Hey, me and my buddy want to set up a 15 or 18" sub for marine application. The boat just has a 50hp engine and (i'd assume) not a large alternator. We're looking for a big sub that doesn't take a lot of power to get loud. Preferrable d4 so we can get the most out of a mono-block amp. I know it's not going to get very loud on a boat (open air application). The way we're going to have it setup it water shouldn't be a concern, although moisture could be...
Anyone got any suggestions? I've checked out SS rl-p 15" subs and they look nice, but i don't know if getting an amp to do 500w RMS on the supplied electrical could cause issues.
I'm (as usual) looking for something more SQ oriented that SPL, cause i know SPL is a moot point. Just looking for something to add a little oompf to the low end.
Thanks guys, as always, you rock!
Or is it an unreal expectation to get a sub that large with a high sensitivity...
