1.1cu ft sub?

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

ok

well basically spl= sound pressure level, or the bass you feel

sq is sound quality, doesn't mean it's not hitting hard but it sounds good and clear and is matched well with your setup, i.e. not overpowering the rest of your stereo

sql is a mix of both, probably not the best of either one but hitting hard and sounding clean

Ok that's what I thought it all meant. I want SQ for now. I've got the old 2dr Tahoe, so with my available cargo space I have the option to go SPL later. For now I'm planning on using the Thunderform and setting it up to sound good enough with my comps.

I had 2 10" OZ MEs in 2.2cf net sealed and they sounded real good.

if money is right, and you won't have to change subs when you get more power

Can you wire either of those subs to run on a 4ohm load?

 

[AllstarE4 10+ year member]

Are the a/d/s subs good? This one is right at 1.10 cu ft.

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

For sq, I would go for the a/d/s, if it is not post dei.

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

btw aq is made by the guy who owns dd dad

so, make your own call

You probably won't tell a difference between the two. Moving to a lower Q box (bigger) will result in slightly more low end due to greater excursion at lower frequencies. It may also reduce power handling some, but the lower Q is typically better for SQ. If it sounds bad you could always just glue some wood panels inside the box to occupy the extra airspace, but I doubt this would be necessary for most subs. You'll be better off by looking for a good quality driver with high xmax and low Fs rather than just trying to find one which has a larger recommended enclosure.

So would xmax=usable throw?

 

[AllstarE4 10+ year member]

Going by what BrianChia said about xmax and Fs, it looks like the JL 10W3V3-4 looks better than the a/d/s a10s.2 or the AudioQue SD210.
