Friend needs help - SX vs 3510 from DD

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

think basically he's lookin to find out which one is going to get louder and sound best, overall.

Let me give you a brief overview.

He has a Single cab Chevy, and he had two RF Punch 12's in a sealed box.

He's looking to get at least that output if not a little more, and keep or gain quality out of it.

SX vs 3510, which one?

OR, should he just extend it and get two 10's or 12's sealed? I've heard the SX does incredibly well sealed - opinions?

ALL ADVICE WELCOMED, Cmon folks!

I think that two SX 12's sealed in there would do good, but who else has opinions? Tryin to keep it relatively cheap.

DD3510 should not be included in this. Not to be used sealed, do not know about SX sealed so I cant say

I loovvvve both of those subs. They are basically the same, imo.

Whatever you can get cheaper, which would be SX during the group buy

I personally don't like the SX sealed. I'm not real fond of the sound ported compared to other drivers, but putting that aside, I believe it performs MUCH better ported. It's a hell of a loud driver, more than one is completely unnecessary IMHO.

I've heard an RE SX 12 sealed in 1.25 and was very impressed with its performance. For being "not recommended" for sealed boxes it was very accurate and god plenty loud.

SE makes a hell of alot better sealed woofer than the SX.

Exactly....the SX was not meant to be sealed, you're depriving it of life.

Well then

Two sealed 12" SE's vs a single 12" ported SX?

i dont know who the hell started saying that the sx should not be sealed by the DD is NOT designed to be sealed, they are designed to be ported and this is not preference its the driver.

I said that.

With my experiences with the driver, running it sealed, ported with too small of a box, ported in a properly sized enclosure, at different power levels.....sealed did not sound right. It sounded worse than the sub in a ported enclosure WAY too small for the driver.

Just my experiences with the driver though.
