I used to run SX 15"s at 28hz.. never complained about the lows.. they got down

I'd retune.. keep in mind your only running 1 12" so you can only expect so much

What kind of power are you running? box specs? port placement? how many square inches of port?

I'm w/ Kevin, I also ran an SX15 a few years ago. Had it in an ext silverado in 5cuft tuned to 29hz. On a JBL BP1200.1, that setup did 142's at 32hz.

SX's can get low and loud...mean daily subs.

Try that SX12 in 2.5cuft tuned to 30hz or so. Try the 15" in 4.5 at 30hz.

oddly enough i ran my SXs in a ext cab Silverado as well :-) .. on two cerwin vega exl1000ds

beating on it all day in the heat it burped a 146.3 @ 38hz .. not crazy loud but it sure was run shaking nearby buildings/windows and the occasional small child or elderly

i like the way the 15 sounds its just that the 15 made the 12 sound weak.

the 12 is on 1500 watts 1.8 cu ft tuned to 36hz 18sq inches of port sub forward (only way it can face) port side

not enough port area for that size box.. rebuild with 2cubes after displacement .. 32 square inches of port tuned to 30hz and youll be happy :-) .. hopefully

if not add a second :-)

btw, why not just run the 15" in there? bucket seats and a center console with it downfiring FTW :-)

the center isnt big enough for a 15
i was thinking of going to 2 se's if i go with 2 because id have to spend a lot for electrical upgrades if I got with many more watts

i ran the two SXs on two 35.1s .. stock electrical and just two yellowtops

the jetta had a 90amp alt as well

two SEs will pound if you got enough volume to run two ported, great subs
