I just ordered 2 Kove Armageddon 15" subs off ebay for $650!
Not sure how I'll wedge it in my trunk yet....
I'm thinking about starting with a sealed box.

Has anybody else gotten 2 15" subs to fit in the cobalt trunk?

does this mean I'm a bass freak? hahaha

R&C_rallySS

Yes indeed, you are a freak. + rep for trying to fit x2 15inchers in. LOL that sounds funny, trying to fit 2 15 inchers in it. Give me some rep back! haha

Only if you dont back it up with comparable mids and tweets

wow... two 15's is going go be rediculous... i love bass too, its the first thing ive done to every car ive owned, music just doesnt sound the same w/o it i honestly dont think that you need 2 15's but if that is what you are into, then go for it. +rep for bass!

back in high school I had 2 JL Audio 12W6 in a ported box I
made myself and a Rockford Fosgate amp that was doing about
500 watts at 1 ohm and I was running it at 1.5 ohms :-)

I only went to one competition, but I got 140.6dB !!

For mids and highs I have a polk component set that I had
bought for my last car but ended up selling the car to by my Cobalt.
I have a Alpine DVD unit that has optical output so I can send
that to my Alpine H701 signal processor

This project is like a snowball rolling down a hill.... I'm starting to get scared!!!

that explains my entire car! its always one thing after another

I have 4 12's without too much problem.

You can fit two 15's by using fiberglass for sure

xassin

Do you think I'll need to take out the spare tire and use that space too?
They recommend about 4-5 feet each for a ported box.
Plus I still have to buy amps and find a place to stick them LOL

widebody_balt_ss

hey guys sorry to jack the thred,... butIm having serious amp issues.... it is going into protect mode at like quarter volume.... everything is 1 ohm stable, and i have the sub wired at one ohm.... blah... what is the problem? sorry for a stupid question, but i'v been out of the car audio scene for a while. oh and i have two of the exact same amps. hooked them both up and they both shut off at the same volume...

by the way.... thats going to be nuts! lol... you will have to take pictures when your done!

HackAbuse

Defintely go sealed. I have 6 cu ft of sealed boxes and they take up 75% of the trunk.

You will definitely need to remove the spare

ooo id like to see this installed... im on the brim of ordering my 2 15 woofers but **** i need to stop spending money. I know once i order them ill need like $200 in more sound dampening, a second alt(say 500), more batteries(say 500), ect ect

MTL_G5

Why not get some good 12" subs instead. 15's usually sound like **** anyways Good luck with your project. Post some picks when you manage to get them in the trunk... lol

xassin

In highschool I had 2 12s and it just wasn't loud enough (140.6dB)
So this time I'm going bigger :-) At first I was thinking about getting
6 10s but I have heard a few 15s and liked how they reproduced
the very deep bass, so I went with 15s.

double check it with an ohm-meter?
also, had this happen one time and it turned out to be that my ground wire had come loose and was barely making contact (not on the amp end, the other one), so check on that too.

cblt12

ya i was going to say to check your ground, if thats not it, then check all of you connections to make sure they are succure. im sure you have done this, but sometimes you miss things

bigger isnt always better
i would have gotten 2 better quality 12" subs with a better amp
i think 15" subs sound like garbage, there is so distortion

and with my 1 12" setup, i hit 144.5 dB bigger is not better

cblt12

all i can say is that i love my 1 12... im still on the stock pioneer system except for the amp and sub, but until i get better mids and highs the 1 12 kicks more than enough... but also like i have said if systems are what you are into, and you want somthing crazy, why not put 2 15's in a small ass car lol! it may not sound the best but it will look crazy and will rattle your brain! do what makes you happy!

lol im accepting donations to the JJ stereo fund....

nice score bro... how much power u running? and ill agree bigger isnt always better but its def alot more fun :-)

A bit off topic but if I were to buy subs and new speakers and keep my stock deck, would it affect the music quality that much? The reason I ask is because on my dodge, it has the radio controls on the steering wheel and its sooo convenient

no it shouldnt be that much worse but aftermarket>stock... there are devices to retain steering wheel function on most model vehicles and for most aftermarket decks
