i currently got avalanche 15 in a 2.5 cube box powered by a tsunami GXA1000d in my 03 celica gt (think 2 door integra hatch if you dont know what i'm talking about) its not loud enough especially considering i had the same ish in a 95 nissan sentra in a 3.5 cube ported box @ 28hz foward firing with the trunk sealed off. I want something that looks really cool since this is going to be somewhat of a show car, is loud enough to give that "window rattle" effect (as there is a rattling sound with the bass but isn't the typical metal or plastic)has 3/4 of the sq of my current setup and is loud across the whole freqency response of course louder lowend than top but i'll get to what i mean in a minute. all my previous setups have been single, high exursion (20mm or more xmax 1way) and they all had the same shortcoming. loud as hell on the deep stuff but is like the "2 sony xplod 12" or 2 audiobahn se 12" in sealed and prefab bandpass box bullcrap all the lil high schoolers got on the higher end bass. as in i can play something like Young buck"shorty wanna ride" the speakerboxxx intro, andre 3000 "pink and blue" or the first and last song on the young jeezy cd and they will wang like all hell but something like lil waynes "go dj" is only as loud as said BS setups i posted earlier.
I will be powering it with a ed nine.1 my limitations are that its going in a hatchback compact so any enclosures that are like 4 cubes after the 1.5 cubes the port takes up are out of the question, i have to be able to some fiberglass work with it since a regular box just wont go with the rest of the car since the only thing regular or normal about it is the factory hp and torque) and budget is 500 bones after shipping. i was thinking maybe 4 aa assasin 12's but i'm worried whether i can get the required 4.5 cube enclosure and still have room to make it look pretty. i'm also considering the havoc 15 in a 3.5 cube@30hz enclosure and port it with a aero port/snake port hybrid. but i'm worried that it will still have the lackluster topend and only be loud on specific songs like my other single sub setups. i talked to chad and he said the havoc will still probally have more lowend that the 4 12's but i'm again worried about topend. i was think of just taking out the back seat and putting the 4 12's in since the rear seating space in this car is a joke anyway but its a hatch so i would need a way to isolate that hatch area from the rest of the cabin without obstructiong rear view (its already hard enough to see backing up with this car in the first place) and without any bastardazation or use of expanding foam ect of the car like i had to do with the sentra. so what are you guys suggestions for sub setups??
