New member Username: Explorer_18Hayden, Idaho U.S. Post Number: 6 Registered: Oct-07 | I am debating between 2 JL Audio 18w3's or 4 15" CVR's. The JL subs are 4 ohm and the Kicker subs are 2 ohm. Either system I would have it connected to a Kicker ZX2500.1 amplifier. Also the enclosure will be a wall. This is going into a 98 Explorer. Any ideas/information on which subs would be the best sounding and loudest would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

With the cvr's you could do the voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel = 1 ohm load So I would go with the CVR's... gonna need electrical upgrades for that amp if you haven't all ready done so.

New member Username: Explorer_18Hayden, Idaho U.S. Post Number: 7 Registered: Oct-07 | My budget for the amp is $750. For the subs I was planning on a total of $800. I already have my electrical system upgraded. I have one JL 18 right now and was wondering if I should add another one or put the Kicker 15's in. What I was planning to do on the wiring to the amp for the JL's was just in a series instead of parallel so then the amp would be running them at 4 ohm stable, which would be 625 watts to each sub. I am open to other options for systems that would be better than this and still in my price range (total of $1600). Thanks. |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1245 Registered: May-07 | What about 4 15" Audioque SD2.5's? It'll be $600+shipping. |
New member Username: Explorer_18Hayden, Idaho U.S. Post Number: 8 Registered: Oct-07 | I have a 200 amp alternator and a yellow top battery just for the system. Where can the Audioque subs be purchased from? Thanks. |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3404 Registered: Sep-06 | 4 SD2.5 15" on a ZX2500.1 would be like whoa. Install is VERY important. |
New member Username: Explorer_18Hayden, Idaho U.S. Post Number: 10 Registered: Oct-07 | So would the Audioque subs be louder and still maintain sound quality compared to the JL and Kicker subs? I have never heard or seen the Audioque subs before. |
