Operation Explorer

I have currently have 2 12" punch HX2's and a Concept 2400 mono block. I was wonderin if i got 2 more HX2's and the right box in my Explorer, if 155+ db's would be out of reach?

There was a guy at a stereo comp i went to that had 6 15" Punch HX2's in his tahoe, didn't break 150. Port 'em and then you'll have a better chance. Maybe that guy was just an idiot.

He must have been an idiot cuz in the last comp i entered i ran my 12's in a dual ported subzone box with a Profile CL1200 pushing them(which won't even max them out) and I hit 149.5 db's. But i was thinkin about gettin 2 dual subzone bandpass boxes, which i've been told are pretty bad *** boxes, and stack them on top of each other. what do you think?

if possible build your own and have the woofers facing up and the port facing the rear around 12 cubes should be nice

Skip the bandpass, any semi-serious competitor will laugh at you for having a bandpass box. Build a monster *** ported box for all 4 subs, then just start decimating people.

I know I'm from Nebraska, but thats the first time I've ever heard someone basicly tell me bandpass sux. But thanks for the info...I'll have to look into specs and stuff to build my own. About how much do you think it'll cost me to build a huge ported box?

Also, I was thinking about getting 2 15's instead of 2 more 12's. would that be stupid or a good idea for more SPL?
