Best configuration N tight space

[OLDSCHOOLER]

I'm gonna knock the dust off my old Orion 2100 Hcca and hook it up in my civic someday soon. Back in the day I always had 15's. Would like to squeeze 2 15's into it, almost certainly have to use a sealed box, any suggestions for a 15 that works well with about 1.9ft^3? or would I be better off w/ 3 12's, 4 10's etc....?

if you are meaning 1 sub in 1.9^3 then an ascendant audio arsenal would be good. If you mean 2 subs in that amount of space maybe some image dynamics IDQ15s

thanks for the input....box will be approx 3.9ft^3 shared with multiple drivers, just what size and how many is what i'm trying to decide.

i've had problems recently figuring out if the Orion 2100 is 800@1ohm or 1600@1ohm? I thought it was 800 and was underrated so would put out 1000 but others seem to think its 1600@1ohm i don;t think it makes that much power. How much does it actually put out.

also what is your budget?

There's tons of good subs that come to mind.

just depends on the $$

Oh its definitly 1600x1 at 1ohm, but the majority of people that run 'em at 1ohm loads think that 160-180amp h/o alt and a spare autozone battery is sufficient, well its not. To get the full output out of it you really need a massive mobile power plant.

I inherited this baby from a good friend of mine who died tragically at the age of 26, (he's probably bumpin some 2-live crew out front of Saint Peter's crib right now!) anyway, he had it in a honda CRX running some 16" pioneers. My dad, of all people, was checking out the electrical upgrade the installer performed and suggested a dedicated charging system w/ dual interstate deep cycles, which he did. the difference was insane, the amp is truely a beast....and the beast must be fed properly to attain max output.

Oh yeah.... I dont really have a budget, within reason of course... I just wanna do this as sort of a tribute to my buddy, we have a party every year on june 6, the day he died, and I wanna have something crazy loud running off his 2100 to debut when I pull up

if you want to keep your box a pair of ascendant audio arsenal 15s would be good. They like around 2 cubic each sealed so that's close. If you want to build a new box choices are endless
