[QUOTE="ancorp, post: 7653313, member: 633405"] Hey folks. I've been running a DD 2515a for a bit now. I have it in 3.8 cubes (after port and woofer displacement, otherwise 4.35 cubes) with around a 34hz tune. I feel the response is kinda peaky. I have a Mazda 3 sedan, so the trunk opening is pretty small. The box couldn't really be much bigger then that to comfortably fit into the opening. I recently picked up a pair of JL 12w6v2 subs. I intend to build a to spec (or bigger) box, 3-4 cubes at 32hz. I figure with limitations on space, I would be better off with two 12s then one 15. But replacing the DD with two JLs, am I making a mistake, or would I see an improvement in both sound quality and louder output? From threads I've searched up on google, there are many people that hate JLs and love non mainstream brands, and would say DD over JL any day. But I'd love to hear your opinion. Currently the DD is running at 730w (at best) off a Kaption D1000.1 at 2 ohms. I intend to replace the amplifier with a Clarion that does 1500 at 2 or 1, I just haven't gotten around to buying 0/1 guage wiring and a gel battery to help run it.
