Fi Audio, DC, Sundown, or Skar audio for 1500w rms?

Yeah that's all it gives. I was sketch on it. So where would you say to tune my box at for decent lows and still sound good when I wanna listen to my Rock music. I sometimes listen to rap rock and EDM all in the same day lol

looks like u have about 2.8 cf after wood port and sub disp.. and box is tuned to about 43hz (thats not for sq, more for spl comps not daily driving, i like 35hz, others here like 32hz).. so u just need a bigger, better box with some decent 12's really, or like guys said 1 15 in 4.5 cf box with lower tuning and u be happy

I can squeeze out the money for two skar audio DDX 15s and maybe seal those up for sq and still get low? Would that reduce so of the vibration or increase it?

well man doesn't much matter what subs u seal u will loose db compared to ported, maybe more at what your box is tuned at.. 15's have much more cone area so that will help i guess 2 15's sealed could come close to 2 12's ported and will be better for rock maybe., couple guys here have sealed subs.. @Papermaker85 should advise u..

Thanks for your input. I'm pretty sure those skars sealed call for 3.25 cuft. But I would love to say that I have two sundowns in my car [emoji4] I've heard two kicker 10s sealed but they were from early 2000s and I didn't know the power rating at the time. Seemed to hit pretty low and felt nice when all the windows were up. And I live in Colorado so windows up is 70% of my year

as far as ported goes if u listen to a lot of rock like me but also like deeper tracks u can do 37hz kinda happy medium but if mostly rock u better off with sealed i think., have to see what he says, i forget what subs he has but he builds subs so may have his own.. i called him when i listed his name (thats how u call someone to a thread), he just ain't here yet..

Try taking advice from someone who knows what the hell he is talking about... this is why I get so mad reading these threads... maybe someone else could advise you... instead of the local "post *****".. LOL!

if u tune lower u won't get much over 55hz but it'll play deeper won't be as loud though, rattle car apart more lol.. popwar on here cracked his windshield in 1000 pieces driving down the road., there's video..

Why does this guy keep on giving enclosure advice?... IDK why anyone listens to him anymore...

I think that was sarcasm because Papermaker is a know-it-all who has no actual results to back up his outlandish claims of expertise and is incapable of even typing a coherent sentence.

If you're planning to just throw something in a crappy prefab box go to Best Buy, at least you'll get a warranty when you break things you buy there. If you want to run sealed box you need to start shopping for a woofer that is actually designed to perform in a sealed box.

Otherwise you need to figure out exactly how much space you have to work with and get a proper box built and perhaps buy something decent to put into it.

I just re-read the thread... Please don't consider putting a pair of DDX 15's in a sealed box... those like to be ported...
