[QUOTE="Kyle_Keating, post: 4706618, member: 582385"] in a sealed box, you'll almost always want to use EQ. the max is a low Q woofer so you DEFIANTLY need eq. I'm guessing.......off the top of my head, at least a 5dB boost at 30Hz..... this is normal. Do you have active EQ set up??? otherwise, put them in a ported box, and use a high pass filter to protect them. If you want a good sounding woofer in a sealed box with NO eq, you need to go with a higher Qts driver... JL audio is popular for making those. Look for Qts's of 0.6 or more. Type-R is not going to change a thing, its Q is also around 0.4 or so...perhaps lower. i'm not sure. [/QUOTE]
