what are you looking for? SQ SPL SQL? can you fit a big box? or are you in a littler area?

Accordman · 10-20-2008

i prefer the SE over what you mentioned

lileddie1127 · 10-20-2008

SE or HCD3, u can't go wrong with either.

its goin in the back of my 2003 chrysler 300m special. not a **** load of room. probably have to Build the box inside the trunk to get everything right

stratusrt01 · 10-20-2008

I've built 2 boxes for that Car before, go with a pair of 12's instead, you'll be louder, there's not enough height for a proper alignment for 15's. Make the box 14.5" high, and it'll slide right under that stupid little hang-down they have back there.

Remember, bigger isn't always better.

Agreed. I learn't the hard way.
It took me 4 boxes just to get my 18s to fit in the trunk of an intrepid(close to a 300 trunk space wise I'd imagine). I ended up losing the cabin gain of having it in the trunk, since I ended up firing them right into the cabin. With the same power one of the 18s is just as loud as the pair in a proper box in the trunk. But sometimes you need to experiment to find out what you like best. Although it takes twice as many subs by firing them into the cabin, it does sound better, and for me that was a sacrifice worth making.

If I could do it all over I'd just get a pair of 12s.

theycallmeJT · 10-20-2008

a pair of 12's isnt enough for me though. how ever my car is designed. sound doesnt come through that well. it sucks

theycallmeJT · 10-20-2008

i was up at one of my local audio shops screwin around and they said i could maybe run 6 12" kenwood KFC-W3011. im just not super sure what i wanna do

luckycharms84 · 10-20-2008

you cant fit 6 12s in the trunk of anything...

theycallmeJT · 10-20-2008

if i did a sealed enclosure and built the box in my trunk i could pull it off. the trunk is a good size. its just the opening are small as hell.

korey_hofer · 10-20-2008

2 12's of the same kind will be louder than 1 15 just so you know

theycallmeJT · 10-20-2008

2 12's of which subs? im startin all over again and just want everythin done right this time. no short cuts or bull. and want it to be loud, deep, and sound good

stratusrt01 · 10-20-2008

Agreed
Not to mention you will have twice as many coils to dissipate heat over.
And power is cheap these days.

stratusrt01 · 10-21-2008

The 300M I did has hit a 149.XX with a pair of 12's, tuned for music on a single SAZ-3000d. It's also brutal on music and sounds louder than that.

Fallen · 10-21-2008

:P thats quiet Rich. :P
My mids do 148.9s on a bad day.

/Sarcasm.

Thats a wicked score.

theycallmeJT · 10-21-2008

how did you design everything? right now i just wanna use the ta7801 for now till i get the kinda money i need to be able to get all the higher stuff

SoundsOfTerror · 10-21-2008

ive used soundstream t5 subs for about a year now and i am very pleased, for the price and for the output they are a great deal. high spl and great for music, imo.
