[QUOTE="Forrest Gump, post: 5577854, member: 603089"] Well I bought this sub at the local salvation army for 10 bucks with a sealed box (approx. 1.5 cubes), and it's been sitting around the house for a few months and inally decided to test it out in the X5. It has a 4 ohm voice coil and is rated at 300 wrms. I pulled the sub out of the box to verify it's vc configuration, and decided to invert it, as I love the sound of a big sealed box. I hooked it up to my Diamond D6 1500.1 @ 4 ohms (obviously), being very cautious w/ my gains, as the amp is capable of around 450 watts at 4 ohm. I only listened to a few rap songs over the course of a couple days and I was very impressed with the output of the sub! Granted it does not exhude the labor inducing wrath of my ported 18" DR, but for a 300 watt sub in a SEALED box, it really leaves little to be desired in terms of output and sound quality. Could easily have passed as a 15" on 500 watts. My only gripe is that output seems to roll off steeply below about 30 hz. I believe it will be happy in the trunk of my Civic ported at 32 hz.
