4th, 6th order or a horn can get you the best of both worlds. You can still achieve the lows and push some air while hitting good numbers. The box size though is going to be the main issue.

I might be able to do a 4th but if I'm going that far I'll just wall it. I'm going to try to wall it in 2014 after I get back from a 10 month deployment. A pair of level 5 18s on a 7500. Bigger alt and add a few 3100s.

What question?

this one

so does that mean when i sacrificed airspace for port area on my 12s i got quieter? lol

I don't know, did you? I don't know jack about AQ, DD, AB subs.

wont have the box til sat. wont be in til the next week. i shrunk it from 3.8 @ 36hz to 3.3@33-34. went from 16 sq inches per cube to 18.2 per. soo.... i could just reverse mount them. that would gimmie an extra .37

Let us know how it works. I do know those subs like big boxes but put some power down and it should make up for it. If it don't work slap some DC goodness in there.

I can get more room. Up to 11 cubes. I just don't have the width to make 15s work. Everybody that knows DC subs knows to not go to much over specs. They can get just as loud as a big box sub without the big box. That's proven. I just have to find the efficient port and tuning that will give my ears what they are looking for and do a respectable number. I like what I hear now, it's nasty in the 30hz range. I know I'm going to lose some of that but I don't want to lose much of it. The 35hz box was fine, if the subs fired up on that one and it didn't flex like crazy it might of been ok.

I've seen great numbers from DC subs but I have not seen much in the way of efficiency. I'm sure there are builds out there but it seems that all the build logs I've seen are always throwing a butt load of power at them and only doing numbers I can do on half the power with cheaper subs.

This ^^^

What about a pair of super beefy 10s in a 4th order?

Or even quad 10s like someone already mentioned and mount them inverted

simple solution....

put TL mic in port... guaranteed over a 147

I'm going to try this efficient octo port. If it don't work I'll change it up. I can't add anymore power right now. I do love the low end with these subs though. I don't think many can do what they do down low.

It will do it in the kick but we don't do that here.

even at team pricing i cant make myself buy them. too rich and not enough stuff for me. sorry. its the 3k ive had. i may just invert them like i said.

I'd really like to see some more numbers of setups that peak fairly low with DC subs. I had 2 12" type r's(older version) doing 147's@36hz. I also had 1 DD3512 that would do 147's @35hz.

Just out of curiosity, how much power was on that 3512?
