sealed 15"s

[Lschevelle 10+ year member]

OK heres the deal I went to quite a few audio shops today to price a box for two ported 15's and the answers that i go wasnt the ones i wanted. The only shop that was willing to do the work and told me they would fit is closing for renovation. so now im looking for some 15's that would work great sealed 15's or some that will work good in a small pored enclosure. Like i said in last thread i dont have an amp yet but im purchasing my whole system Monday. the max for each sub is $400...and yea im stuck on two 15's now even though everyone is going to suggest 12's

what kind of power range are you wanting to run?

 

[Lschevelle 10+ year member]

2500 at most

a pair of sa-15s on 2k would do pretty well

or ia Li's

04 impala the shop that told me it could work said that they will have to build the box in the trunk

 

[Phoenix Risen 10+ year member]

and that will be a pain, how will you be running the subs/ports

That impala trunk is kinda small for a 2-15 ported box.

You may be able to do 2-15 ported firing into the cabin, but not firing back.

I would recommend 2-12's over 2-15's if you want to fire back.

I run a Type R 15 sealed in my Jeep and it's a very clean sub that blends well with my front stage. I'm able to get loud with it too when I want to.

How will it be a pain? And why will I only be able to fire into the cabin?...i got a couple of recommendations for the xcon and sa-15 for small ported enclosures

to get the box the size you need will likely not give you enough space around to get the sound to the cabin and will make you car a rattle trap.

If you build a huge box in a small trunk and take up all the space, fire the subs/ports back.....yes, the trunk will rattle to hell and back.

But since you built the box so big, you will not get much airflow back into the cabin, and thus, less sound into the cabin.

After measuring the maximum area of the trunk what else do I have to subtract to get the exact about of trunk space

 

[Phoenix Risen 10+ year member]

measure max width height and depth, subtract 1.5'' from each and multiply, then divide by 1728 to get gross volume
