Need Sub recommendation for 2500-3000 watts

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

I am just about done building my enclosure, which allows 2.66 cubes per side before sub displacement and is tuned to 34hz with the port plug in and 42-45hz with it out, I built this box for two orion h2 15's, but was just seeing if there is something else out there that would suit me. i will be running a orion 2500d at 0.5 ohms for ~2500-3000 rms. the h2 15's displace .48 so that leaves me just under orions recommendation of 2.25. want spl mainly, thought about 12" l7's but i dont think they will take the power. i am building a sort of wall in my car, i will have the trunk completly sealed from the cabin with the port/subs firing into the car. so looking for recommendations for:

2500-3000 rms

2.66 cubes per side b4 sub displacement

tunes to 34hz daily, 42-45hz competition

firing into car and clearing visible(otherwise want them to look nice)

budget $500

don't think 2500 watts would be enough for two mt's, and i don't knwo if i could get two for under $500. i need two subs because my enclosure is already being built. thanks for the suggestion though

id say stick with the h2's or mabe 15"L7s ran at 1 ohm instead of .5?

N/m didnt see that the box was already being made

why didnt you just pick the best sub for your application in the first place? why do people ask these questions after they have already ordered? its time to get a mt and build a new box B|TCH.

i have not ordered anything yet.

this is the biggest one piece box i can get in my trunk. I designed this box for orion h2's, but wanted to see if something else was available that works in smaller boxes. I don' want to run a single sub set-up either

mybe only cut one hole in your box? then mt?

 

[Chriscivic 10+ year member]

i don't think that would work too well with the port in the middle and the way my trunk is, the port could not be on all the way to one side
