15" subwoofer?

JrumMusic · 05-16-2012, 12:40 AM

Was wondering if anyone has put a 15" subwoofer in a 370z before. Did tons of looking and found natta!

I don't think someone has, if your looking for bass for your rock music I would go with a single 12, as 15's can be sloppy in producing solid bass notes like drums. Also have you heard a 12 in a z? It is seriously loud!

My JL Audio 10W7 in a Zenclosure is seriously loud driven by a JL Audio 750.1 amp. A 12 would be awesome, but a 15 would be insane IMO!

+1.........

I have two 6'' JL Audio (6W3's) SW & they sound really good. In my personal opinion I believe the 15'' would be over killed. On top of that you are driving a sports car.

i have to agree a 15 would be too much in a Z a good 12 or a couple 10's is more then enough, BUT if you do want more with out sloppy look at a Boston Acoustic SPG-555. you will need some serious power on it, but...so worth it, i was on the fence with one of these, but the install wasn't going to work for me and what i need for space. went with 2 G3-10's from BA instead.

15? You must hate your hearing.

A 15 in a Z is bonkers. If you're into rap, or just want the loudest SPL system then go for it. Otherwise, go with a smaller woofer.

I had 2 15s in my Camry right after high school. Literally made a girl vomit from the bass once.

I have a 12" JL and its perfect!

I had 2 15s (Eclipse DVC) in a Prelude a decade ago - and that was insane. I can only imagine it in a 370.

Ditto on what bigaudiofanat said...... However.... If u are, u might as well go for an 18" sub and do the unexpected... Be a hero!!!!!

OP and his new sub

+1........ I had 2 Rockford Fosgate DVC 15's with a 1k watt mono amp & this was 15yrs ago. I will not go back to that again & I had that in a truck. I probably wouldn't go any more than 2 JL 12's, but that might be a little over kill. You have to think we are in a sports car that is very compact inside. I have 2 JL 6's & it sounds awesome & each one is right behind the seat. You could also fit a JL 8'' in each spot as well. At the end of the day it is your money & your car.

I have 2 10s (JL W3v3) in my R32 now and it's loud as hell.
Still figuring out what I'm doing for my Z.
