I need some new 15's that will fit in a 10 cube box tuned to 35 Hz......any suggestions that will be not too expensive...but get hella loud/low? :D

Chadxton 06-15-2003 03:17 PM

2 Strokers will do. I have some kicking around I can sell for a mid-end price.

mcchicken 06-15-2003 07:00 PM

Read this review, states that the amp is pushing quite a bit of power.

</font>[/QUOTE]yea its a nice little amp

Pridefcf 06-15-2003 07:29 PM

i just need some subs now that can handle that power im pushing with it...these 4 yr old shockers that i have just arent cutting it...im only hitting a 144

mcchicken 06-15-2003 07:52 PM

What mic are you pulling a 144 on?

No offence but that seems a little low considering the power (over 2000W?) and cone area (2 15's?). You should be able to beat that with half the power with the right subs (on the average mic).

It should be in the 150's

Pridefcf 06-16-2003 04:40 AM

The mic he did that on was stuff.. and the subs are 4 years old..

OK...if you're usually closer to 150 with a low tune (by SPL standards)....that's loud... I don't see how you're going to beat that with only $500.

If you simply want better scores in comps....just build a new box.

Brandon 06-16-2003 07:59 AM

heheh, his box is close to 10 cubes with a monster port....he don't need a new one.
Unless he goes with an ABC, that box enough for most drivers unless he builds a wall.

mcchicken 06-16-2003 08:27 AM

If he is merely looking for #'s on a mic then I really doubt 35Hz is an ideal tuning frequency.

ChrisB 06-16-2003 09:03 AM

it's more important to match the box to the subs then just build the biggest you can..

mcchicken 06-16-2003 09:25 AM

No sh!t.....where did I mention anything about box size?

well my set up is mainly for daily driving...and i usually listen to it pretty loud, but i do need new subs...and if i have to build a new box.. so be it....but i need somehting new...these things bottom out even when im just driving around listening to it pretty loud
