tired of kicker, need opinion of best spl sub

[airbaged del sol]

the amp i have is an audiobahn a1800d, and is suppossed to put out around 1800 watts at one ohm... 1200 at 2 ohms, i already blown a kicker l7 15 in a sealed box, and now a kicker l712 in a ported box. both setups were only at 2 ohms........ the amp is pretty serious, my buddy is running 4 alpine type r's off one of these..... id like to keep the enclosure no more than 3.5 cu ft..... need opinions fast.... sound quality doenst really matter, just want some massive bass....

You could probably run 2 JL12w6v2s off of that amp, there really good SPL subs and can handle about 600 watts a peice, the amp probably puts that out at 4oms, The max watt rateings is what amps are rated at the factory right before they catch on fire. So in reality your amp probably puts out 1000 watts, theses subs should be fine paired with the amp and a ported box.

mine bench tested at 1790 for 5 minutes at 13.8 volts

Who did the benchtest cause that doesn't sound right. Best spl sub for comps are best spl sub daily driving? Best spl sub would have to go to digital designs 99 or 95 seris. Best spl/sq sub, Image dynamics IDmaxs.

How about a Kove or Stroker? What do you want to spend?

[airbaged del sol]

price dont matter to much...... i hear some good thing about a sub called the death penalty, and another one called the re sx??? anyone know of these and where i can find more info

[dropcivic]

RE are some of the best bang for the buck subs. Death pentalys, one of the guys on our team runs them and is ranked pretty damn high up on the rankings for street c.

RE SX, Incriminator audio Death Penalty is supposed to be serious but is a lot of money, the new SI D2 Magnums are now in stock, ED K's are in stock, look into some DD's

Audiobahn 1505Q it 1200 rms but it it will take more power its dual two ohm or on of the the New Audiobahn Enternal Series sub the 15 holds 2250 watts rms.

:roll: :bsflag:

If you are saying that audiobahn could be installed in a car that would rank up among the loudest of the loud. Now this also depends on the meter. Lets say that you are using an older audiocontrol, loose meter. This means that you would be ranked up with me, a 152.9. Now i run some serious stuff here in a purpose made box.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see an Audiobahn setup doing 145-150, but 150+ is pushing it. Is this outlaw, is the mic placed on the dash or what? There's alot of factors....

[mafro]

we have an suv that we did with 2 15s and 2400 watts that hits in the 150s. The mic is placed on the floor under the dash its a linear x mic. Befor int the sam suv we did 4 12 with the same amount of power that hit 151.2db.
