Giving up the MAW-15's......

[Koridan 0]

so, I went to my local car audio shop and was getting a box built for my maw-15's that would fit in the trunk of my '06 Pontiac G6. And obviously thats going to be impossible trying to build a box to the rec. specs for the maw-15's. Anyway. He then turned me on to alternative route. Groundpounders from Crunch Audio. Now I will probably keep my Maw's in my Taurus, but for the G6 I was intrigued with the things he told me. The Subs look quite stout. So I was considering going with a 2x 12" GP12D2 setup or a 3x GP10D2 setup. Not sure what would be better. Or if thats even good at all. Im currently in college so money is tight. but with the $65 pricetag at onlinecarstereo.com it seems reasonable. I am pulled in many directions. please help. thanks in advance

bump..... obviously nobody knows.... maybe it would be simpler if I just asked of a good set of tens that would sound good in my g6. i was wanting 3 of them. cheap too. like i said im in college.

try an audioque sdc2.5 12 a 2cu @35 with 600rms will get you loud and still sound good and they cost 140.

the groundpounders seem to be decent subs for the price its definatly not the Crunch of a couple years ago

come on decent the cone and dustcap are illuminated blue they put more into making it look flashy than functional. looks like audiobahn type crap.

No wonder he turned you to GP's since he sells them

I personally don't like those subs.

What is your budget / power ?

I'd never buy Crunch no matter how much they're actually or just supposedly better than a few years ago.

As Adrian said, budget and install goals?

[mrray13 30]

why not a single maw15 in the trunk? or any single, better manufactured, sub over teh multipule crunch? box build will be way easier, and if using the right sub/enclosure/power, will still get low and loud. and probably sound better and last longer. with roughly $200 for a sub (going by the $65 price tag and 3 x 10 comments), there are quite a few options.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I like Kent's idea of trying a single MAW-15 first.

Well im currently pushing 2 of the 15's with an orion 600d amp. i think they are getting around 200 to each sub. and I know they will take waayyy more than that.... If I go with a single 15 setup with 500watts on the one sub. will it sound better than the 2 15's with 200 each? I know there is an issue with cone area that effects the sound or whatever. I just want to be close or better than how my two 15's are now.... The right sized enclosure will help too. Currently the box is 2.5^3 for both 15's i know, its horrible but. yea. If I can get the one 15 to sound good and loud i wil be happy. and it will help on the money issue. thanks

oh jeez, 2.5 cubes for both 15s is cutting them off by a ton.

So exactly how much space do you have to work with? If you have the room, a single ported 15 off all 600 watts would likely sound worlds better than what you have now. If you don't, a single sealed 15 in the proper airspace would still likely sound better.

[mrray13 30]

yeah, use all 2.5 for a single 15. will sounds worlds better.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
