What to go with

[Anniku989 10+ year member]

Runnin the two RE SE12's right now, off of about 700rms each, and still want more. This box I have, I can easily take the front off and make a new cuttout for it so thats no problem. Its a tad under 5 cubes at 34hz I think. Getting a new amp and upgrading electrical is definately planned, so I'm just looking for something thats a bit louder

Shall I go with two better 12's (thinking SX's if I do this)

Three 10's (Prolly SE, or SX's)

Or, one 15 (BTL, MT, HDC3, whatever's the loudest).

Most of those shall do well in that box (can't fit 4 10's in it, not a big enough front, already tried that), but just looking to see what I should do.

The three 10's will give me weird ohm's, an the 12's are just kinda boring (want more low, although these get down), I'd have no problem going with a single 15, but I want to make sure it's louder than these. The two 12's have more cone area than the 15 (and the 10's more than any I listed), but I'm thinking the power should make up for it.

Thats what I would go for, just my personal opinion.... They will definately want more power tho

Thats what I've been thinking. Want a single sub settup.

What 15" thats around 2kw rms will get the loudest?

I had an offer for my two subs (SE 12's) for two 15's (plus a lil cash on my end), and I've got the power for them, but not enough box (I can build new, but I don't really want to, and I'm only gonna be able to get about 6cubes (1cube more) total anyway). I've got 5cubes at 34 right now, so my question is, Whats the side effects of running too small of a box?
