Temporary sub options...hmm

[manbeer 0]

Doing a temporary install in the G35 coupe and i am trying to figure out which will work out the best in given space.

As some of you know the trunk is extremely small. So far as i know, nobody has ever installed a 15 in there and 10's are about the most that will fit without pulling out the spare tire, tools etc. which i really don't give a damn about anyway

So the amp running them will be an MTX 81000d. Rated 1000rms @ 1ohm, 12.5 V

so figure on a maximum of 1000-1100 rms real world output

Options are as follows:

1) Rockford T210d2 - Box can be about 1.8-1.9 net, with around 40 sq inches of port tuned to about 35hz

2) Adire Brahma 15" - 2.0-2.3 cubes net, sealed

3) Rockford HX2 12's x 2, Sealed @ 1.0 cubes net per sub

all would be wired at 1 ohm. for a daily driver which can't sound like complete ass but setup mainly for SPL without tons of airspace or crazy high tuning, to br as loud as possible. which route to take? thanks

I'd take the Brahma.. hands down.

One of those subs makes the others look useless. Use the Brahma

how about a 12in havoc ported in 1.8cu tuned to 32hz

Just be careful with the Brahma.

Ok, are you going to GIVE me a Havoc? cause i have all the other subs already... when it comes time to buy more i'm going SSA all the way, whether its the Xcon or an Icon if i get impatient waiting

Just be careful with the Brahma.

Why? Is there something bad i don't know?

Adire is no longer around to re-cone. So if it were to fail, would best be suited to have Fi repair it.

ohhhh i got ya! what about that robot underground place? i think he still has a bunch of adire soft parts laying around. No matter what, i think i wanna hang onto that as its a great, fairly rare sub and might be handy in an old school build down the road

Still waiting on the Xcon, but i think that once i have a little more cash laying around i will pick up an Icon or two in the interim. Do you expect box specs to be similar on the new sub?

going to be adding an RE SX-12 to that list now. I just realized that the rms figure was at 2 ohms, so while i probably can get away running at 1, i'd prefer not to with stock electrical system. the SX12 in 2 cubes tuned to 33ish vs the brahma sealed which do you think will give the most oooomph?

[emperorjj1 2]

bump the sx tuning up and u can get more volume.... ive herd them tuned as high as 40 (minus a wall) and 35-38 is the best compromise of spl while still getting the low bass

SPL your probably looking at the SX, T2, Brahma then hx2s

I would personally choose the brahma since i have XXX 15s but they all sound like nice systems

I'd much rather have the sealed Brahma - they sound quite nice
