anyone wanna help a noob?

i just have a few questions if anyone wouldnt mind answering.

i currently have 2 rf HE2 12's running off of about 300 watts a peice in a ported box of 3.5 cu tuned to 34 hertz

now im looking to upgrade, would it be better to get a single 15? max box volume i can do is 3.5, or should i go for a single 12? 2 12's? what would get the loudest and hit extremely low while at it and sound good?

i would get a new amp when getting a new sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

spend some time in the Subwoofer forums...try out Fi there CS seems to be topnotch.Mabe JL W3v3 dunno look around to see what you think you would like.

Also budget?

budget is basisically up to 600-700 for sub and amp, was thinking single 15 with like 1.5k power wise i suppose i could afford that ha. id go for more expensive depending on what it was and quality.

spl go for 15L7, with a zx1000.1 amp. you can get that for under your price range.

that's a nice setup in that pic dude, why don't you wanna keep that setup? 2 12's will be louder then a single 15 depending on the power and if it's ported or not, it varies...

Go with 2 12s. It doesn't look like you'll be able to fit a 15 anyway. Plus, you might want to save some trunk space.

2 12" Resonant Engineering SX subs. Thermal Power Handling is rated at 1000W each

I like 15" usually more than 12". Fi would be a good place to look, their stuff is pretty cheap and kicks some butt for the cashola.....

2 12"s would get lound and probably sound better.

WTF you talking about if them are 12s he can fit a 15 easy looks to have about 17" of space from ground to trunk lid by the space left on top and bottom of box and the fact that the box has about 2" before the top of the trunk.

if you can fit 2 12's your can fit a 15 in thier

15=15

2 12's=24

lol hmm is 15 bigger then 24 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

The 2 12"s aren't stacked on top of each other. Looking at the space between the box and the top of the trunk, a 15 might fit, but it would be pretty **** close.

2 12s in a trunk seems to work much better than a single 15.. i would check out si mags and a sundown audio amp
