Which subs to go with?

Recommended Posts

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my subwoofers. Currently I have two Diamond audio 15inch d3 in a ported prefab box powered by Mmats pro audio d2000.1, I have the Diamond audio d672 component sets in the front and diamond d6 coaxiles in the back powered by diamond audio d3 500.4 amplifier. I love the d3 subs but need something more powerful. I would like four 15s and I dont want to spend more then 350 per sub. I'm picking between ssa icons, fi q, ascendant audio havocs, or the incriminator audio death rows. I'm looking for the sub with the best LOUD SOUND QUALITY and really hit the low notes. I listen to a lot of rock, techno, a little rap, r&b, and classical music. I'm wiiling to listen and learn from any bodies advice. Thanks!

Welcome to SSA. Do you have space limitations? And does your amp do the most power at .5/1/2 ohms? Are you planning on building or having built a custom box for the sub woofers?

...Damn, 4 15"s For Mainly Rock And Techno?

What Vehicle? Icons Or Havocs Ftw, The DR Isn't A Bad Choice Either, Nor Is The Fi.

Shit, You May Only Need Just Two Of What You're After. ...Two Xcons Gained Right On A SAZ-3.5kd Come To Mind.

I Guess The Amp You Have Now Would Suffice, Though.

I have a 2002 expedition without the 3rd row seats. And my amp is stable down to 1ohms, and yes I plan on getting a custom box built for the subs.

I drive a 2002 ford expedition so space is really not an issue. My amp is stable at 1ohms and I do plan on getting a box built for the subs.

All of the models you listed have the potential to get very loud, and all should sound great in a proper enclosure. Do you plan on going ported or want to go sealed?

I listen to rap also, mainly old school three 6 mafia, Project Pat, Pastor Troy, Jeezy to name a few, but I enjoy rock and techno more because of all the more detailed instruments in that genre.

If for daily, any of those subs will preform well in the 28-34hz range.

Thanks again, so basically I can't go wrong with either of these subs? One more thing, Do you know where I can buy the havocs? I tried calling but no answer.
