My 12'' hdc3 sealed? or go with 2 10's or 2 12's sealed?

My current setup is what im using in my sig.. The box sits right behind me on the backseat of my truck and i can no longer take not being able to recline my seat as far as i want. My question is do i put my current sub in a slanted sealed box or buy 2 10's or 2 12's that work well in a sealed enclosure and go that route? BTW im looking at older model alpine type r's, the ones like this.

Well what are you looking for out of your subs? I dont recommend putting that AQ in a sealed enclosure

Im looking for a more "musical" setup and also one that takes up less space mainly in depth. Say i put my 12'' hdc3 in 1.0-1.5 cf sealed, would 2 12'' type r's be "louder" in 2.0cf sealed? I dont know why exactly but i want the older style type r's.. always loved the way they sound.

Well yes they will be louder. You have more power and double the cone area with the alpines.

Okay. I mean i know my sub ported would more then likely be more powerful then both of them, but i know the alpines do welll sealed. My AQ i dont know..

One other sub i wouldnt mind looking into would be a set of 10 or 12" IDMAX's.. how do they do sealed?

Yes, but they are a fairly deep woofer.

Yes, but they are a fairly deep woofer.

If your really worried about space then look for some killer shallow mounts

What kind of truck and what kind of available space do you have?
