BEST set of 12" SPL sub's in a sealed box???

Bronze Member Username: Transamkid2000Post Number: 18 Registered: May-05 | Ok guys...I got a big question for you...it has probably already been answered in some respect, but I have regulations on the subwoofers available spacing. I want to know, what is the best 12" subwoofer out there for SPL. I don't care about SQ, I just want straight SPL. I have an alpine CDA-9833 head unit, a phoenix gold xenon 1200.1 amp (1200 rms @ 1-4ohms) and a 2.2 farad cap. I have a sealed box that is now housing 2 10" W7's but it does not hit hard enough. They have 1.1 cubic feet per chamber and fire straight up towards the back window of a 2000 Pontiac trans am, so I decided to get the box cut to house 2 12" woofers that can have 1.1 cubic feet available. With my setup now, what is the best set of SPL 12" subwoofer that I should get (money is not an issue). p.s. I saw someone with 2 12" diamond audio m6's in a sealed box with a 1350 rms amp hit 144.3 DB in a sound competition on Sunday...I was leaning towards these subs now... These pics are what I have now    |

Bronze Member Username: Transamkid2000Post Number: 20 Registered: May-05 | yah, im looking for 2 12inch subs to replace these 2 10w7....what about 2 12w7!?  and i checked my amplifier and it runs 1200rms at 14.4 volts...my car runs at a steady 13.8 volts so i know there is some math equation you can do to get rms X volts...im assuming it puts out around 1100 rms with my set up... I heard RE, Diamond audio and a couple of other subs are really good...how about 2 12" MTX 9500 subs? as for selling the 2 10w7", i got them for 550 at tweeter and used them for 2 months so far...i was thinking about selling them for 375 a piece...I havent given any thought to it yet |

Gold Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 1666 Registered: Nov-04 | oops thought they had more rms. sorry. kinda weak. but im telling you lethal injection buddy. i think they would work pretty damn good. the w7s would also, but nnno one has the lethal injections. you could try the x.xx from reaudio, or earthquakes subzero. shocker super extremes(the sigs are too crazy for your app)or you could go 1 15 and give it more space. |

I would really get two amps one for each ten then upgrade if it still sucks. (oh or port those w7/s man that would be nice) |
