louder or as loud as a SX or XXX? i dont really know, ive never had experience with a SX, xxx, brahma, idmax, MT, MAG, anything on that level....... i did have a SE 15 , didnt thrill me that much, im not to concerned about SQ really, but i heard the brahma has nice SPL...... and i just want it to blow the hell out of my type R, dont really like them, but there loud

installs correct a sx will get louder then a brahma in a ported box just some food for thought since you said you just want loudness and don't really care about sq. You can also get a 15" type-r on ebay for like 200shipped and again with installs correct will get louder then a brahma and possibly an sx.

The XXX and Brahma MKII are very comparable drivers...

the brahma is not going to get as loud as any of the above stated subs (save the type r). it certainly does get loud, but its m.o. is sq. it isn't a sub that many "boomers" are proned to gravitate toward. the extremely flat response can be better described as "dry," which is on the opposite side of the spectrum from "boomy."

regardless, enclosure plays a large part. i would still have looked to a host of other subs if sq is of absolutely no concern. it is definitely among the absolute best in that department.

LIKE????? and its a type r 12, i want to get louder for as cheap as possible..... and im getting the brahma for a good price, im willing to spend 300 or so if i HAVE too

If you want loudness for cheap as possible get an sx, l7 or type-r for around 200 and all will get louder then a brahma for around 200.

thats what im wondering, and if i can spend 40 bucks more to get a brahma i am... if its as loud as a type r 15... i have one type r 12 now, think i should get another 12? build a new ported box.... use the same rubicon amp. send 500 wrms to each? then maybe get a 1500 wrms amp down the road

by "save" the type r, i meant all of them "except" the type r.

don't get me wrong though. i love my brahmas and would only consider about 5 other subs besides them. but it's their sq that i love. AND their output. i'm just saying with output alone, there are others that handle more power and get louder than the brahma. even the MKII is really good for about 6-800 watts (vs the 1200 watts and up you might prefer), especially in such a huge enclosure.

but if you can get the sucker for only a small amount, i would say go for it. the sq is bound to grow on you truly great subs
