[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8797687, member: 673702"] IMHO, you might want to look elsewhere. Soundqubed's build quality is pretty good, especially for the price point. I'm not saying they sound bad, but Soundqubed's target audience is the "street bass" crowd. Also looking at that sub's specs screams "ported" to me and I assume the enclosure you're looking at is sealed. For sealed enclosures output is determined by the subwoofer's Xmax spec (how far the cone moves before distortion gets too bad). Higher power ratings benefit ported subwoofers that don't have to move as much to create bass. I'd look Image Dynamics ID or IDQ. The ID may be lacking a little on the low end for your listening tastes (it's a low Q woofer that really benefits from being ported). Look at the Dayton Reference line of subs. The SSA Demon could be a good choice and the Incriminator I series or Lethal Injection might be up your alley. I'd give the Alpine Type S subs a look. When researching your subs, keep in mind whether they have vented motor or not. If they have a vented motor, then you need to add another ~1" mounting depth clearance so the vented motor can "breath." If you block the vent the motor will overheat and you'll cook the voice coil. Non-vented motors (ie SSA Demon) can go right up against the enclosure wall. [/QUOTE]
