What puts out more SPL than a 12 se xxx????

[sampson 10+ year member]

Hey got a 12 re se xxx, and wanting something with more SPL than that. Running off a hifonics bx1500D, in a slot ported box about 2.5 Cu FT, tuned to 32 hz, in a hatchback. Assuming all other unmentioned variables stay the same, what sub can I directly swap out with that se xxx, and make it louder. I don't really wanna upgrade my amp although that is an option, as I have heard these can take more wattage. But I'm gonna be running it daily not just as at a competition for a few minutes. I've seen some pretty impressive subs out there, orions, soundsplinter subs look pretty tempting:yumyum: , eclipse titanium looked pretty good, but wattage wise it is only 750 rms. What do you guys reccomend just to get my SPL louder. Thanks a lot-Sampson

Is price an issue?

If not then I'd say you could get a DD9512. That seems about the right box size for one

Type R does. TOMMYk1990 HAD THE SEXXX and the sx and sexxx was louder than sx, SX couldnt handle the power, and the R walked them both //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Try shortening your port length some. 32hz tuning is a SQ (SQL) tuning, not an SPL one. You'd likely get more of an increase in output from changing your box than by simply switching out speakers.

I'm sure that every stereo owner and every install on the PLANET has had the exact same results. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

I'm going with audioholic on this one. Work with what you have. The SE XXX is an incredible woofer.

i dont think i read anywhere that he said it would. he acutally stated just how TommyK's setup worked out.

If some one posts an open ended comment, expect backlash. The comment implies the type-r is better than the SX and SExxx. Open ended.

I think I'm gonna go with audioholics suggestion and pull that sub out, and then stick a dremmel in there and cut away some of the port. Its about 10" long or so, think I'll take off about 2" and see how that sounds. The box is likely going to be tossed anyway as fiberglass is nearing completion. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. No reason not to play with it a bit. Thanks for the posts guys. -Sampson

Don't just guess at the tuning, take a few minutes to research it via a program like WinISD. It can be downloaded at http://www.linearteam.dk/

You need to keep in mind raising your tuning frequency is going to mean losing some bottom end, and probably over all sound quality. For this reason I would inch up on the tuning you want. Also remember to adjust your SSF accordingly. Good luck and keep us posted. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
