New member Username: Jason_icUsa Post Number: 2 Registered: May-07 | Hey everyone. I had a custom sealed enclosure built to sit behind the third row of seats in my expedition. It is a sealed box built to hold 2 15" subs, offering two 1.75 ft3 divided. The mounting depth is relatively shallow at 7.5" im looking for the best of both worlds in terms of sound quality and loudness. I listen to techno and rap if that helps. budget is not so much a concern, but I do love money. I was looking at a few subs: (all are dual 4 ohm) memphis m1 image dynamics idq re sr's so which do you folks think would suit my needs? maybe another brand? thanks |

RE's website claims the mounting depth of the SE is 7.75 inches, when my enclosure is 7.5 inches. would that still work?? im also going to try to find more info about those mach5. |

I will have my 2 12's sealed installed next week if amps come in. They have GREAT Sq and get loud. Hit me up if interested. Kevin lowhz01@yahoo.com |
