You tried big box medium tuned XXX yet?

I don't remember if you haven't or not.

Kinda tough to build the box and use it once eh. Maybe you could sell it locally at tha shop, I don't know.

Try the Solo X. I don't think you'll enjoy it for daily driving, however I think you'll like how loud it is.

What about some HPO's / Mojo's or something? You've already tried so many things and everything I can suggest seems so similar.

Unless you want a Shiva or something. MTX 8500 or 9500? IDMAX? Something from DD? Diamond TDX? Atomic QT, AP, APX? JBL GTI series?

the shop is now carring lightning audio...i'm trying to talk him into some stryke 12's or 15's...they look kinda kool...LA also as a big 2000wrms amp, our shop's resident world champ says it does everybit of it...

i might do the x jsut because it's sitting there and scott was supposed to put it in his 'bird...the 'bird is gone.

he's got a 12" mojo max sitting there as well...lol...i'm trying to snag it too..

but ur right..other then brands like SI,IA ,adire and ascendent....there isn't much i haven't listened too...

maybe ryan will give me his uber for the box...lol...

the x just sounds kewl..lol....plus i've never heard one...again, our rwc says the L7's are jsut as loud, just not as durable.

i could do 10 10" pr's..lol....i wonder if we could get them to one ohm??

that would be 250wrms each...they'd like that...

only need about 10ft^3..i should have that...

hmmmm

noo...i like having the extra there...lol

i want subs..hehe

here's the deal....i'm going to be putting a wall in my bro-in-law's firebird...two 15" L7's and two mtx 1501d's....

i already have almost as much power...so i wanna try to be as loud, if not louder...but i don't wanna use squares, unless it's an solox..then i just wanna use one..

yeah, i know..surface area...wall....500 more rms...lol...but i wanna try..

80inch...ur right about onyx i believe....but or that much money..it's hard to pass up...plus with companies like re doing custom recones...lol

i dunno...suggestions??

kent, you know that you are not gonna be competitive against a wall. even if the wall & side panels are done 1/2 ass, he's still gonna have an advantage.

if you dont care about beating him on the TL, rather to the ear... it'll be tough.

go real big box, lotta port, tune high 30's. mechanical handling will be down but you're going to need to throw some power on it anyhow. keep an eye on the moofer(s).

far as which drivers?

lots of goodies out there.

but what are you willing to pay, what can you get ahold of?

the solo-x would be nice... with at least twice the wattage you have.

yeah...but i like a challange....

and i might just do a wall myself..lol...

i did 145.5 without a wall with a pair of 15's and just 1000wrms..no modded electrical..

now..modded electrical....better wire (0 gauge compared to 4 gauge) no other amps...2.5 times the power...maybe get a 50 on the dash legal...

the 45 was outlaw

i'm thinking, i fi can get close with a 10"...lol....

for the 10..i'm thinkin 4ft^3, tuned about 38hz..100in^2 of port...downfire the sub to hide it...heheh...and see what happens...

45 outlaw = 41-43 legal usually. sorry.

you know the higher you get the harder it is to gain. hell, talk to Yota... how long did he chase 150?

you CAN do it... but it'll take alot of tuning.

But, you've got spare time :D

4ft^3 for the solo? with 2500rms? go bigger... much bigger. If you're only going to throw 2.5kw nominal at it, I would move up to the 7-8ft^3 range.

You're gonna lose points downfiring. on the sensor anyhow.

You never did answer, are you actually trying to compete with him (on the TL/mic) or you just wanna sit next to each other and see who's louder?

i know 45 outlaw is about a 42 legal..

8ft^3 huh? downfiring cost me?? ok...

probably both mic and side by side

for mic, downfiring will cost you. at least, it has in my trials and from the competitors that I've talked to. you lose 'spl' in the reflection/cancellation.

if you're gonna go with a solo, the susp is beefy enough that I think 2500rms wont hurt it much (if at all) in 8ft^3.

talk to trp82 (iirc) at TPro... he runs a Solo in a cargo area wall in a blazer. cool guy. mid to high 150's. daily dirver too.

bunch of other guys too.

actually, find & PM tracey (polecat)... he knows his Kicker :D
