either two 15's ported or 4 15's sealed which one?

98 mustang, tryin to figure out the best way to go here, either 2 15's ported or 4 15's sealed. gotta get it done before the show in orange. which should i go with?

the loudest

look for the most db's. and i dont have time to try both

depends you wanna daily driver or a spl number getter
if so got with 4 15's sealed for daily driver , spl 2 15's or 2 18's for sspl but your caben has to be completely sealed for that though

Ported!

2 15's ported will hit better numbers than 4 sealed. My 1st year 2 yrs ago I started with 4 12's in a sealed box, hit a 141db. Got a ported box and downsised to two and hit a 143 same car and amp. Hope that helps.

where do you plan to put all this? I know its not going in the trunk!

If your looking for higher numbers on the meter (which you will see only a couple times a year) then a ported box for the 2 15's, if you want to be a street pounder in your vehicle driven daily then 4 15's sealed is the way to go.

thanks for the help, should the box be around 5.5 cubes or more

ding ding ding!

I was thinking 2 badass 12's would be loudest. (unless he's doin a wall)

yea i do plan on doing a wall, right now I'm running 2 15's and 3 10's but its all sealed. But I don't know anything about ported boxes that's why its still sealed. Any one know what the best box specs would be for 2 15's ported for spl

What size box?

I RAN 5 15'S SELAED IN MY 2001 ECLIPSE AND PLACED 2ND AT FINALS SO ALL YALL KNOCKING THE IDEA WELL THINK AGAIN

OH YEAH THEY WERE L7 15'S AS WELL

I'm not knocking the sealed boxes at all that's all i have run so far, and that's all my uncles ever ran and he set the record in 2003 in was 4 18's in a Chevy hatchback sealed but he doesn't know anything about ported boxes either

So if anyone could help out with what the box size and port should be i would really appreciate that

2003 GOOD YEAR THATS THE YEAR I WAS AT FIANLS WITH THE SEALED 4 15'S ACTUALLY LOL

This was at a really really small show in nacogdoches TX the show was so small that they didn't take the record. Ever heard of mike shepherd?

PROBLY LOL THATS A LONG TIME AGO

Not sure on this, but I ran 2 15's sealed, and then tried one 15 ported.
Got 144 with the 2, and got 151 with one ported.
I had box space issues, so I could not give 2 subs the proper box size, but still, was no comparison.

well nebrsq i was gonna wall it up if i needed to so i don't think space would be this issue but i could be wrong i just need to know about what the box should be built at.

wounder if im the only guy to place that high on a stock sealed design

The first issue to address would be how much power do you have to work with?

i have more than enough power for the woofers i have, im runnin two 15's and 3 10''s as soon in my avitar with a planet audio 1400d behind the 15's and a MA 800 on the ten with a couple of caps. I decided on the 2 15's ported i just needs box size and port size i dont know anything about ported boxes
