maybe some w6s....I know they dont mind a sealed box and sound good in them, you just may need a little bt more power for them

sorry, loudest subs. They are going behind the back seat of a dodge megacab.

You're going to need to provide a lot more information...

What impedance does your amp make the most power at? I'm not familiar with it.

L7s if you actually look at the specs of the subwoofer are made to be put in a sealed enclosure, they are just more used in ported bc they work there as well.

So I would say the L7s for that budget, maybe get 1 12 or 15 and add more power

1000w x 1 @ 1ohm 76% eff @ 1ohm. I dont know if thats what you need. I listen to all types of music. also i have plenty of space so thats not really a concern. right now i have tow memphis m3's in a box with 1.1 cu ft. sealed.

oh yeah forgot to mention the m3's sound like dog crap.

Eclipse SW8200 is where I would look. They will get loud, low, and sound great. They have 38mm of xmax and do really well in sealed enclosures so they will be very loud. I would go slightly larger though and give each sub around 2 cubes sealed.

M3s=Loud, but IMHO dont sound that good as stated......It oculd have been my enclosure tho bc I didnt test around with different enclosures

thanks for the info, might go with the eclipse. the first box i built for the m3's has 1.75 cu ft per sub. Any idea why the m3's sound so terrible. 1st experience with memphis, and dissapointed. anybody know how the type r's sound in a sealed box.
