eh i dunno...i was thinking about sealing them...nice 400 watts to each and have crazy low end with some decent SQ and the possibility of some good output

Good luck on your build Jdawg - keep us posted on the progress...

To the OP: regarding numbers, I believe Viperoni did a 146.x in his Saturn with two sealed MJ's - I *think* the box was ~4.5 cubes total and the power was around 2kw.

If that helps you decide, great.

Best,

Mark

2kw being over the RMS for the pair...correct?

well im really like ADD when it comes to my systems...i like to change it up about every six months...so i think i might go for this...i dont have that kinda power...but maybe an upgrade is next...

but how do you think the SQ is on 2 18mj's sealed compared to a Q ported

Correct.

As for the sound quality, I only know the MJ. Besides, asking me that would be the same as asking Scott at Fi which would be better sounding... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

why not 2 SSD 18s. will be louder than the MJs an still have the "i have 2 18s" thing to say to people.

Its all based on install.
