well if your going to be that picky. I got 5.925925925925926(out side)cf to work with, i think i want to port at 32hz..but not sure on that yet. And if your looking for what kind of music that would be rap. Oh and im looking for a daily sub.

Yeah chief, I'm not being picky; I'm trying to help you. Saying you want the best of something when it's 100% subjective is an impossible conversation to have. I'd look into the Fi BTL or the Audioque HDC line. Both will give you more room to add more power if you want to, but will still slam with what you've got.

look into the fi audio bl or btl. btl will be more power hungry but will get louder than the bl. also the re mt is a really good spl sub but not so much of a daily gorund punder. on only 1500 wrms i would say Fi BL. mine takes 1800 watts daily...
look me up on youtube. im theevilone343

mine does pretty good for daily?

i was talking accuracy and clarity wise. the BTL will be the loudest/ most clear sub your going to buy. the MT is more spl oriented, meaning it will do better at higher notes, compared to the BTL's ability to hit nasty numbers and still do greta on the sq side (for being that loud)

and to the OP if you want the next tim i head up to my parents place i drive right north of new hope on 94 to get to 169 and up. if you wanna meet up some where an i can show you what real 12" sub sounds like id be happy to do so. let me know in a pm.

ive had an mt 12 15 and 18. they sound fine for daily and hit the lows very nicely in a box tuned 35 or under, imo.

OP, simply flip a coin. Every sub you apply 1.5kw to will be loud, and it sounds like you aren't too concerned about .001dB differences. You want a loud system, work on the install - that's what will make the sub 'loud'.

about how much can u spend?

Pick one of the 20 brands you have to choose from, based on whatever you feel is important, cheapest, coolest looking, support, forum boner most expensive just so you can be a baller. Its your choice you have many companies to pick from who all have drivers that will do well with 1.5kw

Everyone will have personal favorites, id go with a Mach 5 IXL myself, because i know mark makes a quality driver and has funky pup dust caps.

If the OP takes anything away from this thread, this will be the most important //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

You can get just about any halfway decent sub loud, what matters is how long it stays that way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I mean, come on I can get an Insignia 12" to do a 148 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

that would be pretty much the perfect airspace for a pair of Funky Pup 12's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

just throwing it out there, if you have ~ 6 cubes net you have plenty of room to run an 18" nightshade, 4.5 ft ^3 net with 67.5 in^2 of port area (thats 15 in^2 per ft^3) with the port 21in long puts tuning ~33hz and the total with port is only 5.32 ft^2 figure .3 ft^3 for subwoofer displacement you should be right on the money...
