Well, I have a question for myself, and a question for a friend as well.
I'm looking for a subwoofer that performs well in SQ, but still allows me to get loud every now and then. I don't want to spend a huge amount of money, but if the difference isn't too much then I suppose that's fine. Also, wondering if I should go sealed or ported? I know that sealed is able to give you quicker, punchier bass, but I have also been told that this is possible also with a long port or transmission line. Please shed a little light on this for me. The subwoofers I have been looking at are as follows. I chose them because they have comparable surface area and prices, and I have been told they do well in sealed boxes, which is what I assumed I should be going for.

2 RE SEX15's
3 Sundown SD-2 12's
Ok, so question two. A friend of mine currently has two Sundown SA 12's, and he is wondering if he can add to them, another set of 15's, using all 4 subs. I'm not sure whether two different sized subwoofers would cause phase cancellation of any sort. Again, please shed a little light on this for me.
Thank you, everyone.
