[QUOTE="lmnop, post: 577218, member: 556716"] Well now that I've thought about it and actually looked at the prices of the local shops I realize I could go with RE and still spend about the same amount. As I said this will be my first subwoofer setup. Im looking for excellent sound quality but also the ability to get loud enough to beat all the other kids with their best buy bought sub and box combos. I'm considering going with either - One 12" SE or One 12" SX Here are my questions. 1)I was also thinking about going with the 15" for both models. Would the size difference be that noticable audibly? 2)How much of a difference and what is the difference between the SE and SX models. From what I've read the SX is more SPL and the SE is more SQ. Will the SX be too loud and not have enough SQ? Will the SE be too quiet? I still want to be able to listen to my music at a normal level without having the sub overpowering my stock speakers. 3)What type of box should I put both in? If I choose sealed for both will I be significantly hindering their loudness? If I go ported will the sound quality significantly drop? 4) Could I get just a single 12" either SE or SX in a ported box and still be able to get louder than people with two 12's in their prefab boxes. For example could a single 12" SE or SX in a ported box get louder than two Pioneer Premiers in a prefab sealed box with a cheap sony 1200w amp? Any input would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
