Hmmm. Might have to try that evl6.5 on my 4 wheeler. Downfire on the front rack in my cargo/speaker box. Running 5.25 coax, and would like a little more bass...

How about a 600 watt 6.5?

600 Series

A T-Line for a pair of these can't be too big... can it?.. IDK... sealed is what OP wants... Let's see. Ordered one today! I've got too much power but that's a good thing... A t-Line cannot be THAT hard, can it?..Just figure your quarter wave...LOL... on the way, I'm going to approach this a little differently... maybe a 4 th order... No F-Ing e With a T-Line , lets hear them first sealed at .4 then it will be easy to aeroport at .6,.. 3" port /w/ external port and spacers... Been wanting to try one of these out for awhile. If not, I've got some heavy midbass for the each kick!

That's a DD... Come on dude 13 mm xmax from a 6.5? IDK the price, I'm not a dealer!

DD is the unfair advantage... If it fits your budget, do it! I'd love to have a pair of 9512's on a M4B... If pigs had wings... Oh I forgot, there IS that warthog!

Rock music should be tuned between 60-200hz with strong subsonic filter. On my low tuned Sundown, rockmusic sounds ******, even Korn, which is mixed with rap, sounds ****, I have to switch the sub off.

that's the problem of a very small enclosure. I'd bet on a bigger woofer but narrow, with very little excursion. and try to port the enclosure, only to hear how it sounds.

Absolutely not. 60-200 is mostly mid bass. Sounds like you have a horrible designed enclosures or very weak front drivers.

Or let me guess, you have a mega roll surround? They do **** at upper bass. That's your fault for not reading up on it if that's the case.

A good low tuned box will play anything. It will excel at everything. But to do that some output has to be sacrificed. You can't have it all.

that CDT QES 8 is made to run in .25 cu.ft. sealed ....It would be a great choice. I an building a custom center console using two of them in my front stage.

Yea, you have something funky going on there ..... Ive got 6 15" FU Audio 1250 series subs on a 15K, and it sounds awesome on rock music. The kick drum in Money for Nothing, and Turn up the radio is so tight and hard, it hurts ... But then, I tune my system to those songs and ZZ top, MJ, ect ... what it does on Rap, and Bass Music is just what it happens to do ....

yes, you're right, I have a Sundown speaker, and it does **** at upper bass. but I barely listen to rock music so I'm fine. I love my sundown. It does exactly what I need. I had In the same enclosure a regular speaker, with only 110RMS and It had a muuch better sound for upper bass, but no way to get it lower than 60hz. now I can't get past 60hz hahahahaha
