The 8" hype lately is just plain stupid in my opinion.

Price?

I vote Icon or Xcon 18's on 1.5k, which leaves room to double power and is under budget.

What are your past setups? It sounds like you're going from nothing to wanting a wall. From what you are saying I'm sure a few 15's or 18's on 1500 watts would make you happy.

Its nice to get into a warm car, especially when there's a foot of snow outside Or a cool car when it's 115 out. If it got to 115 where I lived, I'd move. In the near future....

That is an enclosure/install issue, and not an issue with the sub.

My poor boy! Only a neutering but I still feel bad...

What do you drive? What kind of music do you listen to?

Love it!

What kind of power? I'm assuming you are looking at a single 15 or dual 12's? What vehicle?

Nice what's in the trunk car?

Pics look good!

I would spend my money elsewhere, the amp that you have now is fine.

I would think that wouldn't be true though.... If I was switching from an SSD 18" to a BTL 18", even on the same power it should be louder. Correct, but not much.

No it won't sound better.

Is it? Never been in a vehicle before that I knew how loud it was. Before going I assumed I would hit 150db. But isn't 147.9 at 32hz harder than say 42hz? Or am I dreaming lol? Thank you for the compliment! For 0 competition experience that is a very good number. I'm sure that you could pull a 150 with some work and meter time.

No, the amp has a lpf.

Awesome man! Nice score!

That is part of your problem as well. That box does not have enough port area for two XCON 15's. I am on the low side with my 12's and almost have as much as you do.

You're gain is most likely set too high. They will sound better if you properly set your gain on the 3500, but it will not be because they are getting more power. I do run 650 a piece to mine and they sound great.

Never mind.... Glws OP My current 2k is in pretty rough shape lol. Sounds good man! I edited my post, didn't mean to post dump on a fs thread. Sorry OP.

Never mind.... Glws OP

Not really the way it works..... AT ALL. You would never hear a difference between 1500 and 2000 watts. Subs don't need a certain power to "come alive" like most people think.
