|
Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 1007 Registered: Dec-06 | Dayum I thought everyone knew what Keeker was. OK lemme rephrase... DO NOT BUY KICKER SUBS, they are a joke, they suck, they fail, and they have the SQ of two dinosaurs f!cking. And there are at least 20 better choices you could make. Understand now? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 84 Registered: Apr-07 | oh, ok. how about FI subs? |
|
Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 1009 Registered: Dec-06 | Now you're talking... Fi would be an excellent choice. |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 464 Registered: Nov-05 | how about a DD 2512 dual 4 ohm. i think around 250, then u can build ur own box for 80 dollars easy. then zx750 for about 200. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 85 Registered: Apr-07 | I want SPL, but how different are the models they have? |
|
Gold Member Username: Snarl2004Audioque 12 SD2.5s, Earthquake P... Post Number: 1109 Registered: Dec-06 | try a 15" BL |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 86 Registered: Apr-07 | for $309 more i can get an 18, or 18 SSD for 239? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 87 Registered: Apr-07 | not more, just 309 for an 18 BL, my bad |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2047 Registered: Jul-06 | BTL from Fi is the way to go for affordable SPL..... |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4901 Registered: Jul-06 | whats your budget for a sub? and do you have an amp yet? if so what are the specs we are looking at? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 88 Registered: Apr-07 | that is a little out of my range and i couldnt afford an amp to power it. |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 469 Registered: Nov-05 | said he has 1200 watt amp but we need to know at what ohm?? |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 387 Registered: May-06 | If ur looking to get 2 12" subs, I have a box for that thats newly built ported and carpeted that I'll sell for $85 shipped. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 89 Registered: Apr-07 | not sure of the ohm and over 400 for a sub is too much. |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 388 Registered: May-06 | Just get 2 Type R's. You won't be disappointed. Or 2 CVX's. CVX is a great sub from kicker. The CVR's and L5's are junk. Or if you are looking to get 1 15" sub, I would recommend a FI Q if your looking for SQ or a FI BL if your looking for SPL. They are affordable and are excellent! You would need a 1000watt amp to power either of those. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 91 Registered: Apr-07 | how big is the box and is it for round or square subs? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4903 Registered: Jul-06 | we need to know the specs of the amp before we start naming him suggestions? name of amp? |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 390 Registered: May-06 | Knowing what ohm your amp is is the most crucial part. What is the make and model of it and maybe one of us can help. A FI Q and BI BL are only $279 shipped. I paid $231 shipped for 2 Alpine Type R's brand new, I could hook you up with that deal if your interested and that box too. Just let me know. |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 391 Registered: May-06 | the box is for square subs and is 5 cu ft. |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 392 Registered: May-06 | sh!t i said square, i meant round! ROUND ROUND ROUND!!!! NOT SQUARE, SH!T im dumb. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 92 Registered: Apr-07 | what is the length, depth and height? do you have pics? |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 93 Registered: Apr-07 | its ok dude! |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 393 Registered: May-06 | 36"x14.5"x16" Pix are on my other comp, let me run downstairs and post em. |

|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 94 Registered: Apr-07 | why are u sellin it? |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 299 Registered: Jan-07 | yea dont go kicker...i dont know how mine arent loud enough...i want to go from 2 15" L7's to a dd3515" but im pretty sure that i will just be gettin a a lot of SQ and loosing a lot of SPL. but yea kickers suck |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 395 Registered: May-06 | Because I have another box im building. I have been building boxes for fun, and it gives me insentive to make more if people are interested, that way I can make a few bucks. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 95 Registered: Apr-07 | a lot of people on here say that and that is what everyone at my school has but i guess i have never heard "good" subs |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 396 Registered: May-06 | But yea, if you want this box, then I can get u the hook ups on 2 Type R's for $231 shipped. Thats an awesome deal, considering 2 type R's normally cost $200 each + shipping. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 96 Registered: Apr-07 | so, 85 shipped? i live in OK, if that matters. |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 471 Registered: Nov-05 | jordan u wont be losing A LOT of spl by changin to dd. a guy in bass race is hitting 146.2 with one 3512. im sure you werent hitting that with those kickers ;) |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 472 Registered: Nov-05 | 3515 sorry |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 397 Registered: May-06 | zip code? I will check the postage tonight and make sure $85 shipped is doable. If I get the paypal tonight or tomorrow, it will be packaged up and sent on Monday. Thanks. |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 300 Registered: Jan-07 | i have no idea what i was hitting... but i do know i want more... |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 97 Registered: Apr-07 | 73036. im not sure if i want it, but i am very interested. |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 301 Registered: Jan-07 | ohhhh im sorry i thought you said that i will be loosing A LOT of SPL....so you think if I go from 2 15" L7's to 1 dd3515 it will be louder and clearer, assuming that i power them correctly and they are in a good enclosure? P.S. sorry for interrupting thread...my fault |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 398 Registered: May-06 | Yea shipping is about $20, but ill take care of that myself if you are truely interested. Let me know by tomorrow if you want it, because I am about to put it on ebay. |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 473 Registered: Nov-05 | i mean its hard to justify sayin 1 15 will be louder than 2 15's. but i can guarantee better sq and if u have nice box and enough power its def. possible to hit higher numbers. also smaller box and looks more impressive to have 1 sub hitting highass numbers. feel me |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 400 Registered: May-06 | If you avoid kickers completely and get 1 15, it will be affordable, but 2 15's will not be affordable. If you get 2 affordable 12" subs than you can find affordable, like those alpine I picked up for $231.00 shipped. If I were you, I would definitly get 2 12" Alpines, unless you can get 2 FI BL's, but thats about $600 just in subs, without a nice box. A nice box would be like $130.00 and then your $730 plus you would need a huge amp to power it, so if i were you TYPE R's ALL THE WAY! |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 302 Registered: Jan-07 | ya i feel ya JK thanks for the advice...ill prolly just get 2 3515's to make sure i will hit high numbers |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4905 Registered: Jul-06 | question...i dont mean to impend on your sale or anything john...but dont we need specs of his amp and the voice configs of your type rs to see if they will match up? or is he getting a new amp for them regardless? |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 401 Registered: May-06 | Its just the box, and depending on his amp, when time comes to buy the subs he can either get the 2 ohm version or the 4 ohm version. A box is a box. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 4908 Registered: Jul-06 | alrite i must have misread it...i thuoght he was buying your subs...honest mistake |
|
Silver Member Username: J_c_wheeler8Columbus, IN United States Post Number: 402 Registered: May-06 | oh ok, i probably said it wrong, I can lead him to a guy whose got them for $231 shipped if hes interested. You honestly can't beat that price, someone correct me if im wrong. |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 477 Registered: Nov-05 | jordan what kind of amp do you have or will buy to power the 3515's. you will need ATLEAST 2K to see them shine. 3K would be great n' 4K is ideal!! |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudblazerEl reno, Ok Post Number: 98 Registered: Apr-07 | you can go ahead and sell it on ebay, i have a system and i want to sell it and upgrade but i havent found a serious buyer though. |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 303 Registered: Jan-07 | Im planning on buying 2 3515's and then powering them with http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=5138 that's powering my 2 15" L7's now...then upgrade to a H/O alt and then get a better amp. |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 484 Registered: Nov-05 | big alt to handle a big amp. have any ideas on what amp or how much wattage your lookin to upgrade to? i know hornets nest has a big sale on memphis 4k's. i'm thiking aboput picking it up for mah 3512 then gettin another 35 later on n' runing them at 4k. |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 305 Registered: Jan-07 | I don't know what amp but eventually I will power them to the max, 2000w to each of them I believe. But for now I don't know...how much do the 4k amps cost? |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 491 Registered: Nov-05 | ive heard rumors of both 450 and 550? don't remember which at the time?? great price either way though |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 308 Registered: Jan-07 | Yea that's not too bad...is it a good amp, like does it feed a solid 4k? |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 494 Registered: Nov-05 | yyes sir. with a nice charging system you will most likely see more than 4K. Chad Lee has 2 of them running his btl's ask him for a review on them. i don't have any personal experience with them..... yet ;) |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 309 Registered: Jan-07 | well then i will prolly get one of those to power my 2 3515's... im not planning on doing a big 3 or anything tho |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 502 Registered: Nov-05 | do you have a ho alt? besides, big three costs like 15 bucks for wires and is pretty easy to do. i'd def. recommend it |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 310 Registered: Jan-07 | no i am gonna get a H/O alt once i get a new car. (prolly in the next few weeks)and i am pretty sure i cant do a big 3...how much does is cost to get a shop to do it |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2288 Registered: Jul-06 | "BTL from Fi is the way to go for affordable SPL....." I'd personally go with 2 15'' Kicker L7s for about the same price and hit higher numbers than the BTL with less power. |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 311 Registered: Jan-07 | kicker is so overrated IMO |
|
Silver Member Username: Gh0st_31FL USA Post Number: 430 Registered: May-06 | "I'd personally go with 2 15'' Kicker L7s for about the same price and hit higher numbers than the BTL with less power." Get louder but sound like poo while doing it. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2064 Registered: Jul-06 | Find out what the box is tuned to before you buy it!!!!!!!!!! I remember a thread about him building a box tuned to forty-some hz, if that's the one don't buy it, it will sound like crap! |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4166 Registered: Feb-06 | x2^^^ and it is the same box. |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2298 Registered: Jul-06 | "Get louder but sound like poo while doing it." The original thread creator said he was going for SPL.Ever sat in a car doing 160s?DDs even sound like crap when you get into those numbers. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 12466 Registered: Oct-05 | thats cause its a test tone played in a spl box. but i bet tommy's (ho problems)car sounds awesome when he is bassracing at 159db. |

Post Number: 2299 Registered: Jul-06 | "thats cause its a test tone played in a spl box. but i bet tommy's (ho problems)car sounds awesome when he is bassracing at 159db." Haha Chad,a 159 would be painful,I wonder if you could even sit through a full song with that As long as everything isn't rattling like crazy then it could/might sound good. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 12468 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah i wouldn't want to sit inside that thing. lol. it would be a good torture technique. |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2304 Registered: Jul-06 | Seriously though lol,do you think you could handle sitting in a car that loud for a whole song?I don't know if I could lol.The stomache ache would be fun too. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 12475 Registered: Oct-05 | did you see how many speakers he has in his doors too? i bet it keeps up with all that bass. maybe not. |
