I have been planning on running 2 re sx 15s in the back of my 08 frontier. I have a neighbor willing to trade me his 2 still in box re sx 18s for my 15s. Today I actually got out in the truck and did some measuring and made some templates to see how big a box I could fit without odd corners and cutouts. i came out with a box running at approx 12.5 cube. Not excluding displacement of ports or subs. How would a re sxx18 sound with only 6cu per woofer?

Planning on running 2 6" aero ports per sub. Got 2 SoundStream dtr-1700s for the subs for now.

Go with the 18s or go with the 15s and why. I dont need to know about other brands or sizes of subs. These are my options and I will be going with one or the other.

On a side note, I would like to pull off a hairtrick one day..

from what I understand the SXX's are just SX's with a slightly larger motor, bit better ventilation, and flat wound coils..

12 cubes is small but i'd do it :)

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

The sx 15s I have are 4 years old....It has taken me that long to actually start to build a system. Working on electrical while Im deciding which subs I am going to use.

Im leaning towards the 18s also....just because damn they look huge! But I will bow down to people who know a little more than me about it. Hell last system I built was in 92 and I had 4 15" orion dvc's in a 92 toyota kingcab with 2 punch 200 dsm running them. Been a long Bass-less life since then.
