XXX 15' Soundstream

[RE_XXX]

When it comes to sheer output and good SQ..

The SS XXX is the best I have heard so far...

And I have heard a lot

you want to get rid of the t5 cause it was too small of a box but you want to get a XXX that needs like 2 times the space?

I dont think I said that. I was talking about how I had to cut it down to make it fit. If I had this 15 I would do a different approach and build the box in the trunk and do my best to give it 4 cubes ported to 34 or so... but the more I think about it, I probly should stick with 12's and just work with that. I wish they had xxx 12's. I am just trying to get an idea of things.

well you said you had to cut it down,

but you also said you want a XXX but it needs more airspace then the t5.

why not make the box bigger and upgrade your amp.

or you could even fiberglass an enclosure for it and spread it out against the back seat to try and gain airspace.

I am considering that. In fact I was going to do custom corner boxes with amp rack under the rear deck. As for the amp, I would love to have a XXX amp but those cost too much right now. I could get another PS1-3000D and bridge them for about 3000 rms... maybe. but I dont know if they are over rated or what. whats your experience with this amp... anybody?

i see your in phoenix az...

Yup. Actually chandler

power acoustic is always overrated but that amp probably puts out around 12-1300

try to find a rockford t1500d or something similar.

its all in ur enclosure! post pix and i can help you get louder. with a single T5 of any size you should be able to break a 40 with that amp...

I can tell that your power acoustic model does more like 500 watts just be the size of it, the 4 or 8 gauge inputs stuffed with 1 gauge are funny enough.

I bet if you put a real 2k amp on them they would really wake up.

IMO

AQ2200 under $400 less than a used XXX - get some real power..

Looks like a Grand Am?

No, it is a Chevy Cavalier

 

[dave_damage 10+ year member]

Also that amp is about 800 real watts. You are way under powering those subs FYI

ok, I hear you. so I guess I could just use one for now until I get another amp. and ... I am also working on a new box idea. to inprove the output.

Ported tune it to 35hz and enjoy. T5's are hard to beat for price and performance.
