You going to need more than 600w to feed those TC3K, FYI

why not buy another amp it would be cheaper and you wouldnt notice a huge diffrence in diffrent subs with same amp...

id recommend A LOT more power on the 3k b4 the 15s.

it will probably be very happy with an orion 2500d on it = 2500 wrms

if the 3k stands for 3000 watts, your badly underpowering it and that is why your bass sounds weak,

bigger subs wont solve your problem.

i was tryin to get the most out of wat i got for now..eventualy i want to upgrade my alt and put some batteries in the trunk so i can go real loud..i dont think my electrical can take too much more without me starting to ruin stuff..i guess i might have to start saving so i can upgrade my electrical and run more watts

tc-3000=1000rms 1500 peak

tc-3000=1000rms 1500 peak

my bad,

maybe a pair of 15s will make you happy?

or a single 18 ported:veryhapp:

so maybe my question is would 2 15 inch cvrs or 2 15 incht1's on my 1206d hifonics hit harder than my 12 inch tc-3000..both ported

and would a hifonics 1206d even give 2 t1s enough rms..thier rated 600 and my amps 1200 i kno thats not really wat its givin

t1 like RF? definitly better woofers on the market.

The CVR sounds pretty good. I woudl get 1 15" and port it in as big of space as you have.

you might be able to do 2 MAW 15" in sealed boxes.

SSD - yes i do like recommending them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Cvr 15s ported will get pretty loud but I'm worried your trunk is a bit small to fit them properly.

 

[dride 10+ year member]

i was planning on this box http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7510_Sonic+Sub+Box-+2SV15.html im going to make something to that dimension to see if it will fit..if it does ther will probably be about 6 inches from the face of the subs to the trunk will that be enough

build you own box that prefab isn't going to help you out with more bass.
