suggestions for a single 15"

[graffix989 10+ year member]

i want to get a single 15" sub for a system in my 94 MX-6. im turning the trunk into a box, the top will be 5-6" off the bottom and the sub will recess where the spare tire used to be. im looking for a single 15" sub. somthing that wouldnt cost more than $150 and could handle atleast 1000RMS. im thinking about getting a profile CL800 or a lanzar Vibe248 to push it... my last system was 2 aw1206t's and they sounded realy good being pushed by two lanzar Vibe268's. so im leaning twards a single AW1506T wit the smaller lanzar pushin it.... unless someone can suggest a better one for the same price range....

Going to be tough to find a kW-handling driver for $150...

for 150 - the best you will prolly do is a shiva, SS RL-i, AA atlas, tempest, or maybe somthing else. those are all under 185ish (atlas = 165+shipping) but they ait gonna handle no 1000w. 500~800 would be a better estimate... and the tempest will take 750 @ $150.

so i dont know mang.

if you can bust out another 50 bucks you can get a MOFO15 from dave shipped.

If you haven't bought the amp yet, buy one with less power handling. You'll have a lot more choices for $150 in the 300-600w RMS range.

All of these drivers are very efficient, so I would recommend one f these along with a smaller amp, especially since you are turning your trunk into a box, most of these drivers are large enclosure drivers.

Is there a reason it must handle 1kW?

a powerbass evo would do the trick as well

x2 that MOFO will be good

mofo would want more than 1kw.

id rather get somthing that expensive thats wicked efficent and spend less on the amp to compensate.

that evo would do the trick wont cost much and will work great around 800
