I have 2 15 inch 4ohm dvc audiobahn in a sealed box. The spl is not good or clear enough for me. I have so much air space I have thought about 3 10s or 12s. I also wonder if I should go to ported or bandpass. I have a Kole 1440 . any sugestions.

well you wont pick up anything in the sq catagory by porting the box...what models are the subs? if you are looking for sq in general 15's arnt really the way to go...how big of a sealed box are they in?

Is the box one open enclosure r are the subs seperated? Is the amp wired in 2ohm mono or 2ohm stereo?

The amp is wired 4 ohm mono the speakers will shut the amp down in 2ohm. subs seperated. there is a divider in between them. I have them firing in the box magnets pointing towards the back of the truck. If I have the back window up it sounds ok but if I open it it sounds a lot better.

i know the specs on some sites say 1.5 to 3.5 cuft boxes. but I wouldnt go over 2 cu ft per sub....These subs dont have the excursion or mass to produce very high spl.....but the will hit, i just think the box is way to big
