what was it powered off of?

its a JBL GTO 14001 I take it the BP power will handle 1500 rms in a large 4 cubic feet box? my subs are dual 1's so w/ 1 the only option is 2 ohms and 2 the only option is 4 ohms

Sorry to keep beating on the dead horse here but One last time I want to get everyones opinion here box time is Friday so 1 15" Q in a 4 cube Box Ported @ 32 hz with 64 Sq Inches of Port Area vs 2 15's Sealed in a 5.2 Cube Box 1 15 Q would be Recieving 1500 Watts of power @ 2 ohms 2 15 Q's would be Recieving 1200 watts @ 4 ohms They Both have BP Power can 1 15 Q handle 1500 Rms daily in a Large Ported Box? I just want to get some more opinions and I'll make my decision and leave you guys alone Which will be louder?I'm thinking about going sealed cause it will sound significantly cleaner and I wont be pushing the Subs to the limit or the amp to the limiti that way Also another question does the amp still draw the same power in a 4 ohm load as it does in a 2 ohm load? Let me rephrase that does it tax the electrical system the same regardless of the impedance it runs at?

I already got 2 15" Q's dual one ohm, This is going into a Mustang which is replacing the back seat yea thats what I was thinking the installer was trying to talk me into doing a wall but I dont really want to do a wall, maybe I should just go sealed 5.6 was including woofer displacement port volume not factoring in bracing, So I think Sealed it is I should be able to easily do 5.2 sealed after displacement bracing etc

Here is the Max Dimensions im working with Height 1 18.5" Height 2 23" Depth 17.5" Width 38.5" 2 15" Q's I figured out if I got with 65 square inch of port (which is only 10.8 per cube) I would have 5.6 cubes internal volume @ 32hz will this be alot louder than 5.2 cubes sealed? I could go with external ports and make it something like 5.8 cubes maybe, Box will be gettin done next week and I'm freaking out cause I want it to be loud Do you think sealed these two 15's will still be alot louder than my old 2 12's Kicker CVX's in a 3 cube ported to about 34hz? I'm gettin a headache just thinking about it

alright im still debating on what kind of box to get and the installer is saying that if he goes with 4 cubes after the port with a huge port so its like 5.6 with the port that it will still be way louder than a sealed box true of false (w/2 15s)

so it would be 22 x 22= x multiply by pie? My bad thats the cone diameter radius is half the diameter?

How will it compare to the IA Death Penalty 21 The 22" BL that is? How does 1 22 have more cone area than 2 15s? what is the formula to figure that out?

Next year im planning on gettin an expedetion and either one of these amps or a 3500 (probally the 3500) my question is, what kind of electrical upgrades do you need (how many amp altenator) and what kind of battery/ batterys for the cheapest setup to power it, (also is this thing capable of powering 4 15" ssds?

Also my deck doesn't have a sub output so if there is one that can take front and rear rca inputs and have a front rear and sub rca output that would be nice

What kind of Parametric EQ do you guy's recommend? I have a clarion deck, it only has 2 volt pre-outs but its loaded with options such as you can rip someones cd directly on the deck, SD card mp3s, Ipod etc etc. Anyway it only has Bass and Treble for EQ therefore I want to either get a Parametric EQ or maybe one of those high speed 30 band eq's with the clipping light on each band, What kind do you guys recommend? money is a concern and its gotta be black Also where should the eq on my deck be set at when i get one 0 for bass and treble or -6 for bass and treble? I would also like it to be a min of 7 bands

how do you think this would sound compared to 2 15s?

I have a question actually with these two subs, i have two infinity 6x9s (not hooked up yet) and im looking at gettin a set of infinity componets i want lyrics to be really loud and bass not to totally overpower it so im thinking about having a custom door panel done what am i looking at to get everything to sound loud without treble bass or midrange overpowering 3 sets of componets 2 sets of componets? my 4 channel is a soundstream tarantula that "puts out" 105 rms x 4 at 2 ohms which is what the infinity speakers impedence is

yea i think im gonna go sealed though first off Im gonna wait for a while and sound deaded the car =( subs will be here monday

Is this really coming out? If so what series are they gonna make? BL? Q? and How will it stack up versus the Death Penalty 21? I'm gettin a SUV next year and I want to get either the DP 21 or Fi 22 if there is going to be such a thing

So I take it this is a ported only sub?

155 in my 04 Mustang Gt let off the throttle 14.7 @94mph in the 1320 (yea i know its slow)

So how does the 21 sound? is it pretty much strictly for SPL or does it have decent sound quality or? what's the recommended enclosure for it?

One more question (i already got 2 15s on order) how would 1 15 ported @ 4 cubes @ 32 hz sound vs 2 15s sealed at 5.2 cubes subs have bp power amp would push the 1 to 1500 watts at 2 ohm or the 2 to 1200 watts @ 4 ohms (1500 watts sound's like its pushing it) anyway the 2 would have more output sealed I would imagine right or no?

I'm only pushing 1200 watts rms @ 4 ohms by the way, amp is a JBL GTO 14001

Yea basically 6 cubic feet is about as big as i can get without sacrificing my trunk we are talking about where the backseat of a mustang used to be but what i was thinking was having external ports like holes on the side so i can get the full 6 cubes what's the most rms power recommended for daily driving?

well its gonna be getting pushed by 1200 watts rms I got the bp power ones will that be good for daily or is 1200 watts not going to push it to its potential? this is pretty much just for daily so I want these subs to last Amp is a JBL GTO 14001 claimed to put out 1200 watts @ 4 ohms and 1500 watts @ 2 ohms subs are dual 1 ohm does this amp really put out this wattage it is CEA compliant or do you think this is an inflated number?

Noone is puttin in there 2 cents

We'll I see from Port calculators that in order to have the required 12 square inches of port per cubic feet i would have to raise the tuned freq up to 34 hz or lower to less than 12 square inches of port per cubic feet pro's and cons needed, Now maybe the Port could be Folded to achieve 32 hz I dont know im not a enclosure builder what is the pro's and cons of 32hz (which is what you recommend) vs something higher like 35hz? With 35 hz is there gonna be certain notes im not gonna hit or are low notes just not going to be as loud vs 35hz I noticed the BL's are rated 32hz to 37hz what is the difference between it and the Q that make it's recommended tuning freq higher than the q? or maybe I should just skip all these complications and go sealed but I really want ported correct me If I'm wrong but doesn't the tuned freq have a 6db boost?

i think i'd be able to meet the minimum recommended ported box so sound wise 5.6 cubes ported @ 32hz vs max sealed 5.2 cubes how will it sound different I know the ported box would be a lot louder but what will be deeper, be able to hit more notes etc?
