just wondering how the Mag 12 and the Kicker cvx 12 compared in sealed boxes. There really wasn't much info on how the Mag performed sealed so i'm just curious. I know the cvx has more cone area and the Mag has more xmax and was wondering which had the potential to get louder, the more cone area or xmax. Friend is thinking about going kicker and i was telling him that the Mag may have more potential to get louder sealed due the xmax. thanks for any help

How does the CVX have more cone area?

Cone areas the same, mag performed very well seald, but output comes a live ported.... the owner of SI runs his in about 1 cube sealed per IIRC

CVX did so well in a small ported box not sure why you would want to run it sealed. I didnt get a chance to listen to it sealed so i cant comment on that.

the CVX was my favorite driver in the test session

Hope that helps

i believe you are looking for the volume displacement capabilities of each woofer.

SD x XMAX

How small of a box are we talking? 2 cubes or less? I was thinking about snagging a 15" so I am curious, Thanks.

the 12 was in 1.8 cubes and did very well

any idea of the tuning?

between 32-34 hz cant remember exactly

alright, thanks. What kind of power would you recommend? Is it pretty underrated?

(sorry for thread jacking, i figured my questions may help the thread starter come to a better conclusion as well)

2.2 cubes before disp of port and moofa should be close to 1.8-1.9

Notes:

* Build Quality is Excellent

* SPL Box testing was stopped @ 1000 watts RMS, due to woofer approaching mechanical limits

* Woofer should not be ran with power levels over RMS spec, with musical content

ty sir, great showing.

you're correct? so what then tells you the cone area?
