No sq ok! Just SPL

[macbethpoe]

Say I had a friend who has an Explorer. And he just cares about getting loud, he is concerned with sq only a very little bit. So say with 1500 watts, and quite a bit of room in the Explorer, what dual 15" setup should be ideal?

More wattage. You can get a good SQL setup, but without one HELL of a box, or some HELL of nice equipment, high *** SPL wont be accomplished with 1500w

I say nice ported box, two AudioQue HD15s, or XXX15s, Brahma 15s, or DD 9515s would do the trick

it can very well be done. given a good install someone should be very capable of hitting 150 db's in an explorer with 1500 watts rms. what is your budget? i would go for 2 sx's in a big *** ported box.

Well at least you knew what you were in for.

Still gave my personal opinions

And of them, AudioQue is extremely loud, and it is relatively cheap in price comparison. For a HD15 from AQ, you're looking about 380 shipped from AQ.

He isnt wanting to go over $200 per sub.

Note that I did add in "without one hell of a box"... which is kinda true. The install has plenty to do with it, sure. And I'm not saying it cant be done, but without fairly good knowledge of car audio, it aint happenin.

200/sub? 15L7's or 15" Type R's(they seem to be quite popular)

Then he better look at eBay L7s

 

[macbethpoe]

Yeah L7's is what I thought, probably the best choice.

Two 8500 Series MTX subs might do the trick and with 1500w, that's 750/sub and it's just about right for those, I think they're rated at 600w rms? And they run like 230-240 shipped, somewhere in there, I think.

hey can anyone tell me what i should go with for a SPL sub? i was thinking about an 18" RE MT or a 18" CSX Treo but i didnt know exactly what to go with. I have about 6500 watts to work with and i was just wondering what i should go with to make good numbers
