Loudest Sealed In 1.2ft^3 Sealed

Like the title says I only have a little over 1ft^3 to work with in a standard cab pickup. I tried making the 10'' BL work but it didn't like the 3'' aeroport, so now I've decided to go back to sealed. I'm either going to be getting (2) 10'' Icons, the new Mag, 12'' Icon, 12'' Brahma if I can still find one, or whatever you guys suggest. I have a JL 1000/1 for power. I'm not a sq nut so pretty much any sealed setup will sound fine by me. I'm looking more for output....and I know there isn't a ton of output sealed, but please chime in with your guys' experiences and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Also, don't be a ***** and tell me to use the search button. I've read up on all these woofers over on SSA a while ago so I know what I'm getting myself into. I'm just more looking for your guys' experiences with good output sealed.

 
12" RE SE would do the job in 1 cube sealed

just have to be careful with the volume knob

could also do a 10" RE SE in 1 cube ported (if you have enough room)

thats all i can think of off the top of my head

search!
Just kidding mang :p. You already know my opinion

I think I'm going to stay away from the SE's. My buddy has them and even though I can get two of them for dirt cheap from him, I kind of want something different. As for the ported 10'', I only have enough room to use a 3'' aero and I learned the hard way after 3 different boxes and 2 different 3'' aeros that high powered 10's need more port area. Thanks though.

 
I'd LOVE an IDMAX but the mounting depth is a little too large for my application. What size jordans and which number are they?

Np good luck

 
Sorry I wish I could take those off your hands but all the extra money I have is going towards a new sub. Good luck though.

 
Everyone is hyping up the new Mag so bad. How do you guys think it will compare to (2) 10'' Icons off 500watts each? I know its kind of a newb type question but I feel like the Icons will handle the power better and get louder. The new mag seems like a dainty sub that you don't want to push too hard to me.....altough I kind of want to try it out.

 
For a sealed system, linear displacement is key (xmax). And that's about the right size for alot of 12's sealed. Figure out your mounting depth, if that apparently is an obstacle, and make a list of possibilities from there. Amplifier choice should help weed out some choices as well.

If that doesn't work, use the search button.

 
A little more info might help: I'm looking for a SEALED setup consisting of (1) 12'' or (2) 10'' to go behind the seat of my ford ranger. Max dimensions are 25'' wide x 20'' tall x 10'' bd x 5'' td. I'll say 7'' is probably the deepest I can go. Box will be stuffed with polyfill as well. I have a JL 1000/1 so 1000 watts @ 1.5-4ohms.
