not sure anymore

I was planning on getting a 12" xxx but I only have a little over 2 cubes of space. Are there any other subs that will give me comparable sql to the xxx that requires around 2 cubes? does a 10" xxx require less space? I was looking into that id max or a sound splitter rl-p any suggestions?

thanks

According to the RE site, a 12" XXX only needs 2.1ft^3 ported and 0.8ft^3 sealed.

Many people have questioned RE's sealed volume requirements, and remember, that's 2.1ft^3 before displacement, and he only has a little over 2ft^3 total.

EDIT: In response to your question, yes, the 10 will require less space and would probably work.

Yep, and a 10" would need even less space.

Good point. I would think that the XXX would do just fine in a little less than 2ft^3 sealed though.

i am going to be fiberglassing a box for my the sub. i want to port it but it is fiberglass. the dimensions of the space where the box is going are: 50" long, bottom is 9" deep, top is 6" deep and 16" tall. this area is going to be fiberglassed but i want spl, any suggestions?

sounds like a truck cockeyed..... i just ran your numbers and if you use 3/4" you will have 2.74707 feet cubed... i doubt that would be enough to fit a port and driver displacement but that would probably be enough for the 10..

YUP! it's a truck. So I should go with a 10" RE XXX? I just got quoted for a 12" XXX, $299 shipped???

ID MAX, IMO, is a bette choice than the XXX.

Why does everything think that's the only thing that matters??!?
