what to do with 15 cubes

would the Maelstrom-X beat the pioneer premier Pioneer Premier TS-W8102SPL?

Straight up... In a proper enclosure (both of them) with decent power (both of them) the Exodus will spank the Pioneers. Designed as an SQ woofer, the Maelstrom is VERY happy making enough output for even the most hardened of SPL junkies. Seriously, dude... It's a REALLY good woofer.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Beat them in what way?  Pure SPL?  It all depends on the enclosure design but sure, the Maelstrom has four times the Vas and more than twice the Xmax of the Pioneer so they should get louder with the same power input.  A pair of Maelstroms would absolutely PWN them in terms of SQ and being a listenable system, guaranteed.Support the12volt.com

I experienced Cloverfield last night with one of their Tempest-X subs (the 15" version) in a sealed enclosure.  It rattled the room so much I had to turn it down, and it blended flawlessly with the other speakers (again some more of their designs)  without being too intrusive sounding or boomy.  You won't regret purchasing that sub.

so if i was to get the Maelstrom i would expect alot of spl?

Dude... What have three people (myself included), with a total of almost 13000 posts, told you? Power them right, (and I don't mean with Audiobohm and Power Craptastik) with a proper 500 to 1000 watts each, and they'll rattle the fillings from your teeth.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice.

There is no such thing as a "home audio" speaker or a "car audio" speaker. A speaker's function is to convert electrical energy into acoustical energy and heat. That's what they do. Nothing more, nothing less. With that out of the way, you said you had 15 cubic feet, and wanted to put 2 drivers into it. We have spent three pages telling you that this was the driver for you, and NOW you come back and ask how much space it needs, or whether it will perform well in a car. I'm answering this for the last time: Yes, conditionally. That condition is that you power them correctly. Get the drivers, drop 'em into your box, and go beat your head to a pulp with 'em. (And sound good, while doing it.)It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I agree with what haemphyst said.  cronicjohnson, you asked for advice on using a 15 cuft enclosure,  We gave you that advice.  Now it sounds like you don't have an enclosure.  So what are you trying to accomplish? Support the12volt.com
