Hey, I'm getting ready to upgrade my system this summer(currently 1 12" perfect running off a Kicker ZR600). After some research I've decided to go with one high-end 15" subwoofer. I am willing to spend around $500-600 but that's not set in stone. I was hoping to go with the adire brahma or tumult but I can't wait forever. Any chance they will be out in the next month or so:V:? If not I was also looking at the 13w7, RE XXX. I was just wondering what you guys had for other options in this price and performance range.

Then I need an amp to push it. I was looking at Orion, Memphis, JL, JBL. Want to spend another $500-600 on the amp. Give me some opinions. I would like to match the sub and amp as close as possible and "optimize" the setup. BTW, class D mono amps only.

Let me know what you're opinions are for some good quality stuff in this price range. Been doing a lot of reading on this site and now I finally have some money and I'm ready to start upgrading!:D

It would probably help to be more specific. I am looking for a good SQL setup,. I want to keep the space used reasonable so I am going to go with a sealed box. I drive a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Any ideas?

Just out of curiousity, why not go with two 12's?

I want to keep the price reasonable and still have very high-quality equipment. I also like the deep low's a good 15" can produce. If I went with two 12's i'd have to sacrifice quality for quantity and that's not what I'm looking for.

Ahh, yeah the 15D2. I was just at this site the other day and didn't see that there was any "Available". Can you wire that to a two ohm load? Ideally I was looking for the 15D4 so i could run the voice coils in parallel to achieve 2 ohms. If one is out does that mean more are on the way? posted_image
