He wants to compete in local SPL comps, and recently switched from bahns to Vega V-Max. Personally I don't like how the V-max meter or sound, so I am trying to get him to switch to Fi.

He is on a pretty tight budget, so I was thinking that the SSD's would be a good option for him to start with.

Should the SSD's yield a noticable increase in SPL from the V-Max if they are in a proper box and and correct power?

I don't know about the V-max

but i do believe liljohn did a direct swap with his kickers and noticed a pretty good gain in loudness...

Well I don't know anything about the V-max either, but I will say that I went from a Kicker CVR 12 to a SSD 12 and it is louder and so much more accuate than the kicker I will never go back. When I got my SSD I didn't expect much from a $189 sub, but all I can say is WoW was I ever wrong.

Bryan, I say get him to try the SSD with the right options.

i heard a v-max before. 6 of them actually, sealed. clean sounding subs but they didnt get too loud considering he has 6 subs in his truck. although he did have a nice 32" screen molded into the dash lol. im serious.

lol, is that driveable with that kind of screen?

ghostface, you are currently running 2 15 Qs hitting around 148? If that is so, and your subs are louder than his vmax, why not just make this comparision to him? What kind of #s is he putting up?

ya i was very dissapointed with the spl of the vmax's but oh well i got a Q and you wanna talk about awesome performance... i havent missed a note yet

He is running in a Trailblazer, and I am in the trunk of a car with seats that don't fold down FTL. He was hitting 151db with a pair of baun 12's (on AC) Because of the different vehicle setups, it's kind of hard to make a comparison. I am assuming that I would be louder setup in a trailblazer, but you never know til you try.
