se 15"s could be louder?

Yea, the SEs are good. I have used several, all sizes and in all boxes. One of my favorite subs...

No way, not for SE's..... When I shrink the port and lower the tune from 40hz to 33 I go up instant 2.3 db. And I have had MANY people say the se's don't seem to meter if you tune them high. Perhaps the soft suspension. And man I have se's and honestly man they sound LOUD AS HELL. but don't seem to meter what it should. Mine don't meter any better than my pioneer 307's I use to have per amount of power. But for musical loud... WOW I love my se's. I do have to admit I kinda wish I went type R's just to get the score up some

at first everyone said to get kicker cvr 15''s and do them sealed, but i'm happy with the se's, and now knowing they can get louder....wow

Im sure u can clear 150 with them, and the reason Im following this is. One day I plan 4 15s in an SUV. So, I wanna see whats up..

my two 12" se's did 143.x off an AQ1200d. 4.5 cubes tuned to 28 though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif im sure you can do 150+ just upgrade your electrical and tweak the box. Mine always get louder lower. Try a 30 or 32 Hz tuning and give it another shot.

I once had 2 12s on 1500watts in a 4cf@32hz box and it flexed my windshield a bit.

i was wondering if i had enough port area, 2 8" for a pair seems low

Flared or not? If not, ya might go a little bigger for SPL. Box is gonna grow a lot though. If you want a loud low box with SE's, do a slot port, not exactly flared, but rounded over and smooth with 45s. Aim for 14 in^2 per cube, and try to do a common chamber, 15+ cubes tuned to 30. I'm sure you'll do 150 with that and your 2800 birthed zx.

How do ur SEs sound?

 

[Boomin_tahoe 5,000+ posts]

O I love them...loud even on little power. I'm gonna build a lower tuning box soon tho, exactly like the one pictured.

Nice box

Yea, built that thing over a yr. 1/2 ago. That box took me about 2 wks from start to finish. Double baffle front, where subs are mounted.
