[quote name='bgowdy31']in the right box yes it could be louder. im betting the other guys your refering to all have prefab boxes. my wife has a L7 15" in her focus on like 750rms and it does pretty well for what it is. good option would be a the newer HDC4 15, these subs are mosters. 1 of those in the right enlcosure on 2000watts rms would be very nice.
@NASTY08IMPALA;[/QUOTE]

would it take 2400 watts all day at 1 ohm cause thats what my amp is rated at. also which one is better audioqubed hdc4 15 or dad bd 15"? both on 2400 watts @ 1 ohm...

Get the ia lethal injections. Their 2013 stuff is badass

they look really nice and youtube shows that they are beasts but im thinking too much but idk im stuck between Lethals, DAD BD's and AudioQubed HDC4

Get 2 12s.. More cone area and motor force

lol the hdc4 will take WAY more power then 2400 that actually kind of under powering it. theres a guy @mlstrass; on here running i think 7k to 1 hdc4 18. between those 2 id go with the HDC4.

I'd go with 2 lethal injections if you can. Or some of the new obsidian v3 12s

those obsidians look nice and the price is great... worth the moey?

Definitely worth the money

I vote the Lethal Injections. New ratings are 1K each and all IA equipment is pretty substantially underrated. Best option for the budget and not too bad on space requirements. A 4cu box tuned to 32Hz should rock pretty hard and be amazing on the lows. Talk to @double 07 ; for an enclosure as giving the subs a proper home is really more important than picking the right subs in the first place.

IA Lethal Injection:

If you set the gain right then it will

okay so the choices are:

- DAD BD ... (1) 15" BD

- Obsidian ... (2) 12" - 15" v2

- Incriminator Audio (2) 12" Lethal Injections

- AudioQubed ... (1) 15" HDC4

- Sundown ... (2) SA-12's

they all fall into budget besides the IA lethals which im aware the IA are the best bet but kinda too much... i will think about the IA's but if i decide not to choose them what else would be the best bet? and that will also beat my competition. yes they are using pre fab boxes besides the guy with the (2) JBL 12's

i like 1 sub setups so my choice would be the HDC4 15 lol....

And that's your problem and greatest competition. If the guy who built the boxes for the JBL GTi knew what they were doing, you're really not going to stand a chance with any of these subs. You're talking about a true David & Goliath scenario there. best bet is to find something with superb low-end extension as that's really the only fight you're going to win against him.

So based on that, the two competitors on lows would be the HDC4 and LI. Or, if you're willing to do a single sub setup and spend a little more, look at doing a single 15" IA Death Row. About 3.2 cubes and 32Hz tune would work really well and would probably stand up against the JBL a lot more easily than the LIs.
