I have 6kw coming, what sub/subs should I get?

[RAM_Designs 5,000+ posts]

Yes, it's one of those threads, the dreaded "what should I buy" threads. I'm looking for cheap spl subs to run off either one or two Crunch GP3000D Pro's. I'd like to stay below the window line, so about 10ft^3 after all displacement is what I have to work with. 4-6 12's or 3 15's are my first choices(Might be able to do 4 15's)...will be tuning low-mid 50's.

I'l thinking maybe some spl-x's, or some of those 12's on the PE buyout for $65 a piece. Suggest some subs you've used that surprised you...ones ones to be had for cheap that might do a good job with what I'm looking for. It's hard to come up with a lot of options by myself, so I need your help!

x2 what is gonna be ur exact budget for the subs??

First thing that comes to mine is AQ HDC3s or older HD3s if u can find them. Maybe a pair of RE MTs if u can find them, can handle 3k no problem.

ahh your from rockwall...thats cool. i grew up in commerce but moved to houston 7 years ago. rockwall has fvckin grown up since i left. still haven't been to that bass pro shops.

also to the OP.......i would go with 2 dc audio lvl 4 xl 18's. 10ft^3 is perfect and they would take the 3000 easily.

Yeah, I grew up in Rockwall from '87 to about 3 years ago when I moved to Denton. went from 7k people to about 35-40k now in those 20 years, but has really shot up the last 5-10 years.

The level 4 XL's are intriguing, I have a buddy who ran a pair of the 18's and they were pretty sick. I really don't want to spend a ton of money though...I like to do a lot with a little(money wise).

Budget is around 300-500 for now. I can grab 4 of those subs from PE for $260 shipped, or 6 for $390, so I may be going that route to try something different.

2 LVL4xl 18s would put up sum big numbers w/ 3k each in an SPL box.. In my Jetta w/ around 3k each(My Orion 2500Ds @ .5ohm each) i did a 150.8. That was in a daily box, subs firing into the cabin w/ a single 8" Aero.

 

W/ 2 18s you could do sum big numbers w/ that power... At a local event a saw a guy do a 152.4, TL @ dash drivers door open w/ a single 15" LVL4xl off 2kw in a burp box in a small SUV.

Yeah, I've seen them work well for a few people, so they're definitely an option.

might sound stupid for the power to potential ratio but what about like 4 used kicker solo-x 10's?

Even if u could find them cheap (like $250-300 each) that would be WAYYY over his budget listed... Plus Solo-Xs don't really shine w/ lower power amounts,

get like 4 of those pyle pro 21 " subs lol.

I was thinking maybe 3 15L7's...should handle the power for burps. And I can find them cheap sometimes on craigslist, if need be.

I can get three for $500...but then I'd have to wall my truck. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I'd love to play with them though, I'm just afraid I'll get let down in a big way.
