Project 150 db

[LuNaTiC 10+ year member]

Okay... Obviously projects like this have ceased to be exciting. I suppose I'll just have to go and buy some Pyramid 18's and make a box out of cardboard soaked in Elmers glue... And drive around town like tough shit... And go to Aldi and buy Ramen noodles...

sounds like a plan...

Also, did you say that you would spend up to 600 for jus the subs or altogether?

150db. With minamal/some sound quality. Without a wall. L7's a possibility, but would like to try Adire OR RE... Pretty simple. **** theres like 6 people viewing thjis page.

600 altogether on the subs and amp. Low, i know but from my experience more than enough to get the job done.

With the money you save buying the Pyramids, Id double wall that cardboard enclosure, just so you know its done right.

big box, big tuning, big displacement, decent amp, your good....

Also, ofcourse, decent knowledge.

150 dB without a wall is gonna be EXTREMELY tough. Especially for $600.

The best i could say is an SX 18" in a HUGE box (get a DVC 2 ohm version), and pick up a hifonics bx1500d or an eD nine.1

Or step it up in price and pick up two bx1500d's or two eD nine.1's and get a DVC 1 ohm version.

Those Pyramids are actually pretty expensive. At a hundred bucks apiece they are way too expensive to even think about, especially coming from a person who buys junk subs from the pawnshop and blows them up for fun, most of which are Pyramids. They usually dont last long...

Yikes. It's looking like the L7 option... Hifonics Brutus amps are 300 bucks plus! I didn't think I'd need that much power...

Without a wall you're going to.

Look at bumpin 'yota, 4 L7's and almost 9kw. He does a 150.9 on a TL.

Actually i just bought 1 for 250 shipped.

EDIT: Also if your going for 150+. You will need that much power.

That sure beats the 499 price on the Tempest!

Last time I checked, they were $150 each...? Don't need a lot of power, but do need some decent space to wang!

tumult is 499

Uh... Yea. Mybad... The names are too similar.

What if the budget were 5000? (Hypothetical)? What would I use?
