15" that likes small, ported box?

[528hz 10+ year member]

I'm looking to put 2 15s" in a 6.5 cf box after port and sub displacement, and put about 4k to 'em total.

Any suggestions?

I know Nightshades, DC LVL 4 XLs, LMS have been listed. Just looking for more options.

What about AQ HDC3s?

I'd go for the nightshades.....They like SMALL boxes & can take the power you want to put to them the only problem is that v1 is not being made anymore and I have no Idea on the specs on the V.2. Audiopulse Axis's should take the power just fine as well and they like extremely small boxes as well... Sundown Z V.2 is another good option.

Can anyone else give me some more suggestions?

Those Nightshades are cool.

that box isnt small at all bro, my comp box for a 15" is 2.5cf net.

almost any 15" out there will work great in that size box as long as there is enough port area...

Even for the HDC3s? I've been getting told that 8 cubes is the minimum I can go with 2 6" aero ports. I just bought some HDC3s thinking I can get away with it...

the sundown zv.2 will like your space as well

hdc3 15s work well in 3-4.5 cubes each. you'll need 16 square inches of port per cube. like said tho with that much space almost any pair of 15s will work.

Thanks a lot for the input! Do you know this from experience? I just keep getting told that 8 cubes is the minimum. This is a daily driver and I'd like to keep them pretty flat responding.

I just bought some before I REALLY looked into what I could work with.

I think you'll be good with 6.5 cubes and 4000 watts. That'll be 104 sq in of port, or two 8" ports will be close.

I'd rather have te nightshades tho

8cf and 4k you will break a glue joint on the hdc3.

3.25ft^3 each is a little on the small side for the HDC, but you have the power to make up for it...no worries IMO.

aq' dont like less then 4cuft i tried to cram one into 3.5 and it sounded horrible.

id go for sundown though they are made to slam in smaller enclosures.
