Already wanting louder.

[dudeogo]

My SA 15 is great, but y'all know how it goes. Gotta feed the addiction. I can't decide what I want to do next. Maybe just a beefier single 15. Can anyone recommend one that should be able to hit 145+ out of a trunk for less than 800 dollars? Wouldn't be opposed to 2 12s also. I feel like 2 15s is gonna be a mad squeeze in my trunk. But I'm sure I could get it in.

first sub that comes to mind for me is the SSA Evil for a single 15"

Good idea. Think that would hit close to a 150 on proper power?

Well getting a 150+ out if a trunk is a challenge in itself but if you got proper space/power/electrical I don't see why not or at least close but it won't happen over night. I'm doing the same but with 2 DC Xlm2 12s but was looking at the Evils as they would handle 7-9k a lot better.

Well I don't need above a 150. Just closer to it.

I did 145.1 (in the kick, door open) out of the trunk of my 4 door civic (trunk car) with a DC Audio Level 4 15 and a DC 2.0k amp.

For reference, I did a 139.9 with a SA-15 on a SAE-1000D. Only changes were sub, amp, and adding a battery. Used the same box. Got an unusually large gain...

Well I have a 3.6 cube (after all displacements including woofer) enclosure designed by CSCStang. So I'll definitely be using that. I'll give the level 4 or 5 a look also.

Might end up doing a DC XL 15

Def not a bad choice could see some improvements with that sub.

i'd go with the DC level 5 for sure. FOR sure.. And a taramps 8k. I wouldnt go with the evils at all unless you are willing to build a new box. SSA likes big boxes. Your box is on the smaller side i'd go with DC audio if you dont want to build another box.

Trunk wall if you want to get out of that 140 range.

140 range is fine with me. I'm assuming I'm 130s right now.

try moving the box closes to the trunk as possible around 4-6 inches away from the lip. Fold your rear seats down, roll down your front passenger window half way and keep your driver window up.

Also If you havent done so... fine tune your gain settings via temperature

My seats don't fold down :/

Going to be awfully tough to get anywhere remotely close to 150 without being able to fold seats down...

Or pretty expensive.

Just looked. I can take my rear seats out, but can't fold them down. Even then there's two metal bars that run across.
