Who's got experience with these subs? How many did you have, what kind of box and what amp were you pushing it with?

Who wants to bet it was set up entirely wrong?

If I had a a 15' sub (ANY 15' sub) it had better be loud. Here I am running a tiny little 15 INCH sub....

im not saying it wasnt loud IT WAS LOUD like i said loud for my liking which means wasnt loud enough for ME and 2 12s is louder

I`ve been thinking of picking up a 15 R.A friend has one that i could get from him pretty cheap.

the 15's can get PLENTY loud when setup properly.

depending on application, louder than 2 12's.

and yes... ive used/installed all of the above.

Bottom Line.. I have a Kenwood KAC-X621 1200 Watt Max.. Go with the 2 12's or 1 15'... ANYONE HAVE INPUT...

what vehicle

they get loud as f*ck for $165 bucks a piece. ive seen two 15" type r's in a 1996 neon hit 154.7 in a sealed enclosure with 1000 watts a piece.(2 mrd m1001)

NEVER LOOK AT THE PEAK RATINGS!

Heres the actual ratings for that amp-

POWER RATINGS

- Bridged Power Output at 12V (1kHz, 0.5% THD): 400 Watts x 1

- Bridged Power Output at 14.4V (1kHz, 0.5% THD): 600 Watts x 1

you have 600 watts RMS at 4ohms to work with, so you need a 600 watts RMS 15 or 2 300 watt RMS 12's.

Keep in mind you need to be able to wire your subs for a 4ohm load.

A pair of 12's would need to be DVC 2ohm or SVC 8ohm.

A single 15 would need to be DVC 2ohm or SVC 4ohm.

Go with 2 12's if you have the space for the box, they have the potential to be louder.
