Posted August 15, 200916 yr ok so currently i'm running a setup of 4 IDQ V3s sealed with 3kw, the subs are firing up and i dont like this much, vibrates alot more compare to 2 more powerful subs i've had firing forward, so now i want to go with 3 15s and firing them forward into the cabin, then sealed off the front side of the box.this is purely for an ""SQL"" install, some days i love to feel air moving, other days i love to just enjoy music for what it is, i wanted to do this design with the IDQs in a ported box, but i think it's just going to have too many issues, and the 3 15s should have more displacement over the 4 12s also.so here's my questions regarding the 15" FLwill the FL take 1kw daily? my guess is yes.will the FL do fine in 3cuft ported @ 20hz, or will it want a bit more airspace?will IA make custom coil options? say dual 1.5ohm or dual 6ohm coils?I live in Australia so it's not as simple as just making a phone call here cheers.
August 15, 200916 yr The term """SQL""" is not very accepted here and i think 3 15's in any application will be plenty loud.Wth. It capitalizes automatically, that's funny. Edited August 15, 200916 yr by takniteasy

Yes, they shouldn't have any problem with that power, at least as long as they build them as good as the 187 I have, which I'm sure they do 2. I'm not certain, since I don't have any experience with them.3. They have dual 2's, but whether they could do custom coils, you'd have to talk to Nick. I wouldn't see why they couldn't. Might change the T/S a little, but shouldn't be much.If you don't mind me asking, why do you want 3, and why do you want custom coils?Cheers,Kef
August 16, 200916 yr Author 3 is the most i can fit while being ideal, 9-10cuft is about my limit, and custom coils so i can get a 1ohm load with 3 subs.

I'm just trying to grasp your reasoning behind it. Your shipping costs would be higher, and you'd have less than ideal airspace versus a pair. You'd also have headroom with your gains on a pair versus 3 on the same amp.Kef
