• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Gonna upgrade my subwoofer setup



your right, should be well within reason. if you can get a non clipped clean signal you could push more to it. but for what you want it should sound just fine.
 
I'll probably get a box locally, a 15 fits in the grand prix right? lol. Definitely going ported. Figured the Brutus is a good choice on an amp.
 
yeah the brutus will get the job done, and a 15 should fit, a correct box will still be big though. but it will fit!
 
I'm an idiot..the p3 that I thought i blew a voicecoil in..I tried hooking up to my amp that wasnt 2ohm stable on a bridge. the highest rms is 1x400 on a 4ohm load. So I just threw away a p3 last week that was probably working. FML
 


was the amp going into protect? only way to tell is volt meter, or stick a 9 volt to the terminals and "pop" it. Box should fit just fine dont worry. just measure it before it goes in

I dont think it was going into protection mode. Maybe one of the voice coils did blow but I looked at the specs of my amp i have now and it makes sense :(. yeah im gonna test it out before i buy it, prob going to Audio Tech again off 159. I've never had issues with his boxes. I have a feeling it'll be $70
 
Local shop around here. The guy sells a bunch of offbrand electronics, as well as a lot of boxes. I don't see it costing me too much. Probably $69, at most $89.
 


Op look into a crescendo amp.. Waaaaaayyy better than the hifonics shiit! Would also go a different route on that 15 too... How much u trying to save up..??
 
Man, thats a big a$$ woofer. Too big for my taste, but then again, I barely fit my two sealed 12's. Hope it turns out killer and that it sounds just the way you want it too. I guess im worried that a ported 15 might give you too much "boom" and rattle the $hit out of everything. Sure as heck will know its there though haha

My goal is to make sure I can hear it outside the car lol. There is a little dynomat inside the trunk area, but not enough to make a big difference. After I get all this put in im going to most likely move my tools/etc into the backseat.

Well that setup should damn sure do the trick! Good luck, cant wait to see pictures.

I used to enjoy having just the 12" with the vpower 500 amp, this time I'm almost doubling the wattage and having 3" bigger of a sub in a larger trunk :D . should go well with the monsoon sound system. Figured a white pontiac with 18" wheels and tinted windows needed a large boom haha

L M F A O!!!! Are serious bout that..?!? Your goal is to hear it out side the car??!!
Just make sure you get a box built around your cars cabin gain... Will a sound good and if the whole system is tuned correctly you will be able to hear outside the car and some! :-)
