Forgot to add the skar audio vvxv3

What ate your goals? For spl I'd run the sa for sql the dds

Any of the bottom 3 but really depends on budget and space. The dc subs will take the smallest box

 

[AcuraTL]

My goal is to have the loudest setup I possibly can with the subs I mentioned above. They will be all using the same amp which is a Rockford Fosgate T1500BDCP. Mylows10 you said any of the bottoms 3 does that also include the Skar VVXv3? and why would you go with the bottom 3? If those bottom 3 weren't there which mainstream brand would you go for?

Does voicecoil size matter? All the subs have 2.5" voicecoils while the DC one is the only one that has a 3" voicecoil. I was sort of leaning towards the Sundown SA or the DC. Which would you prefer.

if you don't have much space for a box, id go with the DCs, if you have more space for a box I'd go with the sundowns. You'll be happy either way as long as you build a box to spec or have a box built

I would take a 3" coil over a 2.5" coil any day. Thermal capacity is higher on a 3" coil. Yes the ex subs need a small box. All the other subs mentioned will need 2^3 per sub or more any of these SUVs will work tho being loud is gonna depend on the whole build. Not just subs and amp What's your electrical look like ? As this will help. Also have you deadened the trunk ? This again will help

Well its a 2012 Acura TL SHAWD so the trunk isn't that big cuz of the AWD system. Electrical is stock for now but will do the big 3 and have a XS Power batter up front and will have a small XS Power battery in the back. So the DC will will need a total volume of 2.5 cubic feet or bigger? and the sundowns will need a 3 or 4 cubic feet box?. My top three are DC LV3 with the upgraded parts, Sundown SA, and the Type R cuz there really cheap.

Forget the type r. The sa subs will need 4 cubic ft for them to sound good. The dc subs will need 3cubes You'll also need a big 3 kit and 0 gauge wires

Dc

Would it be fine to run the rf t1500bdcp or switch it to the dc 2k
