Eskii Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 what power do you have x2, sealed needs more bang bang from the amp to go boom boom 2000W for 2 sealed Q's.... Anyone second that? Previous: 1988 Nissan Patrol Rockford T800.4 Rockford T1 15 (sealed) Rockford 6.5 Components Current: 1997 Jeep Wrangler Build goals... 1x RF P300.2 4x Hertz HCX165's Built Completes Alpine 9886 Headunit RF P300.2 RF P500-1bd 2x RF P2-D2 8" Subs, 1.3 cubes @39.5Hz 4x Hertz HCX130's Current comment... Satisfied for the moment, focusing on performance upgrades
All Night Long Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 I wouldn't even try to do 2 15's in that space sealed or not. You could just build a new box and do 2 12's ported and be much happier. Like what was said before you are going to need some decent power since sealed boxes aren't as efficient as ported. You could do just about any decent 12 on the market in 1.5-2.0 cubes ported and have them louder than 2 15's in the same air space sealed. I'm not trying to change your mind, just giving you another option to think about.

All Night Long Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 By efficient I mean that you need less power to make them louder than a sealed box. With that size box and a 15" woofer you would need a decent amount of power to make it play loud, but if you had the same sub in a larger ported box the sub would get louder with less power.
