My dilema

Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 40 Registered: May-07 | alright so im done with JL, just not loud enough.. sold my 12w7 got 550, and ive still got the 1000/1, so we can either use the 1000/1 in our scenerio's or sell it and consider it as 500$ more, (ive already got buyers) alright so i just bought some cdt's 6.5's 150rms. i need an amp for those (please recoommend some) and im down at my audio guys house and he is getting me back into the mood for bass... So he throws 2 12" type R DV's in a slot pot box (not sure the dimensions but it wasnt much bigger then the sub) and we throw that in my truck... Ive been looking for LOUD, shake your adams apple, make you sick BASS, that doesnt sound like shiz either... So we get those two in and they are pretty loud (louder then the 12w7) and they definitley project farther (i like to be HEARD when i want to) So he wanted 420 for the two subs and the box, and he will throw in a cap... should i go with that? what should i go with? I am thinking about 15" are the 15" type r's any good? should i keep the 1000/1? what amp should i get (think 2 12"s or 2 15"s) now this is going in the back of a ext cab silverado (on the back seat, so ive got a far amount of room, but nothing huge. ive got a 200a alt on the way but that takes 200$ from the pie. let me know what you guys recommend, thanks |

Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 41 Registered: May-07 | thats a good deal, but i think i am going to go for 15's |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 42 Registered: May-07 | so ive been price comparing and looking around and im lookign heavily into the 15" Type R's they look like a cool sub to do inverted.. is that anywhere near as loud? also how many cu is needed for one? SQL, thanks |

Gold Member Username: Joebruce15 AQ HD3 Post Number: 1844 Registered: May-04 | Go with a 15" HDC3 and use your JL amp to power it. Throw it in a ported box tuned to 40hz and you'll be loud. www.audioque.com |

Silver Member Username: DuckaShelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 204 Registered: Jan-08 | You would probably want more power if you are going to run 2 15" type-r's (like between 1500 and 2000rms), but i think the 2 15" r's would be good and loud for the price. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14956 ^try not to pay more than that. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1202 Registered: Apr-07 | You'll want to get either another 1000/1, or an amp that will put out 2000rms if you go with the BLs or Qs. That's what I'd do, and try to give them 8ft net. Lower tuning will help you get the lows real good, but a higher tuning (32-38hz) will help you gain a bit more spl. I'd take the Q or BL 15 over the W7. Just me. |

Silver Member Username: Prozack52Cincinnati, 2-D615D4 Dia... Post Number: 247 Registered: Feb-08 | the new type r's are garbage lol if you can find some old school ones man those things pound |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 44 Registered: May-07 | thanks for the help guys... I like the Q's and the BL's but arent they a lot more than 200 a piece, thats about the price range i am looking at, it sounds like the type r 15's are the best bump for the buck... i think i will just sell the amp for 500, whats a good amp that will knock the sht out of those subs? lol about the picture, no i dont, i dont show my sht of or take pics of subs sitting on my back seat, its gone now anyways. i really thought that would be the SUB, i was a jl fanatic just look at my name, time for somethin new. |

Gold Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 1634 Registered: Oct-05 | Look into Mach5Audio Two MAW-15s would work well with your amp. |

Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 46 Registered: May-07 | how much are these woofers you guys are suggesting? and where? thanks |

Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 47 Registered: May-07 | okay so now its down to this 2 type-r 15's, 2 ssd 15's, or one loaded 18"btl thoughts? |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3414 Registered: Sep-06 | Hold on how many watts are you going to be using? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 48 Registered: May-07 | as many as 400-500 can get me, and i need to pick after i pick the subs, leaning towards a 2200D or memphis 2500... |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3415 Registered: Sep-06 | OK I see. I say FI SSD's. That AQ2200D is a steal for $389. |

Silver Member Username: SpankinurwoofersGR, MI US Post Number: 381 Registered: Nov-07 | for the CDT speakers, was that 150rms each? If so, my speakers are the same power(also CDT), and i'm powering them with a kx450.2 (150x2 @ 4 ohms)...got it for $110 NIB off ebay. |

Gold Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1729 Registered: Mar-05 | I would sh1t on myself for a 12W7 in a HO Box and a 1000/1. You are foolish, but thats JMO. |

Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 49 Registered: May-07 | cheese, i was right there with you before i got it, i DREAMED OF IT, but its just not as cool as they say, maybe it was my cabs dynamics (it was a lot louder in the back of an escalade i heard) but its just not that loud, ESPECIALLY at the price.. I think i am going to go with either the two type r 15's or the ssd 15's, my question is which AMP (include price) would be best to push BOTH type-R, or if i got the ssd's BOTH ssd's thanks |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Portland, Or Post Number: 3507 Registered: Jun-06 | Look into some Audioque sd2.5's also. They would be right around $200 shipped each. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jladam415Post Number: 52 Registered: May-07 | i would, but apart from the "i like" comments, ive really on see/heard the most from fi/type-r's (in this situation), so im sure thats the two it will be between... can anyone answer weather inverting the sub is louder/quieter then normal cone out... |
