Buying New Subs - ideas?

[Apoc 10+ year member]

Alright guys, I currently have 2 15" Adire Audio Tempest subwoofers. And, of course they are no longer adequate. I really love Adire and I am thinking about sticking with them through the upgrade. I'll let you guys know my thoughts and I want to know what you think about them. By the way, I am planning on spending around $1,000 on the upgrade.

1) Single Brahma 15" in a box built to fit from acoustic-visions.com

2) Two 12" Brahma's in a box built to fit from acoustic-visions.com

3) Single 12" Tumult but I would need to find a good box to put it in

4) Single 15" RE XXX but I would need to find a good box to put it in

5) 3 12" Shiva's but again I would need to find a good box

Let me know if you guys have other ideas. Oh, I would also need to know what kind of amp/s to run the setups!

That was supposed to be 3 shivas... and so far, the 2 brahmas sounds the best to me too

areyou going to go direct or to a dealer? IIRC the 15" brahmas were like 400 something each? why not get a pair of 15"s

single 15" Brahma...vented, tuned low, like 28-29 hz.

I like single sub setups //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
