I have been debating on what kind of subwoofer to get and I have decided the Rockford Fosgate HX2 might fit the bill. However one of my problems is what size to get, the 2 10's, 2 12's, or one 15 (doubt I could fit in two 15's). The amp that will be powering them will be a Rockford Fosgate Power bd1500.1 (so were talking 1500 watts for people that don't know). So that would be 750 watts on each for two 10's or 12's. Or I could set 1500 watts on one 15. This setup will be going in the trunk of a vert so I will be lacking in room so I think I will able to serve the one 15 the best since it would get all my trunk. But I'm not sure. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what I should do? I know the 10's and 12's don't need as much air but then again their will be 2 of them. I was also worried if I did the single 15 inch setup that the amp would be putting out to much power. But I heard to HX2's are power hungry and it should be able to take it with no problem.
Thanks for the help, Chris |

If you're gonna go high end 15s, don't get Rockford. DD, Elemental Designs, Treo, etc.. are a better fit.

I'm not rich.  Plus in a trunk who cares about SQ.

You can get decent subs for just as much as that Rockford - "I'm not rich" is a dumb reason.
And what are you talking about with SQ in the trunk. |

2 10's on sounddomain is almost 400. You can get a treo or DD or eD for under 400.
And you can't run 1 15 power on a RF amp. Powers are 2/2 and the amp is only 2 ohm stable. |

he could run the 15 inch at 4ohms if he wired it in series, but he'd only be running the amp at 750wRMS if he ran at 4 ohms...

Not sure the price of the subs. The HX2's I'm looking at ones on sale. |
