[QUOTE="s.abushaikha, post: 8887253, member: 691678"] I currently have 2 Skar SDR 10” powered on 1200watts in their ported box (loaded enclosure package). I’ve been pretty happy with the way they sound, how loud they get and how low they go. They literally flex my roof. However after about a year, recently I’ve been looking into upgrading to a setup that is higher quality. I know Skar is a budget brand and the SDR’s are the lowest grade, originally I wanted to move to the SVR series however I’m now considering more things. I have a lot of questions that would help me consider what to focus on next. I know I want dual 12”s, I want to be able to go as low as possible, be considerate of trunk space (2013 Lexus GS - Mid size trunk), be accurate and have good sound quality while being able to show off when I want. I know that’s a lot to ask for but I feel it’s possible. I’d still like to remain on a budget as well. The biggest issue besides the “budget” is I’ve only ever heard my current subs, I’ve never sat in anyone else’s car with any other type of subs. I’m now exploring the difference between SQ and SPL subs, realizing that an SQ sub might be the way for me. I mainly spend most of my listening to Rap/Hip-Hop while occasionally switching it up. Quality would be most important to me due to the fact I daily drive the vehicle, but I don’t want to be disappointed when I turn the bass up. Here’s my main questions. Do sealed enclosures play lower or do ported enclosures play lower? I know sealed enclosures are more punchy, but can they be boomy? Most people recommend Ported enclosures for Rap/Hip-Hop, however despite the genre of music, if a sealed enclosure has much more benefits of being accurate and if it’s true they play lower, wouldn’t they be the better choice if loudness is not priority? How big of a difference is the volume of the bass? How much more power would be needed? What are good SQ “(SQL)” subs on a budget? I wanted to look into Rockford Fosgate, I know it would be higher quality than the Skars but I’m afraid of spending more money and just being disappointed if the difference is not much. I’ll most likely think of more questions as responses come in, any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
