[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8668795, member: 673752"] At first GTX500 Then Club 5501, and then a few times with an Infinity K1000. Ahh, I tried it with the RF Ti1500 once too, ha ha ha. The 500 watt amplifiers were plenty for this subwoofer. In my CX5 I get a little better bass with it against the hatch firing at the driver but 98% of that against the rear seat firing back at the tailgate. I listen to all kinds of music from heavy metal to rap and country. Also like the wife’s R&B at times too. If you want I can model some enclosures for you and if you are good with the tools I can send you cuts sheets for the box you want. If you go ported than get the Parts Express Precision Port, It’s worth it. I’d get the 4” port for that subwoofer and tune to 35 Hz. I still have the SWS 10 in my van in a ported box tuned to 35 Hz and that subwoofer sounds good. I’ve had everything from JL Audio wx through W3 series to MTX, FU Audio, Alpine, Sundown SD3, Sundown SA12, and now AudioFrog GB12. I can model the efficiency compared to something else but honestly with an SWS I wouldn’t weigh in on that too much. Designing and building the right box will make all the difference, then tuning, then box placement. For me I love the deep extension I get from a ported box but sometimes I do like sealed and I guess that is why I keep the SWS12 around because sometimes I feel like running sealed. [/QUOTE]
