Can anyone suggest a sub that rivals the RE SX (or better yet - one that beats it)

Thanks, guys. Just wondered what all of your answers would be. I almost bought an SX today, but withdrew. There's got to be another sub out there that's just as loud, etc. optimized for a sealed enclosure! |

But JL 13W7, Alpine Type X, IDMax, are all great SQ subs that are optimized for a sealed enclosure and also can get pretty loud. But none of these subs except the 13w7(maybe) will get as loud as the SX can in a ported box. |

I had an IDMAX and I definately want louder. It lacked SPL for my tastes. REALLY CLOSE TO WHAT I WANT, though. Really close!!! Any recommendations? Is TREO SSI gonna fit my needs, you guys? |

Anonymous | well nobody knows yet.. but checkout the RL-s from SoundSplinter. optimized for sealed enclosures! a lot more money though |

Silver Member Username: VoodoochildeGreencastle, Indiana Post Number: 172 Registered: May-05 | because xxx's don't get as loud as sx's. |

Post Number: 287 Registered: May-05 | Cody: TRUE Hunter: Cody has a good point... but primarily, the reason is because I only have 900 watts to push the sub with. According to RE Audio, the XXX would be hungry for more, and I would probably start sending clipped signals just from trying to get the sub to perform well. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 2155 Registered: Feb-05 | Get the RE SX 15 and push it with 1000 watts rms and put the sub in a ported box at about 3.5-4.5 cuft. tuned to 30hz and it will be loud, low, clean.. |

Silver Member Username: PhuktupbassheadScottsdale, Arizona United State... Post Number: 303 Registered: May-05 | I know, I know... I hate to bash the SX, but the f,u,c,k,i,n,g thing is optimized for ported, and that's not within my perimeters!!! I have a convertible, and if I want good bass, I have to pay attention to details in order to achieve it. This would be one of those details! Does the soundsplinter get as loud as the SX? |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 1475 Registered: Aug-05 | if you go by the general rule of thumb that anything with a Qts of .5 or higher is ideal for sealed enclosures, then yes, it is ideal for sealed(i also plugged and chugged on www.bcae1.com). the 12" Dual 2 has a Qts of .538 and the Dual 4 12" has a Qts of like .6 something. |
