I want some bump...but so many good subs to choose....

[Big-Cat 10+ year member]

Aright...i've got some money, but i want to keep the costs as low as possible. I've been researching for a long time now. I've decided i want mostly SPL, however, if i could get some SQ in there too it would only be a plus. I've narrowed my amp down to a jbl 1200.1. I've got an acura integra (hatchback //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif). Here are my choices:

(2) Shocker III 12's

(1) XXX 15

(1) Brahma 15

(1) Shocker X-Treme II 15

(2) Bp 1203

Now, my major problem is space. I DO NOT want to take out my back seat. So that leaves me with limited space. Actually, i'm not sure if i could fit a 3^3ft box back there, but i really don't know. So, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

With that amount of space, the Brahma is the way to go...

With the right amount of power and a ported box, yes.

so, by that logic, would the XXX not give him slightly better nubmers, all other things being equal?

Yes, BUT he has a 3.0 cuft space to work with and the Brahma is better for that small of a box...if it was 4-5 cubes, I would say XXX...

cool, thanks for the insight.

actually, you could save a little money, and do a ported brahma 12...that extra box space could go for bracing, and a big-arse port! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

id be willing to bet money that the 12 ported could more than give the 15 a run for its money, and you could always have swappable ports, so that you could do big numbers at comps, and still have good sq when you arent competing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you dont have room for 3 shiva's...thats a minimum 4.5 ft3...id seriously still reccomend a ported brahma 12. make it about 2.7 cubes tuned to 30 hz, and youll have good sound, with insane output.
