New Setup?

[roudabout6]

Right now I have a Crescendo BC2000 and 2 XFL 12s wired at 1 ohm. They are in a box that is tuned to 33hz and 15in tall x 37in wide 21.5in deep. Is it worth my time to build a new box with 2 15s firing upward on the same amp? Would I notice a difference?

It's my understanding that firing up would decrease output.

i thought that all depends on vehicle. ive read SUVs sound better subs up port rear.

Got the 15's already or going to buy them? Can you fit 18s? Bigger box with more cone area will be louder.

I only have what I listed. I am willing to sell what I have to get something else but cant really buy a bigger amp since the bc2000 is pushing my alt right now hard even with 2 batteries after 1 song full tilt I see 13v - 13.5vs

Basically I am trying to get as louder as possible with the the amp I have now. I am willing to get new subs but want to keep the amp I have now.

So you can do 18s?

Using all of my trunk I have about 8 cubes before displacement. So I am thinking 15s max

What are you trying to spend on them and the new box? Or are you building the box yourself?

building the box myself and idk about my budget yet. With only 2k rms I didnt think I could get into too many expensive subs.

Cheapest solid option would be HDS315. Can do HDC315, which will give you room to do 4k amp later. You can do the AB XFLs again as well or some death rows.

Death rows are too expensive 400 for one is a bit much. I am liking the HDC315 but idk right now if I am going to go 4k later. So I would rather just get subs that will fit my amp.
