RE SE15 or Dayton HO15?

Why tuned to 23hz? Go with something more reasonable like 30-33, your box size will decrease as well, since you will not need as long of a port to get your desired tuning frequency.

The frequency response curve gets all contorted when I move away from 22-23Hz... I'm not sure if it would be reflected in the real world in a car, but just for example, with a 3-4ft^3 box @ 30Hz, the Titanic gets a 5dB peak at 40Hz above the rest of the curve. Going larger increases that peak and going smaller just pushes the peak higher in frequency... again, it's WinISD so I don't know if it's reflected in the real world, but it sure does seem awkward.

Here's the Titanic in a 4ft^3 box @ 30Hz in white vs. the Titanic in a 4.5ft^3 box @ 22Hz.

I'm tempted to try the Titanic, but I don't want to go for it and be disappointed with the transition from an HO. I figure a 15" HO will be just as accurate and musical as my 10, just lower and louder...more powerful //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'm sure being another awesome Dayton driver, the Titanic would be sweet, but is it worth the risk?

I don't know... I'm all up in the air lol
