Thanks for setting me straight on my components ive fixed the problem by running cleaner power to the comps. Now my next question is I have a passion for chest bursting bass so sealed boxes are a preference, One of the voice coils i think just went out on my alum12q's I own a pair and they did the trick and still do just a little chirping noise like a cricket when the bass hits at high volume i cant here it!! so since one of my 12's need replacing will i get the same chest pounding that my 12's gave me with 15" running 1500watts rms? and if so which ones?

    15s will be a lot louder and a good bit deeper than 12s, but at the expense of box size and, especially, sq. unless you get rather expensive subwoofers, they will sound floppy and loose. loud as hell, but loose.

    if you want massive spl, go with orion's h2 (i think that's the right one). i'm not an spl guy, but an awesome sub is the titanium series from eclipse... they're sql subs.

    actually, unless its 1500 watts at 1 or 4 ohms, look for a different sub
