i amp going to go with cerwin vega vmax. i will either get 2 15s or 4 10s. what would be louder both would be in ported boxs. i was just a little concerned that 15s would be a little 2 boomy. would the 10s be low enough and very close in loudness to 2 15s. just describe the difference between the 2 please. this will be in a pathfinder if it makes a difference.
why not take the install an extra step and take out the plastic panals in the back, get some fireberglass and build a box for each 15 within the walls, then wrap it up with vinyle or carpet and it will look stock.....
ok how about this i have a fosgate 700s amp 350watts rms per channel. could i do 3 12s giving 1 350 watts and spliting the 2nd channel to give 175 to each other sub. would that work or would the difference in power mess up the sq. would i just be better off with 2 15s.
If you want to run 3 subs off the 700s you'd be best off utilizing 3 12 ohm(dual 6 ohm coils for example) subs. Bridging is the way to go for 3 subs on a two channel amp and for this amp you need to show it a 4 ohm load to get its max rated power(700 watts).
Three 12 ohm subs in parallel will give you that.
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ..... 1/Ri or
1/Req + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4
Req = 4
Beats me whether any Vegas come in 12 ohm versions. I know JL w0's and the old w6's do.
4 10's will be much louder than 2 15's. Not quite as low but will scream. I have a 98 pathfinder with 1 -12 and it will numb you. If you do 4 10's in a ported enclosure with the right power, you will be amazed in the SQ and SPL... Quality of the equipment will mattter though
