Hey guys I am looking to get a 15" in the 1500-2000 RMS range, depending on what would work best with my final decision. I listen to mostly Rock, Alternative and Rap/Hip-Hop. I like getting loud more then really caring about quality. So I believe a driver geared more towards SPL might be a good decision?? This set-up will be going in my Extended Cab Ram, so I have quite a bit of room to work with. Sub: Sounds like XCON might not be a bad choice. Even though its more SQ then SPL? Need suggestions. Would like to get Dual 2. Amp: Sundown SAZ- 2000/1500D would be my #1 choice. Depending on driver choice. Looking to run it at 1 ohm. Box: A local shop does good work on boxes so I will probably have him build it. Electrical: This is where I have the most questions. I know I will need to do Big 3 in 1/0, and my main power run and ground of 1/0. Is an Alt necessary for 2KRMS daily? I know i will need a battery as well, but have not looked into those yet. Goals: Really just want something that will get loud and be impressive for when people ride with me. Would like to be able to feel it in my ears IF that is possible, as well. Budget: Pretty much unlimited. I am willing to pay whatever I need to, to get this done RIGHT. I was told to do that the first time, and I did skimp a little. So this time I want to do the opposite. This will be a slow process of saving up and taking my time. Although I do not want to spend an arm and a leg. Deadener: Is this necessary?\ Reason: Just want louder. Nothing wrong with current set-up, just want louder. I hope I covered everything I needed to. Any input you guys can give me will be appreciated. Thanks.

hmm. so far im leanin towards the XCON SD deal. Just pointin that out because for about the same price with the AQ2200D you'd get 700wRMS greater than the SAZ-1500D, and the BTL is rated for 2000wRMS vs. the xCon's 1750wRMS... BTL 15" - $384 AQ2200D - ~$389 Not that the others aren't solid contenders though Plus the options on the BTL as well. I already have a Fi, so I was thinking about trying a different brand this time.

haha Shizzzon that vid is great!

Package Deal from SSA FTW! What about electrical? Enclosure size?

OP updated.

Alright thanks guys. I was thinking either XCON or BL. so I am glad to know I was thinking in the right direction.

what kind of electrical is needed for 1500-2kwrms? i know big 3 in 1/0 and power/grounds 1/0. is an alt necessary? im guessing a battery would be a very good idea as well? deadening im sure is a good idea too. besides the amp to push it, driver to take it and box to put it in lol

really hard to tell from video, but sounds like clipping. i would re adjust your gains and see if it gets better please read post 17

hey guys i turned on my sub today and got a new weird sound ive never heard before. everything has been fine the last few months, until today. it sounds like a lower pitched rattle of some sort. i listened and it seemed to be coming out of the port. i could smell just a hint of glue, and the cone was warm. anyone got any ideas? if you need any more info just let me know, ill do my best to get it. thanks.

ill look and see. thanks

got about half a pound of polly-fil in my box. it got some the quality back.

its got an Infinity sound system so its actually very good. more then enough for me. i want a sub that can keep up with it and maybe overpower it only when i want to

lol. i want something that i can feel in my ears.

when i first did my system last year i thought i was doing something cheap and simple. it ended up bein a lot of work and more money then i thought. and that was only 1 12. i cant imagine doin everything your wanting for the price your thinking. id tone it down a little but thats just me. if its what you REALLY want, go for it

can hear 18 but not 19. had tubes in my ears when i was little. have failed every school hearing test ive ever taken. im 16 almost 17. i can also hear the whine from my old 32" Toshiba TV.

You got some problems if u dont believe your wife telling u where in the building you live. I dont think thats happened to anyone. LMFAO! probably the funniest thing ive read in a year on this forum!

sorry it was my first time and i had someone else build me the box.

your an expert compared to me! BTW, i stopped at your daughters work on the way home.

im not sure what you mean by frq dial. if you mean the x-over yeah i had it set around 80. and with all settings down yes it was still there. me and Chuck (ChicagoFan) actually tuned on it for 30-45 minutes tonight and its definitely hurt. i guess over time it just got to be too much. we got it to a happy medium where its not doin it AS LOUD but still there, as it was there no matter what we did. we got it to a decent level and we will see what happens from here, how much longer the sub lasts. my box is actually a little smaller then what Fi recommends so i am going to get a bag of polyfill and throw that in my box and see what happens. i will try to do that tomorrow most likely. thanks everyone for your help so far.

can hear it decently in this vid under the camera distortion. it just sounds like choppy bass and not smooth. its a lot more noticeable in person and just sounds horrible. can hear it in the first part of this one where the camera is lookin at the port. its on the lower notes more then higher ones.

should i have done the vids of it free aired? i did them in the box. let me know if i should do a couple more with it free aired. the vids are uploading now!

yeah. ill get on that tomorrow after school. after listening to it a little more, another way i can think to describe it is instead of the bass sounding smooth and crisp, its choppy and rattly sounding. maybe im clipping the heck out of it. but i dont smell glue. and theres no thud sound like its bottoming out. it just started happening randomly

anyone got any ideas? thanks
