Upgrading 3 12in Type R's....Suggestions

[MrSplorDie 10+ year member]

Ok so I'm running 3 12 inch Type R's off a Memphis 2500.1, and I want to upgrade to something a little better sounding and louder. I'm on a budget so what are some suggestions? Im looking to spend around $450 on 3 subs, So I was thinking about going back to CVX's... Ive been reading a lot of good reviews about DC lvl 3's and SA 12's but they are out of my budget unless I find them for a good deal on here, but suggest me some good budget subs!

wouldn't SA-12's put you around 500? why not save and get those?

The Lvl 3's are less than $100 over your budget...

That's a good plan too, I wasn't sure about their pricing so went with what I could look up.

well if your going to keep the 2500 and you want better sounding and louder thats going to be hard to do.. how about 2 15s instead of 3 12s? something like 2 AE AV 15s in 4.5 cubes tuned to 28? you can get them in dual 4ohm as well.

AE Speakers --- Superb Quality, Unforgettable Performance, Definitely.

x2 to the idea of a pair of better 15's, if you can fit them. Otherwise you're kinda spinning your wheels if you think you're going to get better sq and louder with a $450 budget for three subs. A pair of 15's will give you the automatic advantage with more cone area.

Also keep in mind if you do get 3 12's you'll need a box for them. Unless the one you have will meet the specs you want.
