2 RE Audio SE 12d4 or 2 Rockford Fosgate T1 12d4?

I'm running a Hifonics Brutus BXi1208d amp at 1200rms@1ohm.

I'm under the impression both of these subs hit pretty deep, do either of them sacrifice anything in 50hz/60hz range for this?

I'm using a pretty large sealed enclosure for two twelves and not spending the money for a ported (it won't fit anyway)

RE, most def

man this is a tough tough call. I've owned RE SE's twice and they are great subs. I've heard many installs with t1's and they are very underrated woofers (in terms of performance). I would say do the RF since you're going sealed, but either would be great.

RE's will be cheaper, and sound very good in sealed. I just did a 12" SE in this guys suburban with a 600 pheonix gold amp. Very nice!

Re SE's for sure. My friend just got two, and has them off an Hifonics 1606, and they get very loud and sound great on music.

Goin' With the RE SE's.... hey how will my sealed enclosure being larger than the optimal specifications for the RE SE 12d4 affect the sound? would it just make it deeper than it should be? Can this lower power handling/cause clipping?

Just build a new enclosure. sealed doesn't need much materials or work. don't cheat yourself performance!
