March 18, 201015 yr get a leviathan and run them all? I know that's my next step. 1 Leviathan and 2 Kronos.
March 21, 201015 yr just going by my systems back in the day( yeah im old lol) i started out with 2 kicker 15's and a majestic 400w then went to a 500w and it was a good bit louder, then moved up again to the majestic 800w and it was a good bit louder over the 500. then i got away from majestic and went to us amps and had a us 150 at first and moved up to a us 200, same 15's and box, same car and it was considerably louder. i have the jl hooked up im my truck and have a sundown 1500 in the closet. if i was the best at setting up amps n stuff i would do a comparison to help the debate lol. speaking of which will the sundown accept 2 gauge wire or only 0?
March 21, 201015 yr im guessing it will accept any size 0-and down since its a screw down type input.
March 21, 201015 yr majestic 400w then went to a 500w and it was a good bit louder, then moved up again to the majestic 800w and it was a good bit louder over the 500. Pyschoacoustics are a bitch. If your amps were truly setup right, you didn't hear a difference but your pocketbook made you think you did.
March 22, 201015 yr well like i said im not the best at setting em up, im still in the learning stage. just hope i can get it right with my xcon setup and if i can get good enough at it i want to get one more xcon and another sundown 1500 if i can ever hear back from one of the builders about a box
March 23, 201015 yr well would it be an audible difference going from one sub to 2 on the same amp?Get the Sundown and get another sub, you will be happy!!!
March 23, 201015 yr well would it be an audible difference going from one sub to 2 on the same amp?Get the Sundown and get another sub, you will be happy!!!have a sundown 1500 in the closet. one reason i aint really tried too hard to go with 2 is i cant get any box builders to mail me back unless they dont take me serious or something,
March 23, 201015 yr well would it be an audible difference going from one sub to 2 on the same amp?It depends on the specific scenario. If you double your cone area and double your power (i.e. adding the 2nd sub decreases the load on the amplifier from 2ohm to 1ohm and as a result power output doubles) then the theoretical gain would be 6db.If you double your cone area but power stays the same (such as would possibly happen on a JL amp with regulated outputs) then the theoretical gain would be 3db.If you double your cone area but power halves (i.e. adding the 2nd sub increases the load on the amplifier from 1ohm to 2ohm and as a result power output halves) then theoretically there would be no gain.
