Well, ive searched, researched, asked around, and searched again, so i made a thread.. What does this sub need? ive been gettin mixed answers

Some say the 2.6 cubes at 34hz would be great, other tell me it needs 3.5 cubes..

tc woofers like small boxes so id say 2.5 for that 15 should work pretty decently

2.5 to 30-32 hz would be sweet.

4 cubes at 30Hz will have a monster peak down low. It does not like big boxes for flat response. You'll have to seal and EQ for that. Otherwise if loud is your priority, big boxes are not a problem.

i fed 2500w to my 18 before with a WAY too huge box and it still sounded nice. since you only have 2500w to work with id go with the 3.5cubs since thats slightly bigger than whats recommended for the 15. bigger boxes typically are a little more efficent so thatll work in your favor haveing 2500w to work with. 3.5 @ 34 Hz and it'll wang. i have about 3kw to work with and i have my 18 in 3.5@34Hz..........it wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnggggssss
