I am looking to replace my 2-12" Solo X's(require too much room for my Jeep) with 2 subs that will be happy with about 7.5-8 cu. ft total. SPL or SQL setup prefered. 12's or 15"s. They will be run off of 2- BXI2005D's (I know, I know) for now. I would like to get better TL #'s if I can.. Electrical is set for these amps.. Going in my 1999 Jeep Cherokee later this summer. Please leave any suggestions and I will do the research on the sub's that I am not familiar with.. If the amps are not enough power for the subs that yall recomend, It will be fine as I will upgrade when time is right... Thanks a lot guys! Budget is not real important.

Budget is not real important until you realize what all is on the market ;)

I would suggest just giving us a baseline to work with. If there was truly no budget, I'd tell you Audiopulse LMS Ultra's at $1400 retail per sub...see my point?

Audiopulse LMS ULTRA are not outta the question... But I thought they required more room(then I have) for max performance.. But I figured I would get called on the budget... so I'll go with $1200 or so.. Will look into ALL suggestions! thanks Exige Audio for the reply

2 ULTRA's actually need a max of 7 cu ft ported.

2 Audiopulse Axis 15's would work with your budget and available box size. Feel free to email me if interested.

If im correct those amps only put out like 1600rms @ 1ohm so get 2 15" RD audio Alphas for a nice little SQL setup. I dont think you have enough power to properly push an Axis, BTL, or SSX.

Those axis subs look nice, but I can't see paying that high price tag. I could see them selling for close to $1000 each, but $1400 seems like a lot to me. But for people where money isn't an option they would be cool to try out.

Here's one guy who will be using it shortly. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=318302&highlight=audiopulse

One of the posts in the thread though says quite a bit about the sub though :-) .... http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4691548&postcount=39

i dont mind under powering the subs a lil'. The amps will be replaced with about 4400-5000 wrms eventually.. I really need to free up space in my jeep. But was happy with the loudness of my Solo's 12 cu. ft.... No back seats

What buildhouse do they use for the axis subwoofers?

It looks like something TC Sounds would come out with. Just another LMS type driver.

hmm the ssx would be a great sub in my opinion.

also the hw v.2 would be a great sub for you. the new btl would be cool. even though i havent played with them, but if they are better then the v.1 then im sure they are badass. the re mt, is another great choice.

lol the axis isnt a lms driver. its a normal flatwind alum coil. that uses a 3hp motor. the lms coil is only used in the lms ultra, and lms5400. and quite a few older 3in subs. like the rls which is a modded 3hp motor. another slug was added to it.

I plan to use 2- AQ2200D

just wondering, but what type of electrical system do you have?

You do know it will cost close to a grand in electrical upgrades to run around 5000rms?

Just something to consider when picking out subs.

We could build you a nice flat wound version of an Alpha 15 if wanted :-) Not many of those out there yet, and a custom build. Will handle the 5K for later down the road as well.
