Got a guy selling one local bnib. Sensitivity is like 96db and 400watts rms. Wondering if it would drop nice and low in a sealed box.

oh yeah, sub is a 15"

I don't think Cerwin Vega ever made a woofer for a sealed box tho, they all like medium to large ported boxes.

The IT line is a step down from the older Vega series but they're pretty close, a friend of mine had a 12" stealth series in a 1.5 ported box in his celica and it sounded really good, like SQ good.

Not sure if this is entirely true. They used to have an Accurate Image series of subwoofers. Was supposed to be there SQ line I believe around the time the Stroker was released. I think these were probably geared towards sealed enclosures.

i used to have one. i loved the way it sounded in about 112liters tuned to 35hz. but do not use more than 600w on it. i ran 800w on mine and burned the coil. the it line was made for medium sized sealed enclosures or a bit bigger ported enclosures. the accurate image series was cerwin vega`s sq line at the same time as the stroker. and was made for both small sealed and ported enclosures. here is the manual for the entire it series of subwoofers

96db/1w/1m means it's very effecient and will absolutely NOT drop low in a sealed box especially a small one lol. Medium to large ported low if you want lows...
