Which Setup Would You Rock?

[Brassler07 10+ year member]

I'm not a huge fan of 18's but I could consider them I suppose. I would love to run 4 12" Revos, but I don't have enough power and I don't have enough power or money for LMS ultras. I am running any setup I get off of a zx2500.1

I also don't think the BL's SQ would be up to par with the Revos or Epics.

 

[Brassler07 10+ year member]

up for a final word?

 

[Brassler07 10+ year member]

**** this accomplished nothing. the 12s and the 15s are tied, haha.

4 SI Mags, but would be 1000 smacks, lol!

That would be amazing though.

You gave us very little information as to what you expected and/or needed from this setup.

I'm guessing wow factor and impact, and in which case, I would say 4 15's ported.

Assuming you have the space...

you want to run 4 15's and your worried about sq?

I DON'T want to run 4 15s. It will take up far too much room. Originally I was going to go with either the 2 15" Revos or 4 12" Epics in sealed enclosures. I just want daily ground pounding bass that will shine on lows and still have good SQ. If I were to port either they would have roughly 8 cubes after sub and port displacement and the box would be tuned to ~30hz. The point is that I was something killer loud, but still sounds great. I doubt I'll be running it full blast all that often.

I also thought about the new Mag, as much as I hate their looks. I know they went back to the XBL^2 technology, but it just doesn't appeal to me like the others. Anyone got a link to some testing done with it?

I appreciate all the input thus far. Keep the ideas coming (I'm looking for more answers like bigbangtheory's). Just tell me what you think and let me know if there's anything else you need to know about what I'm trying to achieve.

one of the main things about sq is having a flat frequency response. if you have a huge peak in the low frequencies, you arent experiencing the music accurately = not sq.

if you want awesome sq yet still have the option to have some dam loud lows...

4 12" SE's sealed

level match them with your fronts for sq, crank the hell out of em for nasty loud lows

I thought about SEs. I was really wondering how they would compare to the Audiopulse Epics. What do you think?

 

[Redlineaudio 10+ year member]

2 X DD 2515's

 

[Brassler07 10+ year member]

Meh. DD wouldn't get low enough for me.

i used Bass Box Pro to model them up side by side, tho didnt have the Epics Qes but BBP can estimate, heres what i got

Red = the SE in 1.14 cu ft for a qtc of .707

White = the Epic in 1.16 for a qtc of .707

id probably buy whichever one you can get for less $

 

[Brassler07 10+ year member]

Could you give me a little explanation of what you did there?

I can probably get the SEs cheaper, but I'm not sure of how you compared them and such.
