4 DD 1508's or a single 9515?

[JHarrison13 10+ year member]

Well I'm sitting here and I decided on a few options. I drive a 2003 Nissan Maxima and want to do a "show" type setup. I really want a plexi or lexan see through box. I just love the way they look seeing everything inside. I know it can get pricey.

Here's what I'm deciding over.

1. Single DD9515 running off the new IA 20.1 (Or should I strap two of them?)

2. 4 DD 1508's Not sure on what to use amp wise with these.

I still have to order deadener, wiring, and other accessories so I want to make a final decision on the subs and amps before I do that. Comp wise... I have no idea yet.

Help me choose.

havnt used either, but 4 8s would be pretty cool, ive always wanted to use some

from what i know about the 1508s, they would do well off that 20.1 too, but cant still take more

but like i said, never used either one, just going by what i would do

A show ride I'd do the 8's just for show/demo purposes...they are fun

Yeah, I've researched them and I hear those 8's can take some crazy power if done right. What single amp would you suggest for the 8's?

4 8's will hit louder and lower than a single 15 ...i've ran both...the 4 8's will be close to 2 15's soundwise in the space of one 15

I was leaning toward the 8's more anyway. What kind of power should I use for the 4 of them? So I know what I need to do to my electrical .

I'd try to get atleast 800w each. Thats what I ran and they'd start to get warm after a few minutes full tilt, but they held up.

get the DVC 1508's and run the IA 20.1 at .5 mono if you want an awesome setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ok, I still want this to be nice for shows, but still get stupid loud daily. I'm looking at some amps now.

personally I'd go bigger than a 20.1......a sundown 3000 would fit the bill nicely //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm gonna run a DD Z2lv at .5 on four DD 1508's...if your curious of the power they will take //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You're in my brain. I'm on Sundowns site looking at those.

The amp comparing continues...

3 2500 10's on the IA 20.1 or on an M3. Gets you the multi sub setup, Gets way Loud, and the 2500 will take lots of power. Step to the 3500 10 and then strap to amps.
