[QUOTE="o. l. t., post: 5685794, member: 569202"] Sealed boxes are just as capable of medium power SPL as vented boxes if built properly. Problem is people take the same sub and swap it between prefab boxes and make a judgement. If you really want technical kick bass you need to run a sealed box for the cone control because in your price range you won't be running subs built well enough to have that kind of control in the spiders and voice coil. For increased control, you should look at DVC subs. One thing is for sure, if you are looking for technical music you are already pushing it wanting 12's and just throwing the dream out the window wanting vented 12's. Especially less expensive vented 12's. It's like the perfect storm of "not gonna happen". I recommend you either go cheaper and get these: [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/MB-QUART-DWG-304-CAR-12-SUB-WOOFER-DISCUS-SERIES-NEW_W0QQitemZ130289978101QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Subwoofers_Enclosures?hash=item130289978101&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A200"]http://cgi.ebay.com/MB-QUART-DWG-304-CAR-12-SUB-WOOFER-DISCUS-SERIES-NEW_W0QQitemZ130289978101QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Subwoofers_Enclosures?hash=item130289978101&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A200[/URL] Or put a little money into it and get these: [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/MB-QUART-PWH304-12-DUAL-4OHM-PREMIUM-CAR-SUBWOOFER-NEW_W0QQitemZ110345085901QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Subwoofers_Enclosures?hash=item110345085901&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A200"]http://cgi.ebay.com/MB-QUART-PWH304-12-DUAL-4OHM-PREMIUM-CAR-SUBWOOFER-NEW_W0QQitemZ110345085901QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Subwoofers_Enclosures?hash=item110345085901&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A200[/URL] Whichever you choose, build a box especially for THOSE subs and don't listen to prefab boxes.
