Uh oh, if you're not doing this for youself and just for others around you it will never be loud enough.

You're just putting a sub in your vehicle to annoy others?

ya put it in a nice ported box and should be pretty loud. i got one 15 running off 400 RMS right now till i get my other amp in and its pretty good for 400 watts. rattles the trunk allot, but that may be becuase its up firing. but i got sound deadener on the to do list.

okay cool man. Does anyone have any suggestions as to size of ported box? Should i go with what it says on there website (3 cubic feet, tuned to 35hz), or something else?

I saw your other thread. Are you keeping the same amp?

If so, I would go with (2) 12" RE SRs, they would get louder than 1 SE 15" and they're louder than PRs btw. and sound nicer.

I assume i would wire them down to 1ohm...would that give each sub 300w rms or 600w rms?
