The RMS alone has no bearing on how loud a sub will be. Hypothetically, if you have a 150 watt RMS speaker which was 91 db efficient and put 150 watts on it and a 300 watt RMS speaker that was 87 db efficient and put 300 watts on it, which would be louder? Comp's are 89 dB efficient and 20 mm of xmax, and CompVR's are 86 dB efficient and 26 mm of xmax. They are built to be a better woofer, that is enclosure and install dependent, but theoretically a better woofer. xmax is just like the RMS number. It has little bearing on how loud a sub will be. Look at PA woofers. They have maybe 4 mm of xmax. Yeah they can't normally dig as low, but in the 45-80 hz range they're crazy loud. They also typically have efficiencies of 95+ db. I wasn't trying to say that his new setup wouldn't be louder. I'm just saying be careful about thinking every sub with a higher RMS rating (or xmax) will be louder than what you have. Typically larger subs (in terms of motor size for power handling) are less efficient. I don't know about these two subs, I haven't looked them up. I'm just saying in general. But you also hinted to it. You said Comps (150 RMS) are 89 db efficient and the comp vr's are 86 db efficient. That means you'll likely have to dump twice as much power into it to make them just as loud as the comps. Efficiency isn't the ONLY number to look at, either, but it will give you a better idea than xmax or RMS ratings ever will (provided the numbers are measured in the same way). Yes, you should never base "loudness" on xmax or efficiency. I was simply saying that under there circumstances a swap in subs and doubling the power would be a good deal louder, I cannot say how much louder though, you will have to ask the meter

Welcome

And the ability to completely discharge or sit without damage.

Good night HOP!

Kick ass man, I like the Kicker Square Grille, and your logo of course!

1 million triple A's

Shake like a dog and walk back to your room. Done that one before... slightly more difficult with my amount of hair

I was talking to KU. I think the CVR's and another ZX2500.1 would be quite the upgrade.

thank you and hell yea! now u recommend another battery instead of capacitor Almost always

It would reduce turbulence... would there really be any, if there was it would be easier to just pour resin down the inside. since bein almost 4ft long it would be hard to fiberglass. I doubt there would be much, but resin on the sides wouldn't hurt.

It would reduce turbulence...

Are you gonna fiberglass the inside of that?

How did you come up with that? That is absurd!

Badass Steve, I want to hear it! I might have to take a road trip next summer

Hey Rob, What would be peak power on the BL's? Peak power means nothing. Peak RMS Power however gets over 1500 watts in the right enclosure, if you want more power get a BTL. I would but i dont really have the money to get everything the BTL would require. The BTL doesn't NEED 2000+ watts to get loud.

~1300 watts RMS depending on enclosure.

X2, John had Fi BL 15's off a Sundown SAZ-3000D and did a direct swap with Nightshade 15's and they are louder. I'm running 18s not 15s Yes, I know you are. 18's are very possible with such a badass owner

They look great.

Mornin' HOP!

Great stuff, thank you Jacob! For being such a badass!

Go Team Sundown! I hadn't seen Jacob before, I was expecting some old nerd!
