10" or12 "in sealed that goes LOW??

[headtrnr 10+ year member]

i want a small sealed 10" or 12" sub that can go low(rap music). I know it will go low in a ported but i don't want that much room taken up in the trunk. I will be running 600+Rms @ 2ohms to it.

I have a 12" IDMAX that gets VERY low in a sealed box. I have more watts going to it though.

Parameters you want to look at:
Low Fs (

High Xmax (>15 mm one-way)

High Sd (Go for a 12")

High power handling (500+ RMS)

0.707 Qtc enclosure in the 1 ft^3 to 2 ft^3 range

How do you determine the qtc of an enclosure?

PS;

Dear n00b

You probably don't really want a sub that goes 'Low.' You want a regular old sub in a 35Hz box.

For an IDMax? About 1.1-1.5cuft sealed.

And, for rap, you don't really need a sub that "goes low". Rap honestly doesn't have bass that goes very low. Most of it's in the 40-60hz range, which isn't low at all. A few songs will dip into the mid 30's...which isn't really that low either.

yea the "low" songs all thump in the 30s...

i think people confuse LFE too often with simple output at LFs...... sealed extends farther down the spectrum but output diminishes quickly depending on the sub...

All this guy needs are some high excursion, small box woofers...

IDMax, OZ Audio Matrix Elite, SS RL-P, Ascendant Audio Avalanche, W7, W6v2, etc.
