I have a Precision Power PPI BA5000.1D amplifier. A stock electrical system. And a custom box for a 10' subwoofer tuned to 32hz. I had an Orion HCCA 10.2 but I think that I wasn't giving it the power it deserved. What do you think would be the best SPL sub or subs I could get? I was looking at maybe doing 2 12's or 2 10's idk but I need more bass than what I had. I don't think it was the subs fault but I cant find a HOA for my car so the electrical has to be stock or doable with the big 3 upgrade. I have welding wire grounded and powered to the battery going to the amp. 4 gauge welding wire so its ofc. Just looking for something that's super loud and around $500. I can get a box made or make one but The sub or subs themselves need to be around $500. Any ideas?

I love your location. Went there for 1st time last year and later on actually got rained on, pretty hard lol. That would be my 3rd time in FL.

I'd say 2 12's if you want loud. What vehicle?

RE isn't what it used to be, not that they're bad subs. id go with the cab ultra's just because of how brutally loud ive heard they can be.

take the rms numbers as a grain of salt, and more of a marketing thing. things arent standardized as much as you may be used to in aviation

honestly one nice 15 with 2-3kw rms will be plenty loud ive been more than content with a single 15 setup but im also at a much higher power level

if there was more data id tell you to get this: http://www.ficaraudio.com/

but im a sucker for fi. any data on it yet @Jeffdachef ?

doubt it., probably play h*ll on headlights.. do big 3 if u gonna run that power, but u ain't gotta run all of it get more efficent sub.. i'm trying to stay 800 rms or less, my car 13 yrs old with valve cover leak (recall on it so will be fixed free) i already need a new battery trying to kill this one totally so i can save some $ with warranty and as i've said i'm lazy and don't wanta run wires under my hood, battery right beside supercharger pulley and radiator., to much like work..

We've already answered this thread before bud. The amp only does 1200 rms at best. I'd actually keep the sub, scrap the amp and get a good box along with beefing up your electrical system.

Because whatever you are trying to do, its waste of money

Unless you just want us to say what you want to hear.... Again if your orion 10 is doing this, Its completely your install thats at fault. That ppi is a craptastic amp at best.
