DD3515 0r DD 9515
rd alpha v.2
treo ssx. you may have too much power for the ssi
re sx
HDC3 15

IMO that is the order i would look in that order

i would forget about Scotts Dc LVL 4's unless you know someone who would buy the other one as they are sold in pairs.


i'm thinking that you should be able to fit a ported 6 cubes box after port/sub displacement. if not after displacement, before displacement at least.. which would easily be good for a 2-12" setup.
downside is more money for subs and more power needed with above mentioned subs as well as electrical upgrades for more power. i imagine your keeker amp is hel_l on your stock charging already.

other option. downgrade subs (ex 2-treo ssi's) on 1500 wrms would wang in right enclosure.

if you get a chance, measure max dimensions of available enclosure area and post.

if you can find a used re xxx 0/4-0/5 model that is dual 1 or dual 4 ohm. That would be your best bet. Call me

Out of your list.. the SX would be the best SQL sub.. compare the t/s specs and you'll understand

the SX is not an SPL sub.. where as the MT would be

rms on the SX is 1000rms.. 1500rms would be plenty of power.. more than the RMS but still not too much for the sub to handle unless you set your gain wrong and abuse the sub by how you play it

you should have no problems fitting it in an EXT cab.. we ran an RE SX 18" in my friends old small Mazda EXT cab on a massive 1500.1

bump it full tilt for a long period of time.. especially if the box is not to specs..

certain h/u will start sending a clipped signal after a certain volume.. listening after that level sending a dirty signal as well

setting the gain incorrectly..

playing music well below tuned frequency..

incorrect xover points..

the list could go on
