I'm runnin' the PA2-1600W Power Series amp, with 2 10" FUBAR 1600W, and the 5 farad Capacitor. I haven't had any problems with it and it hits HARD! Everybody has their own opinions on brand names. Quality-wise PA isn't the best, but the cost/benefit ratio is definitely up there! I'd throw in a cap in your bro's system...that'll keep his headlights from dimmin' every time the bass hits. Probably don't NEED a 5F, but it would definitely be better. You'd have to let someone else help you with that. I got mine just to cover my bases if I ended up wanting more subs or speakers, but I got both my subs, rear speakers, + 2 more 6x9's running off my amp and it hasn't cut off yet.

I say it sounds like it'll be okay, but if he's cranking up the bass all the time, you may want a bigger amp, seeing as that subs crankin' out 1500W RMS alone w/2600W max and add a cap. Just my $0.02!

because unless he feels like listening to slow 3 note rap songs, the 15 is right on the line of being to friggin big. the respons will be poor. and the sound quality will also suffer. buy 2 quality 10s, in a quality box, and you have better sound.

urban myths never die....

my SQ ported 15" sounds better then alot of sealed 10" and 12", and is certainly louder then most dual ported 12" systems. Response has nothing to do with the SD of the cone. I listen to everything from death metal to rap and just about nothing in the price range of my sub comes close.


The key is: Don't by crappy subs or they will sound crappy regardless
