Brahma, RE XXX, or Solo Barics?

[thumpinblazr 10+ year member]

ok, here is the deal, my friend is wanting to have a decent mix of SPL/SQ, but leaning a little more towards SPL (maybe 40/60). He doesnt really have a whole lot of room because he owns a toyota truck, i would guess he has maybe 1.5 feet to the wall, then maybe 3.5 across the back to work with. We want to build a ported box that will take up the entire back of the truck.

my question is this: which would be loudest and still have some SQ

single 15" brahma

single 15" XXX

2-12" Solo Baric L5s

the amp is a MTX81000d which he has already bought.

I am leaning towards either the XXX or the Brahma simply because no one has them and he can have a smaller box than the solos.

any help would be greatly appreciated,

I would go with the re xxx, it gives out just that little bit more spl than it does SQ.

the brahmas

also an amazing sub, gives out that little bit more sq over the spl...more of a 60/40 sq/spl as opposed to the rexx 40/60 sq/spl

The two L5's would be the loudest. The XXX has good SPL/SQ more SPL. The Brahma has good SQ/SPL. The L5 needs a good install to have really good SQ but then would have more SPL that the other due to there 2 L5's than 1 of the other two

yup...good ol' grand poobah here had phenominal sq, but once you pulled the port out, OUCH!

what you can do is make the box so its tuned low with a port, and then be able to swap to a different port for spl. you got the best of both worlds then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

go with the l5's. Hit's hard and very reliable.
