Single 15 LSQ setup...So many options

[kingsham 0]

I've finally decided to go with a single 15 ported setup...bout 4cu.ft.tuned to bout 33hz

Ive got canidates in mind...but havent looked every where...

Canidates

Audioque HDC3

FI SSD (w/copper coil) or Q(stock)

Kicker CVX

Alpine Type R

TC-Sounds tc-9

I want to power it with this:

Hifonics BXi 1206D

2400-Watt Brutus Mono Amplifier

But I also looked at these...

MB Quart RWE-352 - MB Quart Reference Series 15" 1400 Watt DVC Subwoofer

http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=3416

If I went with those, I would get two and throw them in a sealed box. Ive heard that MB Quart makes pretty good speakers...And Ive also read that these are pretty good in a sealed box...These are nice because if i got them...i wouldnt be spending alot of cash. I know what sealed boxes sound like...my father had one...i loved the punchiness of the bass.

All in all...i wanna be loud...i wanna be unique...i want speakers that I KNOW nobody at my school will have...i wanna sound good...i want some good advice!

Thanks

P.S. Im in HS so i dont wanna break the bank all the way

How about an RE SX15? That would also fit into your grouping, otherwise I'd suggest the FI Q or SSD....the audioque's like a lot of power, tons of people have type r's, don't know anything about the CVX's.

Of the ones listed, I have not played with the AQ, so I feel the one with the best mix of output and SQ is the Fi Q, if you have the power to push it.

You want to be UNIQUE with a Type R or other name brand sub? I doubt that is going to happen...

Stay with FI, or better yet. Check out SSA's own ICON. I can all but guarantee you'll be the only on in your city running that.

Those are too high

why not get a SI Mag or SS RL-p or something. ICON would be a good choice too.

How much those mag's run?

[johnecon2001 82]

They're not cheap. But oh so worth it IMO.

You have a bunch of drivers that don't fit together in my book.

The Type R is junk

The MB quart I am not at all impressed with

The CVX is way overhyped

If you go TC9 at least go with the SoundSplinter as the service alone makes it a better buy than direct from TC

I haven't heard or held an Audioque, but am not eager to either

The Q or SSD would be fine, but they do not really fulfill the same application.

not quite sure at this point what you are looking for...

Looks like he wants a daily groundpounder but doesn't know what would be good for that. Unique = Fi, or you may look at SoundSplinter, Mach 5, SSA, or DC Sound labs (basically anything on this site); loud = based on application, sound good = based on application. Give us a good budget range and a lot of us would gladly help you piece something together that'll make 'em laugh when you tell them what it is, then promptly shut them up after they hear it.

budget...would like to stay under 250 for sub...but will go up to and not over 300

[johnecon2001 82]

forget the mag then..

Look at the Soundsplinter RL-p, the Ascendant Audio Arsenal, the SSA Icon and perhaps the Fi Q.

All would be excellent choices to consider.

Forgive me for pushing our forum vendors on you lol. But they're probably the most suited towards your needs.

Thanks

Can those Arsenal's take more that 500 watts...thats what the specs said they were rated for? I would push them with about 700-900 watts

[Big E 4]

If you really want to be unique, I'd say go for the SSA ICON (check out the shop here)...you'll be one of the few people in the WORLD with one!

Why would you push them? Set your gains for the 500 watts and then push them up a little till you start to hear some distortion. then back them off. Keep in mind though, giving a sub over the RMS can lower the longevity of the sub and possibly void your warranty.

Go with the HDC315 when it comes out, or shop around for a used HD. I installed one a few months back, replaced 2 15" Rl-P's and it owned them in output, but SQ was not as tight, but fine for music in a daily driver.

I'm now running 2 of the HD's and it does all that I want. Running a 15" FI Q in the GF's car and it's a nice sub, but not close to the output of the HD.

And it's plenty unique as no one I've run across knows what they are, so I just tell em it's some flea market junk I picked up for cheap. Then they hear it and I laugh as their jaw hits the ground. LOL

yeah...i was hit with a big loss today...

A guy my father knows does bodywork and paint... he said he could paint my car for 2500...w/ no body work...and round 3gs w/ bodywork... but not to worry he's damn good...he did a truck in 1991...has been in about 20+ magazines and has won many awards so its worth it...but ill throw some cash to the side to get some subage!
