Hey guys looking for some help. Going nuts here.
Currently have a Kicker ZX1000.1 amp pushing two 10" CompVT subs in sealed truck boxes. Now those were great in my Lightning but now I have a Subaru Outback and they just don't seem to be loud anymore. I am looking for something that gets loud but also sounds good. Mostly listen to rock but some rap as well. I used to have a 15" CVX in a sealed box in my Cherokee running off the ZX1000 amp and I liked that but wondering if there is better. Also had that sub in a 3ft cubed ported box at 32hz but it was kind of boomy and crappy with rock. Was insane with rap though.
40"x15"x15" is what I am able to use for space.
Was thinking about a 12" FI Q. Not sure if a single 12 will get louder and hit harder than my two tens? But at the same time the Q should be a MUCH better sub than my CompVTs. Cannot afford two fi subs.
What about it being ported? How would a ported 12" Q compare to my two tens? Will it work for rock?
Also was considering two 12" L5's in a sealed box? Worried about SQ with those though.
I am not changing amps. So need something that will work good with mine. Birthsheet says 1149 watts.
Any help is much appreciated!
Edit: What about two RE SE-x 12's in a sealed box? Those are a but more affordable so I could do two of those vs one FI Q...
