Want to go Louder

[Icecube91]

I currently have 2 10" JL Audio W6v3 in 2cubes tuned to 30hertz and running off a JL Audio HD1200. I would like to get louder and also hit the lows a lot harder. Im thinking about getting a new setup that will be a bigger box and more power. These are the options below let me know your opinion.

2 10" Alpine X series in a 3 cubic box tuned to 32 hertz running off 1500-1800RMS

1 12" MTX 9500 in a 2.75 cubic box tuned to 32 hertz running off 1500-1600RMS

Last option I am not to sure as maybe the box will be too small.

You'll need to double cone area or power or both. 

None of those options you listed do that.

You're limited by electrical correct?... find a pair of 12's that'll perform on your power and build another enclosure.

12s are kind of hard to fit unless I can find something that will work 3 cubes net

buy new gear.   get a 3k and a sick 10, 12 or 15. or two 10s, two 12s on 3 k.    I would get a single 12 that can take the 3k, build a sick ported box and a 3k amp with a second or more battery.

You could do 4 10s in a box with the same tuning on double your current power. 

side firing subs, 2 per side, as big of a box as you can fit while allowing about 3in on either side for the subs to load and a big 6-8 inch aeroport rear firing. 

I metered a guys 2 door grand am with 4 xfl tens on 2 vfl audio 4480 mono amps, probably 2200w rms, box was tuned to 34hz and it did 148db on music and played pretty flat down to 146 at 30hz.

I dont want to give up my whole trunk. I work on it some more tonight. I think my JL Audio Fix86 is whats causing it  not to slam. First its not calibrating properly and second I think the Fix86 isnt sending my amp a good signal. I did a test where I took the RCAs out and did RCAs to headphone jack and I played music and it played soo much better.

On a side note if I did change woofers the  2 10s Alpine X would be louder but the single 12 MTX would play the deeper bass a lot better?

You will only have minimal (inaudible) gains unless you either double the cone area or double the power. The alpine x 10s wont be any louder and the 12 will be less loud.

I use to have a 13w7 in my car running off the same amp. It wasnt as loud but it hit the low notes better. Maybe going a bigger box will help with deeper bass? Its in 2 cubes net right now so 1 cubes a sub. Was thinking of maybe doing 1.25 - 1.5 per woofer? Any recommendations?

My W6s are on 1200RMS total. If I run the Alpine Xs Ill put 1800-2000 RMS total. So its almost double?

The x 10s aren't as efficienct as the 10w6s so the extra power is needed for them to equal the loudness of the 10w6s. Adding 50% more power to less efficient subs won't get you anywhere if you want audible gains.

Does it show on the t/s parmeters how efficient a subwoofer is?? I wanna go a lot of research before switching anything
