4kw + ~16 cubes...what subs?

[duece212 5,000+ posts]

Ok, picked up a memphis 4kw and have about 16 cubes in the back of my truck to use. What subs to use for daily and the occasional bassrace hopefully next year?

I've always wanted to do a big sealed setup...can't go too big with this power but maybe mediocre big. Was thinking maybe 3 mach5 ixl 18's, would have to run the amp at 1.3ohm but hopefully it would still push those woofers alright and be better on electrical.

Other option I've thought of is two AQ hdc318's.

Any other suggestions?

4 15's is a possibility, I've thought about 4 ixl15's sealed as well. I know ported will get me higher for bassrace, but a decent sealed setup would be great for movies in the car. I already dig my 2 se15's sealed for movies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Something like 4 sealed Q 18s would be pretty badass.

Unfortunately I'm a bit shy of the space to run 4 18's...would have to get close to a wall to make that happen and I need to see out the back window a bit, my truck is hard enough to drive as it is. Not being able to see out the back would ****. (read I'm a shitty driver)

I found the sdc2.5 15's to be a tough nut to crack when trying to model them in software. What enclosure do you recommend?

Edit:

NVM, 4 15's in 15 cubes @ 38Hz looks beefy.

Unfortunately I can't fit that with port and moofer displacement //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i'm surpised no ones mentioned 2 18 ported, i would say either HD3C or BTl, 4 15" BL or Q's, you could do 6 SSD 12's, 4 type argh 15's, 4 SX15's would be beastly, you could do 4 15" icons that would be loud and low, along the lines of the IXL's... 3 IXL18's at 1.33ohms would be NICEEE ported, nice and loww tune to 28-30hz, you like your movies that would be a sick movie setup as well as both loud and sound nice.

over all i'd go with

2 high power 18's at 2k each

3 medium power 18s

4 15's at 1k each

6 12's at 600-700 each

The EBP of 37.5 for those sdc2.5 15's actually supports a sealed enclosure.

15 cubes sealed on 4000 watts is looking pretty nice in software.

21" IA DP's.....!Nuff said.

No one mentioned it because OP did.

Yea whatever happened to getting the 21's, least thats what I thought you said you were gonna run just after you finished the last install.

Oh and you know there is always an excuse...

Wall it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

The 6 12's or 3 18's would be a sealed setup just for fun. The two hdc318's are definately on my mind, I dug the one I ran for awhile.

Word on the street is the AQ subs just don't perform sealed

Was going to do that 21 but just decided against it. I'm dumb like that...I change my mind alot. Been running two sealed se15's for awhile now instead.

I'm just not at the point to wall it yet...I'm still wearin my girl pants //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

If I get a toolbox in the back I can put batteries back there though and maybe gain a few more cubes to work with //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
