I’ve haven’t heard of Adhire, but that’s something I will definitely do some reasesrch on. Appreciate the recommendation.
.Jesus! Those B2s subs are MASSIVE. Absolute monsters! XMAX is the longest I’ve ever seen. Of course, that’s some of their top of the line model subs. I’m now looking at something in their lower power lines. Checking now as I’m writing this. I do like the fact that they have a lot of models that will accept sealed boxes with reasonable sizes.
A decent tuned and ported enclosure can be right at 2.0 Cu.Ft.@32htz for a nice 1k-1200rms 12. If you like snappy /punch bass, then you may have an interest in taking a look at Dayton Audio subs, that are the only ones in the business that carry a 5yr warranty on their subs, and are a nice contribution to SQ that packs a punch. CT Sounds Strato Series might be worth looking at for a 15 sealed application?

Talking about some more massive subs.. the GP TEAM AUDIO subs are pretty impressive as well.Ive never ran one myself. But ya. I still havent been to a sound off yet that they were present to demo. There are even some 21" subs available these days.But.. these will need be ported to run.Sorry guys, I had a iPhone mess up and didn’t get to finish my thoughts here. Yeah, on paper those B2s look like some MFs. Huge! I’ve checked out their amps on YouTube (I wear very good ear buds), and I know this doesn’t give it justice). Talk about some massive assed woofers. Jesus, I can’t get over that, but it would be overkill for me on certain models. ! I’m going to dive a little deeper. Some can handle 20K watts peak? I’m looking at their little more scaled down woofers. Hell I couldn’t lift them other wise. I’m an old bass head. After I went to the chiropractor, I might get a come-a-long or a crane.

They do make DVC4 and DVC2 Dayton subs to run in vehicles. Im old school. Ill still run some old AudioBahn AW1008T tens(4) or AW1006T tens. I still have those and they still get down pretty good for some 2000 yr subs. My favorites were the Kicker Still Water design 10s back in the day I ran sealed on 2-Autotek BTS 7300s(1 on each set of subs). That was a chest banger and eye movement setup back then. more power today and subs that can take more power and Xmax these days and cheaper by the watt
Just throwing some out there at you man. In the end.. Its your choice to get what you want for your money and what you feel that you will be happy with. Thats what counts man. we can make recommendations/ect, but its your application wants and needs and your vehicle and listening expectations and your hard money spent at the end of the day. There are some choices out there that exceed the name brands these days and quite a few bang for the buck as well. There are quite a few 12s that sound like a 15 and 10s that will slamm like 12s. Enclosure and tuning, vehicle, supply for the demand and direction are some of the main needs to get a sub to perform at theyre best these daysI’ve been hearing those Dayton’s were pretty good for car audio applications in a lot of forums and groups. Low distortion. Five year warranty is nice compared to today. I remember Rockford had like 3 years back in the day and were hand made in the USA. Of course, almost everything was…that was then, and this is now I’ve come to realize.
I’ve had several of their 6.5s and 8s on some home audio applications that I made. They were fine.
I really hadn’t considered them that much for car audio, but I did just look at them again the other day. Specs look pretty good. I’m not sure how they’re react in a car amplifier and a vehicle. I guess I could alway get one and use it for another home sub.
Definitely something to keep in my back pocket.
On the CT sounds, they just don’t look like they would be a good reliable longer term woofer IMHO. That’s probably just me being ignorant to the fact.
Man, don’t you wish Audiobahn was still in business. I never knew what happened to them. They had a head start on everything that’s newer in todays world. I really like Kicker as well. Hey man, did you see they’ve re-release those old type of woofers they had bac in the day. Those comp gold with the Kicker logo outlined. They’re lower in wattage though than I’d figured I would need. I might be wrong here as I often am.
