Opinions please....

Just curious why do you want passive? Also why 15" or 18"? The arent known for SQ nor can they keep up with most media? Whats your budget?
I'd like passive radiators to save on space and because going with a regular port (sometimes adds port noise) and I want it to sound as clean as possible. 15's and 18's can keep up and sound just as good as 10's and 12's. My budget is somewhere around $500-$600.

Two IDMAX sealed 1.5 each = Loud + SQ
I was thinking about those along with the JBL GTI's but I'm not sure they'll get around the 148dbs I'd like to get to.

luis just get a bunch of SA8's.....but really do option 2 and then if its not enough go to option 3
I have also thought about a lot of smaller subs but I don't know if 8's can get as low as low as I'd like. That vid is pretty badass though, I wonder how it sounds.

 
ya why passive? And yes he wants SQ what 15 or even 18" can accuratly keep up with SQ test media?

Those are strictly SPL subs though. I'm looking for really good SQ along with good power handling. I know it's hard to get those 2 things together but I'd like to get as close as possible. The Nightshade I've read sounds pretty good and the PSI's I know I can have custom built to sound pretty good.
WRONG. They are not strictly SPL. I run mine daily. Sounds great.

But id get the Nightshade or Death Penalty if you dont want a Warden.

 
bro as soon as we doo this update u will hear how low an SA8 will get;)
Can't wait to hear it. I know they get loud but we'll see how low it gets.

and the mach 5 sounds amazing 2, can be run daily easily, 2500 for the xcon would be fine but has 2 be clean.
Wow, I completely forgot about Mach 5. I wanted to try one out a while back.
