Sundown ZV5? Or nah

[Windy Lows]

First I'll explain my set-up. I currently run a sundown xv2 12 on taramps smart 3k in a 3 cube net enclosure after displacements, tuned to 28 hz. I've stumbled upon an opportunity to get a zv5 for a really good price and was wondering if it would be worth the upgrade? I will be just reusing the current setup just a woofer swap. Will it be louder?, lower,?

Meh. Might gain a DB or two.

Only reason I'm considering... i paid 350 for my Xv2. A dude wants to trade me his Zv5 plus 300 cash for my Xv2, and he's throwing in a XP 3000 agm and 20 ft. OFC. The way I look at it, I'll basically have 650 invested for about 1200 dollars worth of equipment.

Probably going to upgrade to a 5k amp

So I got the ZV5...for an offer I couldn't refuse and I don't regret it. I think it is just as loud, if not louder and lower than the Xv2. The best part is that I can increase the wattage in the future, but for now I'm totally satisfied on 3k. Once it breaks in and I've had it for a while I will upgrade to 5k. (I know the box looks rough. It was my 1st build)

Hey I have one zv5 15, I’m trying to figure out exactly what I need to get 2500w Rms out of it. I have one run of 2/0 ofc, 280amp h/o alt, 150ah worth of AGM. And the big 3 all 0 gauge. I just upgraded from 2 gauge to 2/0 and it didn’t get significantly louder, trying to figure out if I’m bottle necked somewhere else

You'll need an amp that puts out 2500watts to start with...

 

[some dude]

Yeah, what amp you using?

How detailed did you get when you set the gain?

What does your voltage looking like?
