KU40

oh yeah brass monkey i'd love to. problem is.....I live in Hays for the summer. And I was gonna do this project in the next month or two. so I wouldn't have my ED stuff when I got back, and I wouldn't be able to hear yours before I get back either. but afterwards if I have my 15D2, we can compare to your 12's. I also have JL XR's in front, but just the 2 way comps.

well this all sounds promising. thanks fellars. Now I just have to think of a box design. the opening to my trunk from behind my seat is only about 13" tall, though the back deck raises up a little behind it (has a lip on the front). not sure if it's tall enough, though, so I might have to slant the box a little. not really what i wanted to do at all.

thanks for the response. I was kinda worried it would like a box closer to 4 cubes, but I'm worried because I think I can only fit about a 4 cube box before displacement. And if you say to try 50 sq. inches, that'll make for an awfully long port which'll displace quite a bit of my room. with my calculations, I may only be able to give it 35 or so. that would leave me with 3.5 cubes after displacement. I'm gonna power it with my Crossfire BMF 1000D, so it'll get 1000+ watts. oh, and i'm not too worried about the response graph winISD gives me. I was just worried about group delay and the semi-high Le of the driver affecting how tight it sounds. plus I don't know if facing forward helps or worsens the accuracy

So I need some testimonials. I've read most of the threads related to them on here, I just want MORE! nah not too much. I've just gotta nut up and do it. I'm thinking about putting a 15D2 in a 3.0-3.5 cubic foot ported box, one tune to 32 hz or so, another to 45 or so. How much port area does this sub like? Also, I'm a fan of quick, tight bass. Will this setup deliver for me? I'm forward-facing it in my trunk, and sealing off behind it. I was just a little worried because the group delay is 2.5 times that of my current setup of four sealed flat cone ED 12K's. And the Le on the D2 seems high, but does it make a difference if the sub is wired in series or parallel? looks like in their specs they have it in series, so I was just wondering. Thanks to all who respond. except those who just like to post whore. you just suck

Man I have to become a newbie again? I thought after 5 years in this game I'd get a little more credit than that
