RF has gone to sh1t. Look a different route. Even the T1 and T2's aren't that great when compared to other subs in their price range (like Eclipse).

Rockford has not been the same since they began a distribution deal with Best-Buy.

the T2s can get plenty loud. my friend has 2 15s and a 30001bd and i cant even sit in the car with them for long periods of time. for the price and such SX would be a better sub to get.

i wanted to compare the t2 to the ti not the sx.

hey jake, are your friend's t2s good for a daily driver or are they just loud as fu.ck with no sq?

He has them ported for mostly SPL but it doesnt have horrible SQ. They sound "thick" and the sq is much worse than my type Xs but its not really bad? haha i dont really know how to explain how they sound. They are loud as fu.ck however.

the only reason i didnt compare it to the Ti is because i havent heard a Ti in awhile so i dont really have a comment on them.

Pelon: what type of enclosure(s) are we talking about? Overall, the Ti is much better for SQ in a sealed enclosure, and louder at the same time. But if going for SPL, the Ti is just a bit louder in a ported enclosure, and a little quicker to respond. Just my .02.

i dont know what to get.

a ti ported 12", a ti sealed 15", or 12" t2 ported.i will give them an all an enclosure around 1.75cu.ft.

i know the tis would sound better but i dont know the difference in spl between the three that i mentioned.

The 12" Ti ported would be loudest if you have the right enclosure. And it wouldn't have quite the SQ as the sealed 15", but it'd be d@mn close...

actually ima use a 1.9cu.ft. enclosure from klausaudio.com. Ported or sealed.

are you sure the 12" ti ported will get the loudest?i thought the t2 would get louder.

wont the 15"ti sealed have less sq and be slower than the 12"ti ported cuz of larger mass?
