I preferred the Q in almost 2cF sealed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'd definatly port a 12" over a 15" sealed.

just my 2-cents

I dont really like all that unnecessary bass...i prefer low and tight with authority...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lmk...will a 12 ported play more tight and get lower than a 15 sealed? and have the ability to get louder? i only have a total of about 3cf including sub and port displacement...

I think I might just save up alil more and get an IDMax and port it. Should that take the cake?

I'd prefer an IDMAX...

But you're awfully confusing...

edit - wow i just noticed they tested the me with 500 watts? does it not like power ported?

The ME could take at LEAST double that power ported or sealed. I've been running a Tantrum 1200.1 to mine for the past 6 months and for the year before that I was running a Hifonics BX1000D to it. The ME is definately comfortable with over 1000 watts and I really have no idea why they tested it with only 500 watts in both the ported AND sealed tests.

That said, the ME isn't all that great ported.

I still don't see how you can beat a sealed 15 for tight lows...

I don't know, could have not liked it mechanically in that enclosure for some reason...I was on the other side of the garage at the time they were burp testing the Me. But I know I was throwing ~800W musically at it during my review, and it didn't show any signs of weakness...

Have you burped the Me at a kilowatt or more?

With a sealed 18"! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I dunno... in the test session's driver notes for the ME, it says "Woofer was limited to 1700 watts during SPL burp testing due to it nearing the thermal limit."

I think that the ME reaches its thermal limits before its mechanical and its probably very hard to make this woofer bottom out.

30 hz sine wave on the Tantrum FTW

would u say an ME in 3cf sealed can handle a zx1000.1 all day?? Would an IDMax in 2.5cf sound louder and get just as low ported, 34hz?

do the me 15 sealed. if you dont like it, it should be easy to sell and thry the Q ported. I choose ME sealed, just cuz i LOVED my IDMAX sealed so much.....
