Bronze Member Username: Angelofdeath132Iowa Usa Post Number: 26 Registered: May-04 | ok thanks for the input!! hypothetically speaking of course, i go with 1 Brahama 15" what do i power it with, secondly what kind of box do i put it in? (sealed,ported,etc.) listen to anything from 80's rock to todays Rap. want something that will shake the eyeballs loose from my head, will this be it? where can i find a site that "showcases" the Brahma? and is there a certain "model" i'm lookin for? |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 1586 Registered: May-04 | Get a 15" Brahma, stick it in a 4.0 cu ft net box tuned to 35 hz, and give it about 1000W RMS and it'll POUND. Make sure to run a subsonic filter, if you don't, then you'll need to run less power than that as the sub will reach full excursion below tuning. I'd down the power to around 700-800 if you run a low subsonic filter, say around 25 hz. You'll need one regardless if you want a ported box tuned for SQ/SPL. |

Bronze Member Username: Angelofdeath132Iowa Usa Post Number: 28 Registered: May-04 | pretty sure on the Brahama 15" as my "final answer" for the sub. lookin at the RF Power T10001bd for an amp. 1000x1 @ 1ohm. will that work ok for the amp? any other suggestions for type of box and size of box for max bass? oh yeah, do you think 1 15" will be enough bass? cause you know you can never have enough bass!!!;) |

As for the amp, i would get something a bit biger so your not running it at full all the time |

Bronze Member Username: Angelofdeath132Iowa Usa Post Number: 29 Registered: May-04 | what do you mean "get the box and the install right"? and what amp do you suggest if 1000x1 @1ohm isn't gonna be enough? what kind of box should i go with? |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 1603 Registered: May-04 | I would try to find a 2 channel that will put out 1000W bridged at 4 ohms. Try to find one with a subsonic filter as well. That'll run cooler and have more headroom than running an amp for a 1 ohm load. Then you could wire the voice coils in series for the 4 ohm load. I'd say with that 4.0 cu ft box, you could be around 150 db. So yes, it has the capability of blowing your eardrums and it'll pound harder than you'd ever want it to. |
