RL-P15 vs. Current Set Up

[PhatTonyDeMarco 5,000+ posts]

I am getting bored with my current subs, and I was thinking of a single 15" sub for the next install. I am very happy with my current amp, so I plan on keeping it.. I want to spend $300 MAX shipped on a sub, would the RL-P15 fit my needs? What are the alternatives....?

Oh, and by the way, I am looking for something that will be louder than the HX2's, and I have around 4.5 cubes MAX for a box.

Okay, thats what I wanted to hear... What are my other options in that price range?

Also, I need something that comes in dual 2 VC config, so I can run my amp at 1 ohm. Unless the sub only needs around 600w RMS to run like a beast...

Suggestions fellas..........

i was thinking the same exact thing. how could 2 12" hx2s not be loud enough...

Do you want something louder, or something that sounds better?

Not that its not loud enough, I just get kind of bored with things after a bit. So I wanted to switch it up, and since I have already been through three seperate installs involving two 12's, I was thinking one 15. I would like dual 15's, but I just dont have the room to run them ported like I want. How about a 15XXX, would 1200w RMS be good to push that?

BTW, the HX2's are the Punch series, not Power.

I am pretty happy with how the HX2's sound, as I said I am not SQ oriented at all. I just want something different, louder would be good, but if something is AS loud as these I would be happy. I just do not want to lose SPL.

My rl-p is a lot more musical than my RF's were

Okay guys, how about a Mmats Dreadnaut? Someone is willing to trade my HX2's for one of THESE

I have seen the Juggernauts in action, and they are monsters. How do you guys think this will compare to my HX2's SPL and SQ wise? I have 1200w RMS to feed it, so it wont be a problem to power it, seeing as how it is 1000w RMS. Good or bad decision to trade?

Well, they sell it online from $450 on up, and I paid $180 shipped for my HX2's, think I should give it a shot? Anyone ever used one of these things?
