Starting new build HELP!

[tapout383 10+ year member]

So i will be starting my new sound system build in a couple of months just needed some options on some things as into what I should get. First off, let me stat that my old system was a single DD9515f in a box built by fisher customs. It was 4.5 cubes tuned to 40hz. I ran it off a AQ2000d at 2 ohms and the woofer was seeing 1200rms. Well that was pretty loud but I would like to step it up a little bit more with loudness. Yes I know the DD could take more power and that's what I should have done but I like switch just like everyone else. So my question to you guys is that what should I get? I know that box is key to build which is why bj will be building my next one. I have planned on getting an AQ2000d and running it at 1 ohm off a crunch 3000 or similar, but would like some other opinions I cant get much over 6 cubes in my trunk so that's about all I have to work with. Looking at some stuff and what you guys think?

1- 18'' AQ or Fi 5.5 cubes tuned to 38hz

2- 15'' Type-Rs idk about tuning but about 3 cubes a woofer

4- 12" Type-Rs sealed

1- 15'' Mach 5 SPL(a lot of people choose this but I want to know why)

which what you chose for pure loudness? or what else you guys think I should try...

Stop spending money and utilize what you have. Rebuild the box and observe the results...

IMO....I can't stand type R's. I'll never use them again. Out of those choices I would go with Mach 5 spl in it's optimum enclosure.

im actually about to get a deal on a mach 15 spl so i may just end up testing that out

how would you compare the Mach5 SPL to a DD9515 in loudness??

ok so im getting some help locally thank god

Im thinking of doing a Mach5 SPL 15 with aeros dont know size and tuning yet...

running it at 1 ohm at 3000rms off a GP3000-pro

even though theres alot of factors how loud do you think this will get in a trunked car??
