No problem. If you're not sure about the DC sub I recommended, the SE is a pretty good alternative. I had 4 of them not long ago.
The DC is nice, though. And it's got a "nice little pricetag" too...

Haha, true. Which one is going to give me the best SQ while still maintaining good SPL in a small, sealed enclosure though?

he is going to be running 2 amps on a stock 105 amp alt

nice ride, man...

the se is better suited for small sealed dc will give you a little more spl but def likes ported better

You're still talking like 700 - 800 watts total, man. The big 3 and a half decent battery should be all the electrical he'll need...

The lvl 3 is just fine in sealed enclosures. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Are we really going to do this again, man?

The SE is a nice sub. I'm not going to say it isn't. The DC is also nice for this application, though. It will sound fine in a sealed enclosure on it's rated power. Don't believe me? Ask some people that're familiar with the driver...

Cadence A5+HC 600 Watt Competition Mono Block Amplifier - eBay (item 290368818833 end time Feb-08-10 09:47:34 PST)

get this amp if you read it is actually 95 percent efficient, the a7 which is its older brother might be the second best amp i have ever owned 1400rms at 80 amp draw

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

either way man i would go with the dc or re both great subs

nice ride, man...

Thanks.

What about something along this line, only 300 rms...

SR12 - RE Audio 12" SR Series Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer

 

[mclerico83 5,000+ posts]

you can get the se cheaper and is a much better sub then the sr and that cadence amp wont take any power at 95 percent efficient at 600watts

I think you were on the right track to begin with, man. An SE or Lvl 3 on rated power with your Polk comps should sound pretty nice...
