Best subs

Wondering what everyone thinks are the best subs. Have about 12 cubic feet of box area. Thinking of either 15's or 18's. This would be for mod class.

Wardens ,or DD zzzz'ssss for your build.no more switchin around if you go zzzzz,add

Also I plan to run 10,000 total Watts for now and maybe more
later.

RD heavyweight

DD Z's or the CS Neo's.

But, it depends on your budget also.

rd is the best for most classes but this is a mod 4000+ build. With a man that wants to place well at finals

Incriminator Audio Warden's and Digital Designs Z's will have the strongest motor force for your power range... but Atomic APXX and RD SHW have excellent power handling and efficiency for their price.

To a fair extent, Audioque HDC3, Cascade Omega, DD 9500, and Sundown Nightshade or Z ... are solid SPL subs that will hold up to the power for a short amount of time.

You want to cram alot of power in, but getting loud is all about the box. A good SPL box uses the full excursion of the subs, by providing JUST enough air stiffness to prevent bottoming, for the given power.

With 10kW, you'll want a good platform, and any of the above should do well. Plan on using a few recones when you test at full power, though.

Kicker L5s, 8s not 10s or 12s

DD z`s if u can afford them, IA wardens are also good and RD audio SHW or HW

DD Z's, right now I'm putting close to 7500 to each sub and they handle the power real nice, but the price is up there

On streetbeat and daily.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Just wondering about the Powerbass 15" 4XL subs. I can get them from a local shop

From looks alone, it uses:
- TC Sounds basket = good for long excursion and linearity, but tougher to find spiders/recones (excellent)
- 4" voice coil = usually less sensitive, but better power handling (good for 2000wRMS or more)
- big double-stack motor = plenty of motor force (OK)
- high roll surround = longer excursion, but less linearity (bad)
- kevlar cone = light and stiff moving assembly (good)

TC LMS Ultra 5400


I'd give it an A- on the basic specs... do you have T/S parameters? That will tell more.

No. Just the catalog. Nothing listed for specs there.

actually chris if he needs recone's he can just hit up fixmyspeaker.com an it can be done lol.

IA wardens, DB drive, or even look at PSI

Box is 11.5-12 cubic feet net, tuning will be upper 60's to lower 70's hz range. Have over 500 cubic inches of port area if needed. Looking at 2 18's or 4 15's. This will be in a 2000 Dodge Dakota ext cab. Will be 10,000-20,000 watts total power. Dakota has a wall also.This will be for mainly competition.

4 Atomic APX 15's. I got 4 tens I am selling for $250 each plus shipping. If you want I could take them apart and ship just the motors for $250 each and I'll pay for shipping. I paid $90 plus shipping on my 10" recones, so I'm guessing recones for 15's would be around $110. 15" baskets would prolly be around $30 each. If you do it this way, you can have 4 15's for less than the price of 2. Just a suggestion. Another option is AQ.
