[QUOTE="SilverSquared, post: 8711953, member: 565016"] Now we're here. The bottom end. I've been wanting more 15s for a long time. In 2017 I bought a pair of CVX 15s in a custom box for $300. Had them on a pair of DB DRive A7 1500s strapped. Sounded great until I started planning my next system. I bought a pair of Orion XTR amps. a 4000.1 and a 1700.4. I bought an Excessive Amperage alt and a 2nd alt bracket and ran that up front. The stocker is replaced with an upgraded 200a and the EA is a 270a. I do want to trade both and bracket for 1 bigger alt. But thats not important yet. I also have an XS Power D4700 in the bed and I have a 500 amp isolator relay under the hood. All 1/0 cables. For the subs, I wanted to go to 4-15s. Savard had just brought back the Rap 15s. Before they had, I was messaging them back and forth about release date, specs, cost, and all the good stuff. I was told $109 to $129 each. When they came out, it was $165 PLUS shipping. Mind you...I could drive 30 minutes to pick them up. They declined. So, I bought 4 American Bass XD 1522 for $480 shipped, brand new. Before shipping cost on the Raps, I saved $180. Shipping was $35 each. Again..I am 15 miles away from them. So...add that to the total. I saved $320 for subs in the same range of performance and specs. Now..the enclosure. I paid $50 for it from a guy who bought a storage unit. It's worth $5. It rattles like crazy. I cant turn this up much at all. I have a design I want to try, and will soon. But for now, I'll use this at lower volume. Its still decent though. But for $50. It's a good break-in enclosure. Due to its size, I couldnt think of where to mount my amps. So the 4k is in the rear driver's door, and the 4ch is in the rear passenger door. Will be changing that around a little bit pretty soon. Trim and all that. [/QUOTE]
