adire brahma....maybe 3 12"ers. 369 each....very close to the W7 in SQ but it has an edge in SPL....but for half the price you cant beat it.

ok one more question. is it safe to hit down around the 15 htz range? that is about the range i'm going for if its safe to do so. i dont want to damage my speakers (expensive sons of *****es) but i love that ultra low bass. if it is safe how would i build a box to do it?

i think that an amp with a subsonic filter might block that out...but i still say go brahma! and if money is no problem....3 JL 1000/1s //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

15Hz????? Can humans hear 15Hz?? If you can, You'd probably rip your eardrums, with a modest volume... Geez, calm down Sylvester...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Hmm, aren't 2 15" enough? I mean, 3...wow... you'd have a darn hard time fitting in the enclosure too

well as you all probably know the new jl 1200.1 dont have s ubsonic filter but if that low of a frequency would damage my speakers i can pick up and inline subsonic filter.

what i'm doing for the enclosure is i have the bottom of my back wall in my truck cutout. i will be building the bow into the bed and having the speakers mounted where the back wall used to be right under the plexiglass window.

why go with such expensive subs and then such a cheap amp???????

Sounds really awesome... have you done installs with plexi before?

Hey, why not get a Zapco amp? A c90 or maybe the 4KW...now, THAT'd be awesome...

 

[rain377 10+ year member]

what amp would you recommend then? i want crisp clean power. i'm going a lot for SPL but mainly for SQ.

 

[rain377 10+ year member]

the box wont have any plexi just the windown on my truck will be all plexi to decrease the odd of me blowing them out. i'm thinking 1" mdf with a fiberglass front.

Orion HCCA's sound good... they can drop to 0.5ohm too...

Erm, PPI amps look just wicked...arc...McIntosh...hmm, that's about all I know, dont' know much, sorry...

Zapco has Symbilink balanced line outs...I believe you might get the SQ you're looking for...am I wrong, guys?

Well, with all that pressure inside the box, I can only hope that you tighten the 6937 screws as tight as you can...
