not looking for a brand pref... I need more input on woofer size and amount and box design... I've been looking at doing 6 8" woofers or 4 10"s or 3 12"s ported most likely

3 12's would be the best bet..... if you have the space....

otherwise just do a pair of 10's port them and they should be plenty loud...

it's not like the cab of a truck is incredibly big...

it should be easy to get loud off of 2kw.

I like the three 12's idea too I can get 10 cubes pretty easy I think space isn't a issue but it would be hard to get 3 12's on 2 amps

500 per driver gets expensive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif not looking to enter any SQ comps just something that will reproduce all freq. from 100 down and sound good but at the same time will still rattle your eye balls... I'm back and forth and I even confuse myself on this situation but I just need some opinions

2 2512's would take it from what I have heard...

How???? are they more efficient on the power that I have

 

[xtremebassjunky 10+ year member]

a while back some people on the dd forum (respected people who know their stuff like nick from sick audio) were talking about throwing ALOT of power on the sub...

it was a single 2515.

just interpret it for the fact that it took the power...

sounds to me like youd prefer a couple hundred bucks in your pocket over the bass you really crave?

i have 1 x 12w7 ($250 used) on an orion 2500d ($400 used) in a mini van, has sick sq and when i lean on the volume it gets sick.

u only need 1 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/graduate.gif.d982460be9f153bb54e5d4cb744f6ae8.gif

nomad got a 151 on a 12w7 with a 1000/1 back in the day...
