1 Adire Audio Brahma 15" , or a Resonant Engineering xxx 15" . Both very bad ass subs that will easily hit 145+ in the right box.

Ive read so many good reviews on these subs. They seem very very close if you were compare the two, maybe with the xxx coming out on top. What is the price difference in the two?

I think the XXX has a little higher x-max and power handling than the Brahma. Otherwise they are pretty close.

A lot of subs can hit 145 in the proper enclosure and tuned to the right frequency. The key is the enclosure. I assume yu're planning to compete if you're looking for 145db as that is WAY too much for everyday listening. Since you won't be worried about any SQ, port it and tune it to 50 or 55 Hz to max out your cabin gain.

MANY subs can reach 145db's. However, my question to you is what are you looking for out of this system? Are you looking for a pure SPL setup or something along the lines of an SQL setup? If it's gunna be a daily driver..145 will take it's toll, however how loud you listen to it is up to you. Do you plan on competing as well? I'm assuming you do, but answer those questions and we'll further help you.

well it will be in a daily driver...although its my only car that i have, it is still my "daily" but i will compete with it ofcourse but i do love it loud... would a hifonics bx1800d push a XXX or a Brahma good enough tho? what other options...anything a bit cheaper and if so or if not where can I find a brahma or XXX? I want a new one too. Im mainly lookin for SPL but SQ is good too..ofcourse my 15s are losing a lot of SQ but it doesnt bother me i like the way they sound.... i have about 40x37x17 (LxWxH) in my lumina and i do not need any space for hauling sh*t that is for sure so i can use all that space if needed...
