Please Help Me By Picking a Sub

I'm looking for a daily sub with sound quality and the occasional hair trick, that will sound good whether it's Lil' Wayne, Rob Zombie, or Pink Floyd. Many have recommended 2- 15's , and some say 3- 12", what's your call? Thanks!

1) Digital Designs 9500 series
2) DC Audio XL or Level 5
3) FI BTL-N212
4) RE XXX
5) RIVAL 12.22
6) RD Audio Elite or Alpha
7) T3 T.2000

if you go with rd get the alpha 12's great sounding subs for daily an the alpha max's if they still build those are monsters for power, they can take a4500 daily easy.

Well first off what kind of vehicle are you planning on putting this in? Also how much power are you planning on running? This info will greatly help in suggesting the correct sub for your application.

He has one of my d9's. And a Nissan altima. Rd or dc. Imho.

I'm putting the subs in a 4-door Nissan Altima, behind the backseat, aiming to the cabin. I will be running an RD D9 to power the subs, 5400w+

Hey Chris, they are still pushing me away from your suggestion, 2- 15Alphas to the cabin, so I'm debating on taking them out of the equation, but I also want to make sure that I'm getting the best on the market in subs, with the Alphas, since I'd be putting them in an enclosure that's less than what is recommended for them. I don't want to sacrifice sound quality. Trust me, I value your suggestions, and it is my #1 setup choice, but wanna utilize 90% of the power of the D9, also. No sacrifices, in essence.

Chris, how much power will the Alpha 15's need each? Will there be any sacrifices, eg, unused power, poor low end response with the Alphas being ina smaller box? Just wondering?

Got 2 DC level 5's 15's I can let you get very reasonable... pm me if your interested

They will have enough power with the d9. You will need to make the box deeper than one of my builds. To play low. Like 20-24" deep and make the port 30" long. It will smash.

30" long ?? How do you know the port needs to be so long? Ive never made a port anywhere close to 30deep..

I have.. .. 15 deep and turn it behind the subs and 15 more..

Dude. Weve all really tried to help you.. i dont understand .. put 2 15s in the car.. it will slam. I wish you was closer so you could hear my guy Eds car i did with 2 HW and a d9 in a 4 door impala.. youd be sold..

Well im saying theres no reason for it to be that long. Unless its a crutch for a bad design. But usaci forum is the last group to argue enclosure design with.

I know Alan, & I feel like I'm being pushed into something here in town, so I'm thinking about going a whole different direction, & just seeing if there was some other options. Guess I should go with the first 2 opinions I got here, from you & Chris & fuckin do it, idk. just got folks in my ear talkin other Dung Pile, and I've gotten indecisive. Sorry to be a bother! I wish I could hear it all with my own ears, ya know?

LSU fan, Alan?

in ga ill assume you being urged to go the IA route lol or PSI

Look, I'm listening, dont think I'm not. Didn't realize Fish & Allen were the top dogs of car audio, spoke with Huffman on the phone earlier, said the same. Guessing thats why when they speak, nobody else tries to speak over them. Look, I now know, I'm the ignorant newbie, & I should have listened from the get-go, & stopped trying for more suggestions. They had the best idea all along, & thats what I'm going to run.

There ya go, these guys on here are more than willing to help just got to take their word for it, they have there scores and records that speak for themselves.
With the power you have there are lots of possibility's and these fine folks here know how to put it to very good use.

Oh yeah, I've got about 770w with ARC Audio 4150 dedicated to 2 pairs of CDT Audio 6.5 components, & debating if I should go ahead & put another pair of comps in rear doors or just put another 6.5 by itself there? Think i'll need 6 tweeters, or will 4 be good? Also have an 08 Kicker ZX400.1 I could put like 8's or something on it, I know I dont want that drop off when the bass goes above the 80hz cuttoff on the subs?

I say finger out your sub situation now, sounds like you have a good bit on that end at the moment as far as mids and highs go.
