15" subwoofer?

JrumMusic · 05-16-2012, 09:04 PM

My hearing has been gone since i was 18 when i had 4 15"s in my blazer haha. But Im a music producer, so i love to reference my mixes in the studio, iphone, car etc... I currently have a single RE Audio SXX10" dual 2 ohm wired to 1 ohm load at 1k RMS in it now and its super loud!!! But the bass isnt as loud as i want it 2 be. I was wondering how a box would be built to accommodating the woofer depth of a 15" sub.

Since I already have 15's. Im going to be using just one in the z in a removable box, but on top of the spare tire section. I was trying to find others who have done this but I also found nothing. If I do it soon, Ill let you know how much airspace, etc. there is to be had. Everyone says it's crazy, but so is buying a two seater with no backseats. I love extreme.

Just sell it and get a smaller one.

who said anything about losing hearing? manning up is losing hearing? wow.....not even sure what to say to that. it was a show vehicle. he should do what he likes and what he thinks he will enjoy. if he wants to do a 15" then he should. if he wants to do an 8" bazooka, he should do that.

i think its funny how you act like you are the end all be all for car audio, and everyone else that has an opinion that is not the same as you is somehow below you. and yes i do have a background in car audio, and am not just someone talking out of their ***. i went to mobile dynamics in tempe, az and have worked at high end shops around the valley over the last 15 years like az auto werks, unique audio, etc.

I agree if thats what he wants go for it, however people think thats way to much for a Z including me. If he wants a SQL setup go for it, competition is great, just I go for SQ competitions myself. Never understood the whole bass thing.

Were you preparing to build your own woofer?

That's like asking me to sell my first born son. I've been to hell and back with these subs and there's no way I'd sell them. I've had them in an s10, acura legend and my audi s4. I suppose my 500 horse s4 is too much as well. Like i said, I like extreme because everything else is mediocre in my opinion. Just because I have 500 horsepower doesn't mean I haul *** everywhere I go. Same with my stereo system, just because I have had 15's and more than 4,000 watts doesnt mean I would turn it up all the way at any time. It's just nice to know I have it.
