[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8717370, member: 614752"] First of all, DD95XX is still one of the best subs money can buy. If you can't get loud with those new subs absolutely isn't going to be your silver bullet to get loud. Next 155 with two 15s and one 8K amp is a lofty goal. Most guys you run into at shows with a pair of 15s on a 5K are happy to break 150 if their box is set up to play music. Even the good flat walls I've seen in sedans or coups would be hard pressed to pull out 155 with your amp. If you want to spend money to get loud, I'd prioritize like so: 1. Get that DD fixed 2. Pay someone who REALLY knows what they're doing to build you a box 3. Get your electrical system rock solid. then if that fails 4. Throw more power at it. Assuming you could actually see say 5K each out of two of those amps you have you couldn't help but put up a respectable number on a meter with a good box, though this would not help you beat down the block any louder. You will always run into thermal limits on your coils if you try to play that loud for extended period of time. Are there any car audio competitions/shows anywhere even remotely near you? Go to a couple shows, find the guys who are loud and pay one of them to build a box for you or pay whoever they're buying boxes from to build for you. Also going to some shows may give you some reasonable goals and expectations to see what people are really doing. [/QUOTE]
