Best 12" sealed

[Loaked 10+ year member]

Ok I have a 07 Lexus IS250, the trunk can only fit 1 12" box sealed, around 1.25 cu ft, and still have room for a stroller, groceries, etc. Right now I have a Mmats 1500w @ 2 ohm amp running a rockford P3 12" running the amp at half power (4ohm) and the sub sound great being over powered and everything, but I want to go louder, and run all 1500w to a single 12 in this sealed box.

So, in everyones opinion, whats going to be the loudest sub out there that can actuallty handle 1500w of power that is designed and will work good in a SEALED enclosure?

I thought all the FI subs only worked well ported though?

sealed boxes are **** near useless, you can pretty much always fit a ported box if you do it right.

if u can't fit a ported box for a 12", go with a 10 or even some 8's

Yepppppppp, you have no idea what the hell your talking about. Is evident you perfer ported, but to say sealed is dam near useless is retarded! Least back up your opinion.

Also I would say a Mag, but with that power, would need 2 of them. They say don't go over the RMS with a Mag anymore. They do well on less watts than the RMS actually.

You can find a Critical Mass 5000 UL12 neo and run it 1.2...it likes between 1000-1500rms sealed...some of the best SQ you'll ever get...

Wow, biased opinion. I guess you don't know that some drivers function better in sealed enclosures. I used to think ported was the way to go, till I went sealed and made a PROPER sized enclosure for a good sub and it had me since then. I won't go back to ported, because I don't mind sacrificing a little be of output for a sick amount of low-end.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I used to be all about the ported myself, until I heard a good sealed set up and the low end is pure bliss.

I have heard so many good thing about the Fi Q too, any specifec specs I should order with it? I guess I can just read up about them though, everyone on here seems to be the Fi experts though lol.

You think the ol' Mmats 1500w will push it good enough?

Reading a book on survival of life and death in a situation of life and death wouldn't help him. He's doomed for good.
