[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8864540, member: 689267"] Well, I'm not an expert on SPL, always more of an SQ/SQL person. I do know physics pretty well. If you want outrageous volume, you use the subs you have, feed them 6-10000 watts in a 5.5 cu ft box, tuned to around 34-37 hz, even louder at around 63 hz. You don't get both without paying, A LOT! Everything has it;s forte and most things are mutually exclusive unless you pay a boatload of money to accomplish both. you may want to consider going to a couple of 15's too. 140db is pretty lofty for subs under a grand each, it's the dollars to watts ratio, not in your favor. Tuning is consideration also, SPL subs are often tuned inthe 60hz region too, not a great sound but it gets loud. There are many in here that will suggest alternatives, but here are a couple: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ctsounds.com/collections/meso-series-subs/products/meso-12[/URL] ina 1.5 cube box tuned to 37hz [URL unfurl="true"]https://lazercaraudio.com/product/10d4-1500-rms/[/URL] THis is also a great "loud'sh" sub: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.americanbassusa.com/products/hawk-15-subwoofer?variant=43855439429855[/URL] [/QUOTE]
