Why not?

It would be a waste to use great speakers in something that doesnt need much to get loud, just more of....and think of the cost issue with using like 10 good subs...be in the thousands whereas this is only a couple hundred bucks

Exactly. Plus, it's not going to be a permanent setup. I can't afford to take up all that space during the school year because I have to transport my stuff and my girlfriend's stuff to and from campus and home over breaks and the rare weekend. She already complains about the space that the 9515 takes up, and that's only around 6 cubes gross.

So I justify using Audiobahns because of the price/surface area ratio, the fact that I had a pair of the 12s before so I know they aren't as terrible as people think, and the idea that 10 10s on 2500+ watts should easily break 150.

maybe your box sucks? With your clamped power / woofer a 150+ should be a not a huge issue.

I don't disagree. But I just can't seem to get this Rodeo loud. I currently have it in 4.25 cubes tuned to 39 hz with around 100 sq in of port. Sub facing rear, port facing rear. I plan to keep this set up for the regular year.

However, I also contemplated a different box. 3.75 cubes net tuned to 38 hertz with 64 sq in of port, sub up, port back. But I don't know if it would any louder.

i have never played with a rodeo, but i am a huge fan of aero ports. Maybe something like sub up, port back. Its ALOT easier to tune and try new things when you have aeroports. Its a much cheaper option, and with a loud box, is very possible.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What frequency range are you planning on hitting 150 with?

I had not considered a frequency range. However, I do plan to use the setup for daily listening as well. Therefore, I'm not looking for anything tuned to 60 hz or anything.

But now that I think about it, I would like to break 150 in the 40 - 50 hz frequency range, preferably as close to 40 as possible just out of personal preference.

How much space are we looking at here?

 

[SeanDub 10+ year member]

Max gross cubic feet is around 16 cubic feet

So is there no clamshell theory?

I have done 2 similiar setups 1 with 6 Kicker comp 15's into the cab of a Ranger, and another with 8 12" DEI studios. 15's were in a V into the cab was built into a truck cap. And the 12's were in dual diamond 1 behind each headrest. The 15's moved the most air and would do consistent 155's on the Audiocontrol. The 12's would touch 150's but I believe their was some cancellation issues. Both setups were powered off the same 1200 watt Mmats amp. It is a good bang for the buck setup. I would suggest using woofers that require small sealed enclosures to help with cone control.

Meh, how's this look?





It's around 7.5 net, but a little bit less. I think it looks good and will work nice, if I end up doing this.
