Pure SQ subs for my application?

[Zylo 10+ year member]

Hello,

Well RIP GTOBRA //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I have a new 2003 F150 Supercab and it needs some boom //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Want to go full-blown SQ setup here.. but also want low-low-LOW extension as well. Don't want it loud, I want it deep.

I never bought the system for the GTOBRA, so I am hunting for everything at this moment.

Was thinking of:

1 15" Adire Brahma

1 15" RE XXX

2 12" JL 12W3v2's

or even a single 12" Brahma/XXX if it boils down to it..

Box size is flexible, I will be willing to change box size to increase SQ/extension if need be. Max size of 2 cu.ft, however.

This will be either a up or down firing sub, whichever sounds better in the truck.

Any suggestions guys??

Thanks!!

Out of your three choices there...the Brahma would be my selection - thats just me, however.

based on your criteria, it seems like you could take a brahma 12 or even a 10, and give it a big enough box to go as low as you want. You don't necessarily need a 15 to go low; you just need a big box. And since you said you don't need SPL at all, the 15 shouldn't be all that necessary.

My name on there is v12owner.

well out of the subs mentioned.....i suggest the brahma....however if it was my choice i'd say 2 adire audio shivas.....brahma is more of a sql sub imo

not from what I have heard, mostly an sq sub, the A and k are the sql subs are they not?

k = sq

o = sql

a = spl

at least thats been my understanding

I have heard that the Ed O is a pure SQ sub and the K and A are sql. Another subs not mentions for SQ would be maybe 2 10" Type-R's(I'm a fan) or possibly a 12" HC, heard HC's have some real nice SQ.

 

[shortman1984 10+ year member]

the K is definately SQL

it gets lound and sounds good doin it and the A get way louder and sounds good

i also heard the O series subs r made strictly for Sealed enclosures....now y would u have an SQL sub in a sealed enclosure...i mean im not genius but i believe a ported box will get u louder...and the A and K sounds great in a ported box and gets way loud

now im not saying the O's dont get loud but im not saying they do get loud i never heard one but i do have the new e10k's and they get loud and sound good

but i really want an e10A or e12A but maybe in the future lol

I wouldn't use a 15 in 2 cuft..

you're looking for low end extension.. from a sealed box.. that requires displacement ability.. and power handling.. (you'll want some good power)

I'd suggest

XXX 12"

Brahma 12"

A 12"

all 3 will do the job in 1-2 cuft sealed.. and would be the best overall bet

That's why their site has A listed as the "Audiophile..."



From your requirements I'd suggest the Brahma 15" and goose 'er... You should love the results...
