Hey everyone so i am looking at finalizing my decision to RE SE type subs....

they will be ran off an Audioque 1200D.

Should i go for the 15's or 12's. I only listen to rap really and i like it loud!

but i have had a bad experience with 15's, friend had a Acoustik Mofo and it didnt sound to my liking and it didn't hit any high bass, is that for all 15's or just cause that one sub is a piece of shit really. it was awful

Please help me 12's or 15's (RE SE)

the mofo's **** the big balls. if you have the room for 2 ported 15's then go for it, if not then 2 ported 12's will do well also.

Are you really comparing Power Acoustik to RE?

 

[ABNgang 10+ year member]

im not comparing it its just the only 15in ive heard in real life and it was so shitty...i just want to make the right choice and not be embarrased with not even being able to hit half the bass in songs....

i'd worry more about tuning my box and setting my amp correctly..

I agree with above....

It more or less depends on your friends subs, his box tuning, his amp crossover settings and bass boost frequencies, etc.

The objective is to get a box tuning that peaks decently low and then remains flat and even across the rest of the spectrum until your amplifier's crossover starts to slope the bass off and then your car's midrange picks up. He may have had a shitty box setup that peaked at an odd frequency and then went to shit in the rest of the bass range.

had NO probs getting the upper sub bass freqs outta my 15" SE. i had it in a 4 cu ft box at 34Hz, but if i could do it again, i think i would go 3.5 cu ft at 32. also a decent front end that can get down into the high 60s/low 70s helps!

if you have the room go for a pair of 15s, just make sure your shit is set up

kkk thanks guys would 3.5 cu ft at 32hz be the best?

i just want some loud good sounding subs

35-36HZ would be better on that wattage

kk thanks could someone help me with getting dimensions of the box so i could see if it would fit?

You know that's each sub, not for two right. So 7 cubes at 32-35hz for two 15's.

Something like this from the free box sticky would work, but it really depends on the vehicle:

7 cubes net at 35Hz 108"^sq of port.

Your friend with the MOFO would shit himself if he heard 2 re se's in that box off 1200w.
