sub dilemma!!
Saturday, January 06, 2007 5:57 PM
(ok so i currently have a low budget) setup in my car. 2x 12" volfenhag 1200 watt peak dvc subs and a 1200 watt volfenhag amp. not the best. i know but thats what i have. i just bought a 12 inch L5 used for 100 bucks with a box. the dilema is that i dont really want to let go of the 136.3 db i can produce currently. and dont have the budget to go buy a new amp or another l5 so im wondering if anyone is hitting anywhere near that with one l5? i can build a new box. thats not the problem and actually plan to eventually if i put the L5 in. and a new amp is out of the question in the future. if not im keeping what i have in the cav and i will just put the L5 in my jeep. very torn here.

i hit 140.6 all 3 times at one comp with one 15. the enclosure is a big part of how loud ur setup is. i got a pricey sub but a kit with the same sub bought a box from the dealer and its no where near as loud. has to be ported too

-I hit a 140db right now on my current sixth order. Great sounding box, but only if you do the math right.

-AND who gives a flying @!#$ how loud it is. Music/audio is not about how hard you hit, its about how good it sounds.

ill put it in tomorrow if it isnt raining. then i can let everyone know how that worked out in the sealed box i have for it. but i did an install with an L5 in a lancer and that was only at 125ish. dont really remember the exact number. and he had a new alpine v12 amp.

allot of is variables. ive had a single 12 with 130 watts doing 132 db's before playing music not a test tone. i have 2 10's with 700 watts total right now doing right around 140dbs. that sub can be made to outdo your volvenhag subs i'd bet, just going to have to work on the install to get everything out of it.
