i vote for the XXX12 PORTED, you can also get some helppul box specs from RE's website.

look at the single SQL box. 2.5 CUFT tuned to 35HZ

Drum and bass, you will want accurate tight hitting bass. So I would recommend the 15" sealed.

How much space do you have to work with?

well it's a accord '92 sedan...not too much 'cause i still want some trunk space left!

i just looked at RE website and i know i could fit the box for the 15 sealed and still be happy with space left. thanks everyone for replying so quickly!

i guess i should ask what should i expect with a 15 sealed and 1500 Watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

i have a xxx 15, IMO its OK sealed but phenominal ported, go with the 12 ported and it'll sound WAY better than a 15 sealed, WWAAYYY better

anybody else want to add to this before i place order?

Sealed systems traditionally have 'better' SQ than vented systems. I dont see why the xxx would be any different.

well considering it's my first time here i wouldn't know. Instead of putting a meaningless answer like that, why don't you tell me a low down of the other

thousand threads you saw.
