2 15s

I have a pair of ed 16ov2 that only need 2.2cuft per sub ported and take 1k each

After rise man, you could be ending up at 2-4 ohms unless you plan on wiring extremely low. Ever thought about trying a DSS Ethos 18? they only need 5 cubic feet net but a lot of port area, so replace the port with a bigger and longer one.

Dont those have huge wait time?

long wait time for them to be in stock, they head out to people pretty quick when orders are done.

one monster 15 in a high output box might get lower/louder than your 18 in a small box. Box efficiency > cone area

So what do you think I should do then? I am trying to keep that box or I can trade it for another box custom built since someone wants this one. I could do 2 of the daytons.

@blazian87 @Jeffdachef @gckless What would YOU do with 5.5 net space? What size and quantity woofers?

If you are going for lows, I'd put a woofer in there that would make full use of the airspace rather than a woofer barely getting enough airspace. Get something efficient too, the ZVX subs and most megarolls arent that efficient with power especially if you are going to just run it on a shark amp, you will need an extra efficient enclosure.

I had 2 15" in 5.5 with an 8" sono tube on 2200w. Sounded good (or so I thought). I realized I had a leak and the box was starting to get ugly so I rebuilt it. Now it's 11 cubes (I know you can't squeeze that on yours) on 1750w with 2 8" sono tube, and its at least twice as loud and hits the lows with athority. With that space I would do 2 monster 12"s on 2500-3Kw. That's what I would do if I went back to a 5.5 box.

I realize that it might be small for the enclsoure, but I don't know different if it would be gasping for air or not so idon't know right now.

I don't think I am going for lows that much compared to what you guys think of as lows so I don't know again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Since i've "been there, done that" with 2 15" in 5.5 I'm saying that me personally I would'nt do it again. That's just my opinion. Just wasn't enough room, and hearing what those 2 same 15"s sound like in the 11 cubes with less power compaired to the 5.5 cube, I can tell you that they were struggling/gasping/etc.

I gotcha. I might just keep my equipment and get a true amp and HO alternator or just keep what I have. Maybe like a taramps 3k or something along those lines.

I wouldnt hesitate to put a taramps 5k on that 18 in that small of a box.

Do you want the vehicle to shake/flex/hairtrick with ear fking bass? Or do you want people to get fked up/choked up/lung crushed/visions blurred

 

[Savackz]

I like how it shakes and I don't like high frequency bass. Heard a 40 hz and it was bad. I rather hair tricks.

So you tink upgrade electrical and power first?

LOVE me some Taramps. I had the 3K and now I'm thinking about selling my aq3500.1 to get the 5K.
