  1. I don't think you need to do two enclosures for positioning... Bass is omnidirectional to the ear, so your not going to be able to locate the direction the bass is coming from. I would although have the drivers either fire against the floor (downfire) or corner of walls. And a super low tuned ported enclosure will sound killer.
  2. How much longer? as in length or wait time? Or do you mean something completely different?
  3. Well if you can't find one or a good deal on one then just go with a 1500d. The difference in output between the two will be measurable on a TL but not audible to the ear.

    what brand and model are those subs? I know there TC Sound drivers, look like the TC-Axis model.

    EXOcontralto's video of my XCONS

    Working on it lol. Saving up for my DC Power 270XP, then I'll send some more clean power to them. Finally got a carbon flex vid! lol. 3 Peat by Lil' Wayne is still by far the best on those mids though, I'll post that up next time I make a video. i watched this video a couple days ago..looks like your voltage is pretty good for a stock alt. I'm really happy that the car has a stock 120 amp alt lol. I just can't turn the XCON's up as much as I would like to without sending the amplifier into clipping due to voltage drop (not that they aren't loud as it is ) As a side note, it's kind of funny how much quieter my car seemed while this video was made because his XXX's had just punched me in the face haha. I know the feeling. My jeep isn't that loud to begin with, but once I stepped in BanginGMCs truck and Marks rocket ship, boy did I "lose" some bass Yeah, sorry about that It's alright, I forgive you

    Looking sweet. Camera does a fairly good job on picking up the bass, doesn't just sound like a bunch of rattling crap. Have you gotten a chance to get it metered yet?

    new setup help

    So you haven't heard much. Ported will give you the most output, but it will be a little more complicating to build verse a sealed enclosure. As Bobobass suggested, you could use an aero port for the enclosure and that would make things a bit easier to build.

    Hey I'm new and have some questions

    The optimal Icon enclosure design I posted above should fit within those dimensions.

    Difference between 15" and 12" sub

    it creates the same frequency but at a more intense level (spl). In simple terms: A speaker compresses and displaces air forming sound waves. The bigger the speaker the more air compressed and the more air displaced, thus increased output. Other things come into play such as xmax, motor force, etc, but that's for another topic.

    Difference between 15" and 12" sub

    so generally speaking say if lets use the q they are both in their recommended ported enlcosures in size but both enclosures are tuned to 35hz will the 15 reproduce the lower frequencies at a higher volume and why? The 15" will have more output at ALL frequencies because it has more cone area.

    which setup would have more ouput?

    ive got the 2000 grand prix gtp since both of our cars are supercharged be careful about what alt and battery you get remember that our motor requires alot of cranking amps to run correctly (mine is the 3800 series 2 motor) you dont want your overdrive to cut in and out when you give it some gas as far as the subs id go with the 4 ssd's over the 15's the 12's will have alot more output and as far as response (15's dont have better response than 12's thats horse sh!t lol) trust me i know your car very well and know what different setups sound like in it ive had 1 12, 2 12's, 3 12's, 1 15, 2 15's and 2 fosgate 18's the bigger speakers have lower bass but most music is produced on a 80hz average anyway go with the 12's lol The average sub stage is going to be playing ~28hz to 70hz and upwards 80hz. Saying bigger speakers have lower bass is bullshit. The size of the cone does not effect the drivers ability to play one frequency verse another, it does however effect output / loudness of the material being played. bigger speakers have lower bass because they can play the lower frequencies louder lol thats why for 15's you set your crossover to 50hz and 12's to 80hz and your wrong the average sub will not be playing 28hz to 70 hz that all depends on the sub, size, and enclosure I said sub stage, referring to the driver and enclosure. I stated 28hz as some like to tune low although most tune around the low 30s. Crossing over is also preference based, some cross at 70ish and others go up to 80. Just depends on the person and the rest of their sound system. Your statement about different size drivers playing different frequencies louder is completely wrong. I won't argue anymore with you as I'm just beating the shit out of a dead horse and it's not waking up. lol name one speaker that has an fs of 27hz that isnt bottoming out lol the 18" n2 btl has an fs of 34hz lol if i am some where wrong correct me and prove it so my opinion may be changed in the right directing because i am not getting what you are talking about Fs of a speaker is it's resonant frequency in free air, not in an enclosure. The tuning of the actual enclosure determines the point the driver will start to bottom out.
