change from 8 10s

How low do you consider low...?

getting low and loud is not going to be easy with a bunch of small drivers.

it does have to be real small speakers i am gonna put at 3000 watts to whatever system so basically i wanna be louder than my truck is now. i do 148s on the termlab i want something off the wall that will do at least 150s on music and sounds decent cause i aint a big sq type of person

177 of them would be loud. Think about it.

yea know shit i dont even think i could wire that many subs right now i am stuck between 4 15s, 6 12s, 12 8s or just designing a new box for my 8 10s

how about 1 high-power 10 off of that power in a 4th order bandpass? Lets say a DD 9510 as the sub (or HDC310, whatever). If built right, a 4th order bandpass would be unbelievably loud. No one would be able to see the sub tho (unless you have glass panels somewhere in the speakers

i always wanted to try that 4th order bandpass but how would you build it can you get me a design for lets say two 15s

a 2 15 4th order bandpass box would be huge, probably too big for most vehicles except large SUVs.

how about 6 1508's? off 3k watts would def have shock value assuming your dealing with someone who has no idea what DD is, but after work the car audio department at circuit city for only 2 weeks, i've given up on giving anyone the benefit of the doubt i assume 95% of people who believe they know car audio know nothing

do the dd 8's

ok off of an audiopipe ap30001d would 2 10s or 2 12s be able to fit in the back of a 05 trailblazer in a fourth order and do 150s on music

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

should fit. as for 150's, you'd have a lot of work to do to achieve that number. Maybe you should do a wall instead.

 

[nuboot 10+ year member]

ok now i am back to the drawing board i need about 2 dbs more to achieve my goal with music so lets go people

How about like 144 3" subs mounted isobaric? Or if you want to be more ordinary, you could do 80 5-1/4's. But then Id invert them or something, so the setup stands out from the crowd.

How about an array of 2's?

lolz

it would take like 150 of them to handle 3000 watts, you think trying to make a string of christmas lights work is hard???
