Bronze Member Username: SwantlaphoenixTucson, AZ Post Number: 28 Registered: Oct-04 | Im either going to put a 15" Brahma in a 2 cubic foot box or a 12" Brahma in a 1 cubic foot box(both sealed). Now this is my first system and Im not sure which I would be happier with? I listin to rap, rock, Techno, pretty much everything. I love deep hard bass so I was favoring the 15 but then again will I get disappointed listining to techno on a 15??/ Opinions appreciated! |

You are best to go with a top quality class a/b amp over a class D. Honestly if that is what you are looking for then its class a/b all the way. |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bNc Usa Post Number: 179 Registered: Jan-05 | What about a jl 1000/1 |
|
Bronze Member Username: SwantlaphoenixTucson, AZ Post Number: 32 Registered: Oct-04 | well its either that or the rockford Power T20001bd. for some reason I like the RF. The RF is fan cooled. they are both about the same price. Im new to this i dunno. What would you pick? |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 1447 Registered: Dec-04 | if its between the Rf and the JL go JL all the way.you wanna know a very good sub amp that you can get fairly cheap? Go on Ebay and find an Orion HCCA 250G4,GS,or competition amp and run the brahma at 1ohm with 800 watts but it is underrated so more like 900-1000 it is a amazing amp. Or try to find a PPI a1200.2(art series and run the brahma at 4ohms. |

Bronze Member Username: SwantlaphoenixTucson, AZ Post Number: 33 Registered: Oct-04 | why pick the JL over the RF? |

Bronze Member Username: SwantlaphoenixTucson, AZ Post Number: 34 Registered: Oct-04 | hmm. the jl 1000\1 it is. I just liked the RF because it was fan cooled. Are there other brands out there to consider to power this 15" brahma |
