ok still wondering on a pair of subs ,,lol

What kind of are do you have to work with? What is your max height, width, and depth?

If you want to go ported this would help out a ton as we could figure out the air space limitations.

if u want a sub for sealed box i would go with two mach 5 ixl. yes site is down, but try pming mrogowski or wait. they use the xbl2 motor which will sound GREAT with good output.

if u go ported, do u want loud while sounding decent, or sound great and get pretty loud?

loud while sounding ok

sundown sa-12s (rated for 600 rms but will handle 800 np)

or fi ssd 12s (they must be in process changing to neo magnets to make them lighter, but its rated for 800 rms handles more np)

sound great while getting pretty loud (cheaper option as well, if u can fit 15s they are even cheaper than the above 12s)

You can use the IXL for either application since they come in ported and sealed versions. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

not sure how much they are, if they are $200 or less, then i would go with these just pick the right version for the box type u go with. u wont be disappointed

thats a really good deal considering it will sound way better than subs recommended here

I did not check the ts specs but I thought the skar liked larger enclosures. I could be wrong, and I'm to lazy to plot them out right now.

Yea they do, they want 1.75 cubes after displacement for each driver
