Need some advice on next sub set-up

[stevemead08 752]

Alright peeps its almost rebuild time in the work truck.

If you dont know, im running 4 sa8s on a saz3k @1 ohm in 2.2 cubes @35 hz. it sound pretty loud but im just not satisfied. I want it louder.

I have about 2.5 cubes to use but im limited to the 4 8s or 2 10s because of height restrictions. any suggestions??

Im thinking maybe 2 Nightshade v2 10s on a saz3k or maybe even 6k if needed as i have a few saz3ks stashed away.

Dose anyone make a louder 10 that would work in my space? im pretty sure i have the loudest 8s out there. any thought?

Dc lvl 5 10?

Im not a big DC fan not i wont rule them out either. Any suggestions Duran?

[klee7013 10]

you might like a fi bl or q

[shizzzon 461]

the lvl5 10 may be too wide due to the bracket.

IF anything DC, i'd vote Level 4 XL-SPL motored.

That way u can run all the power u want to.

Maybe I didn't make it clear. I want louder than my 4 sa8. The Q and BL are both great, I've had both. Neither are super loud.

I'm looking for the loudest 10s out there in 2.5 cubes.

Two DD 99Z10"s.... there. Loudest.

[cheese20323 13]

Just throwing it out there maybe the RE MT 10

[shizzzon 461]

single sub should excel over 2 subs n that space even if powered by same power.

[porkchop 304]

would fiber glassing a area help increase some airspace?

i will try to look at your build too see if i can pick up some clues....

chop

[Duran 387]

I agree with Shizzzon, a single 10" in optimal airspace with adequate port will excel over two choked 10's.

[stevemead08 752]

im ok with a single ten if that is whats loudest.

i just find it hard to believe tha any one ten is going to be louder than my 4 8s i have now.

[stevemead08 752]

anybody else?

[shizzzon 461]

when u keep sayin loud.. i'm gonna keep sayin, because i'm DC biased, Dc Level4 XL with SPL motor. U can dump a few thousand to it since they have high rise.. it won't kill it. Don't worry bout power received, they are efficient.

They are more efficient than the stock lvl5 motors are.

U also have Nightshades too if they come in tens.

[stevemead08 752]

jacob said he can do 10s but i dont know air requirments atr any specs.

[Duran 387]

High rise yet more efficient...lol

Its not hard for a single 10" to be louder than your 4-8's, will it move the same amount of air maybe yes or maybe no. What tuning and any other information to help you make the decision on the right sub. I had 3-12"s kicker cvx underpowered and now I have one sundown zv.1 15" underpowered and the 15" is louder, it doesnt move the same amount of air but it gets louder though. Hope that helps.

something to think about. thanks Jay-cee

[shizzzon 461]

yea the term efficient is loosely thrown around on high rise subs...

It makes the electrical system real efficient.. but u need or want lots of power to take full advantage of them... So, not efficient on amp requirement or potential but efficient on battery requirement.

[Cthedinger 2]

the lvl5 10 may be too wide due to the bracket.

IF anything DC, i'd vote Level 4 XL-SPL motored.

That way u can run all the power u want to.

They made a mounting ring for the LVL 5 10 so it can be mounted with out a problem. And I would suggest the regular XL over the XL-SPL because there isn't as much cooling on the XL-SPL.

[shizzzon 461]

you know, i totally forgot if u cant choose between everything already listed, you always have Team PSI to go through.
