1500 rms and what sub?

[LuNaTiC 10+ year member]

I have a bx1500d and 6 cubes to work with. I'm willing to spend up to $500 for subs, maybe a lil more if it's worth it.

So the question is what would be the loudest sub for what i have? I know this is a noob question but theres sooo many friggen subs to consider i just wanted to know what you guys would suggest. I've been looking at.....

DP's

9515

xxx

brahma

(2) L7 15's

PBX

and i'm sure i forgot some others.

EDIT: it has to wire to 1 ohm, obviuosly.....

Well in theory two 15" l7's would have more cone area so therfore they would be louder, but you only have 6 cubes to work with, and to make these babys shine you would need like 8+ cubes.... As for the XXX and Brahma, they are the same sub, just different name on it.. so its all up to you on that choice.... i have heard good things about the DP's, they can get preaty dam loud... and whoever has the 9515 only talks about how great of a sub it is..... But i thought you were going with the 12 8's?? What happened to that??

well i recieved 2 of the 12's and 1 of them is fuked up. I've yet to recieve the other 10 and i cant seem to get ahold of the company i got it from. Has ne 1 ever ordered nething from sell2all off ebay?

Also, i might be able to squeeze in 7 cubes b4 ne displacements do u think that would be enuff for 2 l7 15's? maybe 12's?

so you guys think i should jus go wit 2 l7's or maybe l5? will there be a big spl difference between the 2 with the same watts and box?

the two L7s would be very good, but talk to Steve about the L5s he has them and loves them

Do you guys think i would lose out on some spl if i went with the l5's over the l7's? i can get the 5's alot cheaper

Vas is 2.391cuft. (67.715 liters) on the SonicFX Q15" . So if i put it in a 6 cube box it would act as if in infinite baffle, right? thats no good

are you really planning on competing ?

 

[LuNaTiC 10+ year member]

i dont plan on competing i jus want a loud setup, as loud as i can get with the watts and box size i have. so u think the 2 will be much diff?
