Don't have a small motor 15.

You could try a BIG15 wired at 4 ohm, but 400 watts is still not a lot of power but it will still make some serious noise.

Dual 12's like our XPe12d's would probably be the best way to go.

A pair of 12s, or just 1?

I have bought an x2400.1 from Morgan...can't wait to get it and see what P towns latest audio nutcases are doing. I have been trying to fix my audiobahn and it is just not going to happen in a hurry. The x2400.1 sounds prefect for the sub...mojo 15 d2 in 5.65 ft total..tuned to 36 hz...should see every bit of that 2400... :D :D :D

I can't wait to do a write up on their equipment...so far everyone has reviewed the little amps. If In the future, I may build an system with solely their stuff. I love the shallow neo motor 10's...that mid bass in the door of the vw is just frigging sick. I see an 18 in the back and the 10s in the kicks of the intrepid...I've already got the kicks made for ti 9's with the mounting ring...bet a ten would sink right into it...hmmmm

I want to hear one of the 18s...like to run some of the 15s head to head with it and see how it stacks up...right now I've got the mojo, a few ti 15s, a few os stroker 15s, and a couple of os gs redline overdrive comp 15s...sq/spl runs...be cool

He is running aq 18s is he not...shit....I am stoked to get it. Morgan should be dropping it off sometime this week...I'll be at the door waiting :D

The a4kdn was too much for the cars electrical...little doubt that is why it is dead. draw on it at 2 ohms was close to 280amps...that was the alt alone...then ac and high amps...and itchy db gain fingers...equals one dead 1200 dollar amp...fuck!!!!

The max on the x2400 is 200...then the outlaw and one m 50 on the side....two kinetics 2400s and a bosch 280 amp alt regulated at 13.8.

I think I am right at around the peak of what I can do with the system electrically. People who strap all that shit on to stock systems are fools...I've seen it fisrt hand...You will fuck up your amps...and your alt...and your car. I knew it, but did it anyway cause the next upgrade to the electric would have been bout 3000...what is done now was close to 2000 with the batteries. I can't do it.

I can't see 2400 not running anything I own or will ever own. I sold the solo's and the rfl's when the amp blew so that is about target

what about running dual alt's for added power, back in the day that was the norm with class a amp's?

That was the 3 grand plus option. The problem is that it is an intrepid...alt is half under the car and no room. They had to dismantal the entire front half of the car to fit the 280 in as it is twice the size of the stock. The 280 was the largest available for the car and I was stuck as the stock went tits up and had to do something right then.

It looks nice, and Ide like nothing more to try it, but having it only available in 1 coil configuration (d2) makes things difficult... Make more options available. d1 should be an option too. d4 would work too

Its a dual 2 ohm driver, final load for most systems will be 1 ohm.

Matches up to all the high powered monoblocks out there perfectly.

You should have more wiring options though like other companies.. For instance, im looking to do a new system with the x5, but cant use these woofers now, because obviously the x5 would destroy 1 of these. More coil options= better. Even if you just made a small number of them, and made them accordingly to demand would be great. Maybe a future option?

If we got orders for the other options, we pursue building them.

Nearly everyone wants a dual 2 ohm driver at this point.
