Loudest sub

Here you go: http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/Dan/Parthenon/

BTW, you still haven't answered my question to give you the best answer.  Are you looking to go as loud as possible at one frequency (as in for SPL competitions), or is this more of a daily driver install?

In that case I would recomend looking for a driver with a great deal of linear excursion (Xmax).  But you have to be careful about this as there are some companies who rate their Xmax differently than others.  Is enclosure size an issue?  Do you want it to sound good?  What kind of music do you listen to?

If you are experiencing frustration over the replies you are getting it is because your question is absurd.  There is NO answer, its to subjective, your not specific enough, you don’t have all that much room, and I doubt you can afford some of the suggestions made to you.  So what’s the point? There is always something bigger, something louder, something better.  Your question should be more focused and give real world requirements.  You say you want pure SPL, then you want something that would be more of a daily driver; ie sq.

The question is like asking, "what is the best car for racing".  I don’t know.  A funny car. well unless you want to turn the damn thing.  One of those nascar cars?  maybe if im going to make left hand turns on slanted tracks all day.  Maybe rally cars like a WRX or Lancer?  hell yeah!  but i bet those F1's can smoke em on tight turns and pavement.  Without defining a purpose it’s an open-ended question.

its not that open ended if u read it. 1000 watts. 1 sub. what would be the loudest. just from past experiences or whatnot, i dont see how its so difficult.
