Fi BTL 12, or 2 RE sx12's

[GiganticPrune 10+ year member]

if you were me, what would you do? i have a 2006 wrx, the trunk is small, and the largest box i can really fit is around 3-3.25ft.

a) 1 12 inch FI BTL, because the reccomended box is 1.75 ft

or

b) 2 re sx12's in their "compact" box size reccomendation with 1.5 cubes per sub at 35hz as opposed to their "optimal" at 2ft per sub at 33 hz

there is no way ill fit a 4ft box, but im just wondering if the sx12's wont sound all that great in the smaller box, but im also wondering if ill lose much spl with the single 12 vs the pair of 12's

sorry to bump in but i have a similar question.i am looking for more output from subs and amp so i want to upgrade.i have a 15" fl btl with and was wondering if 2 re sx 12"s will get louder knowing they handle 1krms a piece.and do they make re sx 10's and whats the rec box size

btl can take 2krms a piece easy.

you can get the SX for about half the price of a btl.

i have 6000 going to my 2 15's sx's.........2 dd z1's strapped at .7 each......

the sx's will have more cone area sound better and get louder than asingle 12 btl. i ve owned both......the sx will get just as low if not lower then the btl....

the 15 vs 2 12's that would be close... the sx's are rated at 1k a peice but they will take more...... they do make sx 10's their website ahs the box recomendations...
