Very good subs. Depends what kind of power you have. But you should be fine with SX's

You have options in design. Try decreasing the actual size and compensate will poly.

If this is your first system, you will not need 2 18's. I suggest 1 15, or 2 12's. If you have never heard sx's, you have no idea how loud they get.

its not my first system, although it is my first RE system, i used to have 2 12" L7s. infinity reference, and now i have some P.O.S. volfenhags as of a lack of funds lol. but i have some kids wanting to buy the 15" volfenhags for 500 in a sealed box so more power to them, thats why im getting the SX's. ill probabally go with 2 15s untill i get my parents durango then ill just take the back apart to fit the bigger boxes. any how do i do poly in a ported? wont it blow out?

Tack it down. I've used carpet padding and stapled it b4 with good results. If you use poly then tack the corners and keep it away from the ports.



You're getting $500 for the Volfs? You should feel guilty lol.

Ditch the cap. Alt, bat, big three almost a requirement. No substitute for ample charging.
