Whats up guys... I am really looking to buy something in the next few days here... Getting really anxious to try out something new.. Saved up a little money for a new sub. Will be powered by a MM3000.1.. Would like to use the power at 1ohm...given all the electrical upgrades I have done lately...be nice to use the power available.. I really don't want to spend more than $400 for subs, or sub Most space I have is 7.4 cu. ft before displacement and port area... Just went out and bought 3x 4" aero ports that are 10" long each

I am looking for an SQL setup, want to get something I can TRY SEALED, then if im not happy with the output, I can later go ported....

so with that said, I have been doin a little searching around and have been looking at the 18" RL-p, and the 18" Havoc... RL-p seems to handle a little more power, but I don't think enough to run the amp @1ohm. for the 12's I have been lookin at 2 12" FI Q's, or 2 12" Mags (would have to be dual 4's) I really don't know many other SQL based 18's.. Please throw some out there for me

Again, I want to buy something soon so if you have anything for sale let me know... Don't want anything more than 2 yrs old, nothing used in comps please

1 BTL 18" does not like sealed

Mach 5 15" SPL supposed to sound good and take loads of power they are 2.5K rms and only $340

I don't think those would be great for SQL

Go find an 05 XXX because I am sure those can take around 3k watts

i just really don't wanna spend 300 bucks on something that is 3-4yrs old..to un-reliable...never know how many owners..if they've been in comps, beaten on

don't want a 15"..already have one, plus i've heard that Mach5 is more SPL oriented.

I know the BTL18" wouldnt like sealed....thats why i didnt mention it...don't think i'd find one under 400 anyways.

alright.. its either an 18" FI Q/ BP.... 18" Avalanche (if someone can tell me where i can get one) or an 18" RL-p... unless you guys think the Havoc is a better option.
