2 12" se's vs 1 15" SX ... probably sealed, maybe not ...

[97JeepTJ 10+ year member]

What do you guys think about comparing 2 12" SE's or 1 15" SX ... I think I would make a sealed box for the tighter sound. maybe 1 ft^3 or so for the se's (each) and 2 for the sx? or if i get the sx maybe port it at 3 cubes and tune to 32ish hz. What do you guys think??

be powered off the hifonics 1000bd for sx, 1500bd for se's. Maybe different amp choices.

be in the back of a jeep cherokee (my friends)

What will get louder? Sound better?

Right now i think the sx will be louder if ported but the SE's will take sq.

What do you guys recommend for a 60/40 spl/sq??

i'd take the 2 se. since ur putting it in a sealed box, and i believe that the sx would more like to be ported, id go for the se combo.

id go with the se's also because its more cone area and 500 more watts, and if somehow you could port the se's they'ed really pund with the 1500

i know he wanted the tight sound so i opted for the sealed box insteaqd of ported. however, if i got him the sx i would most likely port it.

Any ideas on how much ft^3 i should put the se's in in a sealed box???

I used to have a pair of 12" SE's that were getting 300w each (they were reaching their full excursion so I felt like there was no need to get more power) but anyways, now I have my eD15A.22 and it's louder than my old SE's. The SE's were sealed, each had about 1.5cu.ft., now my 15" has about 2.5cu.ft, also sealed. So from my own experiences, I say go for the SX15. It seems like this 15 can go much lower than my 12's could.

hmmm, why not get the 2 12"s and port them low around 28 hertz so as to retain some sq?

How about a 15" SX and a 1500bd, it'll take it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It will take it and sound better than 2 SE"s in 1 cu/ft boxes. Aslong as u make the 15" SX box 3.0cu/ft ported too 35 hz. =)
