4000 watts what subs do you recommend?

Ok I have a IA 40.1 and need two 15 inch subs that will handle 2k rms each daily? I play a lot of screwed & chopped mixtapes so keep that In mind as low frequency extension is key in this install.. thanks

2 15 BTL's would work.

maybe even 2 15 BL's.

check out ficaraudio.com if you don't know.

Also, the IA DP's are worth looking into since you already have IA.

Even the Sundown Nightshades would work.

I had the Q's, so I'm a little familiar with FI, but they just didn't have the power handling that I was looking for. If I could find something that played the low hz just as well with twice the power handling, I would be fine.

Out of the woofers you listed, I thought they were only for spl applications?

No sir.

None of the woofers I listed are fully spl subs.

I've heard all those woofers in person and they all get low. All that depends on the install/car.

BTW, what was wrong with your Q?

[streetbeater07 0]

coils burned up...and on one of the drivers, the cone has completely separated from the coil and spider.

Ok, you say they get low? so would I have to build another enclosure for a pair of nightshades or dps' since my enclosure is tuned to 27hz?

new speaker... new enclosure. Always the name of the game.

Unless it's IB I suppose.

The installation of a driver is 90% of how good it will work in your system.

i vote btl.

i wanna see u tear those up!

I'm absolutely amazed at the number of people that do, though.

Then again, considering how many people have things set up, maybe not.

i know it can be done... but loosein that epicenter is the first step to not blowing subs for sure.

How did you burn up the coil?

I've owned a Q, and it took mine 5+ minutes and 1500rms to finally burn the coil, which I did on purpose.
