12&15

[Porsche]

hey guys, looking for a killer 12 and 15, something in a ported enclosure that will shake the foundation of a house and still sound killer for music. looking for a 12 and 15 that will work in a smaller enclosure upto 3 cubic foot for each driver

thoughts, recommendations. will be using with a dayton dsp 1200 watt amps

you will have to sacrifice bass extension if you want house shaking SPL in such a small box. Try 2*B&C 12TBX100 in 60L with a 300cm^2 port tuned to 43Hz. That will do 123dB down to 40Hz. here is a hornresp record:

there is also the BG100 if budget isn't an issue. In the US the lab12 may also be worth considering.

Mostly for home theater or music?

home theatre 75%, music 25%

I would move up to an 18" for 3ft with a couple passive radiators per driver tuned low.

Something like this or the Lavoce equivalents.
B&C 18TBW100-4 18" Professional Subwoofer 4 Ohm

Also more expensive options if you wanted even more output.

This will get you the best of both worlds.
