I Made My Mind, But Have One More Question About Hifonics and Re Audio. HELP!!!

ported generaly is louder. - but can be more of a headake to build properly to suit your subs perfect enclosure design and tuning.

sealed box is eazy to build. is less loud bass, but generaly is more musicly accurate.

with 2 subs - sealed will still be plenty loud. just make shure that all the seams of the box are caulked, to prevent air leaks, - sealed boxes that leak sound terrible.

I have re sx sub.

running off of hifonics bxi 1206d.

that amp is giving me a solid 1K rms watts.

I have had to upgrade electrical wires for it tho, as I also run 4 channel amp active.

my whole system is pulling 1800 watts now.

and I had severe voltage drops above 75% volume level.

the sub will take everything my amp has to throw at it and more.

im a little sad that I dont have more power to give the sub actually.

I know it will take 1500w rms power all day long.

and im only feeding sub 1K watts. - so i will eventually get bigger amp for it.

having more power than nessary is ok - as you can keep the gains turned down on amp.

but not having enough power - leaves disapointment.

I am telling you the 1608 will be fine with the SE's.

If you are really worried about not having enough output, then just get the bigger amp, but if money is a concern, then you will be fine with the 1608.
