    I got my SQL15 D2 2 years ago. I put it in a 1.5 cf sealed box and just love it. Using a Crown XLS2500 bridged (2400 watts) @4ohms it cranks out the lows. I took it down to 8hz with a frequency generator at 80% volume level and it did not bottom out. You couldn't hear anything but cabinet doors, trim work and anything that wasn't bolted down rattling, in a 1800sqf house ! For $316 shipped is practically giving them away. It is a excellent choice on a budget or not.

    you built these in 18" with the Lavoce SAN184.03 as well, which do you prefer? I have 2x svs pb3000 now wanting to try diy route to get a bit more SPL. i'm torn between 18/15 marty cube. the SPL on these 15's seems like it would be PLENTY of low bass. I have 27 inches under my screen so the 18's would have to lay sideways. 15's seem like a good size!

  • @TheGreatTomDix
    @TheGreatTomDix Před 9 měsíci +1

    I really agree with CZcamsrs, but you hit every note for me on this build. Only thing that would make it better is just fancy finishing like a wood veneer or something for people who are good at that type of thing. This is the speaker design, DIY and all that people should be using!

    Loved the video and think im going to build 2 of these. I have 1 question though. If i want to power these with a crown amp would it be better to purchase the dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm version of the driver? Which one was shown in the video and was that the paper cone or the carbon fiber cone? Thank you!

    • @JilesMcCoy
      @JilesMcCoy  Před 4 měsíci

      The dual 2 ohm for sure. Wire in series for a 4 ohm load. The one in the video is the dual 2 ohm.

  • @splatman2
    @splatman2 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Jiles Do you still have the big devastator that you built in your theater room or did I miss you removing that? How does it compare to one or two of these 15s? Obviously that would have to be near field in comparison unless you move the boxes around.

    • @JilesMcCoy
      @JilesMcCoy  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Not any longer. But the dev eats any 15" 1:1 for sure. Its a totally different beast. It has 6" of extra cone diameter. And displacement really matters. Double 15" can even the fight quite a bit though.

    Why is it all these home theater subs cost 3x as much as their car audio counterparts? Comparable specs, same basket, motor, voice coil, tinsel leads, spider...in all likeliness, made in the same warehouses in China.

    • @dwizl7213
      @dwizl7213 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Plain & simple, Mobile audio is a stronger & more competitive industry. Folks have been building mobile ground pounders way longer than home theaters. There's at least a dozen Subwoofer brands in mobile audio that are considered top tier & they're all trying to slit each others throats. The tribalism in car audio is ferocious. These guys have $100k in subs & Korean made amps in an SUV doing over 170db.
      At the end of the day, it's relatively all the same product with a different logo slapped across a dust cap. But if I were to build Subs for a home theater, I'd be doing it with car audio subs. More bang for the buck with identical performance. Hell, even these pre cut flat packs cost quadruple what the top tier car audio guys are charging for their version of DIY pre cut enclosures. Home theater industry are infants in comparison to car audio industry
