[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 2488106, member: 570956"] Well I don't really have the money to get a nice SQ setup, and I've basically got everything setup for SPL right now inadvertantly, so I'm trying to decide what I should do. I've got a Cadence ZRS-9 Amplifier, 1000W@2Ohm, 2000@1Ohm. The other speakers are just mid range sony's powered by a mid range sony amp, nothing special. I have an Audiobahn Eternal sub 12'' DVC 4 Ohm which I'm running 1000W to at 2Ohms. Basically...it's not that great right now. It gets decently loud, but nothing crazy, but my car has so many rattles that I can't tune anything for SQ. I'm also running a CarPC... What I'm thinking of is selling my Audiobahn, I think I can actually get about $170 for it and the box, and buying a Kicker '06 S15L7 and putting it in a big ported box. Ok now to the questions.... I know the S15L7 is rated at 1000W RMS, but I routinely here people talking about taking L7's way beyond their ratings with no problems. Should I buy the 4 Ohm version and give it 1000 RMS or could it hold up to 2000 RMS with the 2 Ohm version? Or if you think it's possible to decent SQ how would I go about doing this? My car rattles a ton, especially the rearview mirror. I've been thinking now for a long time I need to take it apart and fix that rattle, but there is all kinds of other shaking going on. Would deadening fix this, or would it not really do much since most of it is wiring bouncing around and such? How much does a decent deadening job cost on average? It's a mid size 4-door sedan so it's not a small car. I'm really leaning towards getting the 4 Ohm Kicker 15L7 in a ported box just for sheer loudness. If I want SQ for a song that doesn't need a ton of bass I can just turn down the sub volume lol [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
