[QUOTE="tweekerz, post: 419412, member: 554151"] In my integra hatch I am currently running 2 12 Alpine Type Rs in 3.0 cu ft ported box with the port (I believe it is 12 in square port tuned to 50hz). I am powering them with 375watts each w/ my lanzar 1500d amp. These subs seem to distort at higher spl which i seem to listen to the most. They get very loud, don’t get me wrong but loose strength in the lower bass frequencies. Even with my seats down and it is still not loud enough which tells me i need to upgrade. I am looking for more SPL. My couz has 2 12 Kicker Solobaric L5s in a 4.5 cu ft vented box, there are 2 vents, one for each sub i guess in his hatch. Also using the Alpine CDA-9815. His setup sounds nice, F****** LOUD and clean. When I say clean I mean the bass does not distort at high excursion at all like mine. His system does not sound like there is an end to the volume limit. He is throwing 500watts to each w/ an audiobahn amp. I guess i am using his system as a reference and looking to have a system that knocks me off of my *** but is still pretty clean. Any recommendations on a sub amp combo? One 15 in a ported or vented box or sealed? 2 15's or 2 12's? Sorry for the novel here but i want to do it right this time. I heard good things about the L7s. [/QUOTE]
