1992Chevy K1500 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 If you only run 1 sub, and they're recommeded for 4 cubed ported, then go for it. You just have to remember that a port takes up space and so does the sub.

wL<3bass Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 I'd take 1 ported RE SX 15 over 2 sealed 15" RE SEs....regardless of cone area.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 so your saying 1 ported will be louder than 2 sealed? and also the 4 cubes i figured out for the 15s was a real quick sketchup and it was 4.38 before displacement and the re se's are .17 so i would have 4.04 after displacement sealed 1 ported is the equivalent of 2 sealed (in a certain sense). In some cases (with a properly built enclosure and the right tuning) 1 ported is louder than 2 sealed.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 so 1 15 ported louder than 4 12s sealed? That's hard to say. Depends on RMS power per sub, enclousure size, dimensions, etc. Quote My comp setup (Not bad for what it is): HP Compaq Presario V6120US laptop with: 15.4" widescreen AMD Turion 64 X2 1.6GHz processor 2x1GB stick DDR2 SDRAM (667 Mhz) Seagate Momentus 500GB SATA HDD 128MB shared video memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit 12 cell Lithium Ion battery (actual battery usage time: 6 hours) What it does: On a USB 2.0 Wireless card
Team_DC-Derrick Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 he has 4 cubes to work with, so the 4 12s will have about 1 cube each in the sealed enclosure to be honest, i think the 4 12s will be louder then the 2 15s sealed.. But I also like having more then 2, even tho i only have 2 Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones
