Ok guys...I really like what I have heard about the 12" RE SX...do you think one of them would in a ported box would be loud?
What are some other single sub setups that take around 600 RMS that really bang??
I have a 600 watt Infinity Reference 1600a Class D...So what would be the loudest sub that still sounds decent>>>>>>>???

RE SXs want a little more power than 600rms IMO. They do good off 1000-1500rms.

For 600watts id look at AQ 2.5s, Treo TSx, Alpine R... just to name a few.

Well, what about my infinity amp? Will it pust that ok? It says that it is 894 max, which is prolly at 1 ohm..its a class d, the model number is 1600a reference...its also 600 at 2 ohms....I had 1 type r for my first system and it didnt hit very hard and it was in a 95 civic....

If you wanna get a new amp and a SX go for it. I was just saying that an SX with your amp probably isnt your best bet.

You can P/M me if your interested in buying a new amp that does in the SX power range...i have a few for sale at good prices.

W3s should be a little louder. Its not going to be a huge difference.

Honestly man.... with 2 12s sealed and the same power they will all sound about the same as far as SPL. Some might be 1 or 2dB higher but you really wont notice that much. Sq however can be a night and day difference.

thats cool man, thanks for the input...I don't know what I'll get next...I have the amp, but I guess I'm kinda limited with my options for two subs that are going to be better than my infinities...peace

I guess ported box's make a huge difference huh? I always heard they give out sloppier bass...but I guess not

Yeah ported boxes are the way to go unless you want extremely punchy bass, thats when sealed does its job.

I looked at your profile because i was amazed you had 77 posts and registered this month...haha. I noticed you have a 13.5W7...keep it.

W7>2W3s

its not even close.

Depends on your car...

I only know about SUVs really and they usually are the loudest with subs up and a slot port back or to the side. Just try both and see.
