If you're looking for SPL over SQ..why not go with Kicker L7's? They're much more of an SPL sub than the Brahma or XXX.

Adire hands down, go with a brahama or a couple of shiva's. You'll get quality woofers and spl and sq will not be an issue. And the brahama would kill the kicker L7 in an spl comp, go to www.adireaudio.com and look at the brahama pic where the guy SPLITS HIS DOOR FRAME IN TWO PIECES, these brahama's are crazy.

The old guy finally showed up to work this morning. Two Eclipse aluminum 12's in the proper sealed box with your existing amp will yield same damn good results and save weight + trunk space. Next your lumina needs to be coupled to the cabin much better. I would be concentrating my efforts as to how to make this happen for either type of enclosure. These subs sound amazing and play to a highly respectable output level with depth. For a daily driver system I would look at these in a heartbeat.

As far as the amp goes, save your $. A difference of 3db is going to be needed fot you to hear a noticeable difference in output levels. Thus to gain 3db you will need to go from 1500w rms to 3000w rms. Changing you amp is not going to accomplish much at all. Pour those saved $ into maybe Titanium subs in a slot ported enclosure and as much as I hate Kicker, the L7's in a slot ported enclosure will do the job as well.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Think someone should in a test situation run a pair of bramhas and eclipses in the same car...same amp..etc.

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

Alright, someone send me both sets of subs and I will be glad to do this little experiment for you guys.

Also 145 isn't that hard to do.
