RE SX & SI Magnum

[violator5spd 10+ year member]

I've decided I want to get a pair of 12's, either SX's or Magnums. I'd just like a little input from those of you who have heard either of these subs before. I know the SX's are cheaper than the Magnums, but that really doesn't matter. I've got enough room for a pair of sealed 12's, each sub will have around 1^3 foot of airspace. Probably going to be run off a JBL 1200.1, since it will be at 2ohms.

Any input/advice/suggestions about either of these subs would be great. I've pretty much narrowed it down to these 2, so please don't suggest something else //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/waycrazy.gif.f4a380c3f94043939fd369defd9e6be2.gif

cant go wrong with either although 600 watts a peice would more than likely work much better with the magnums, and the SQ should be above the SX as well.

Yea, I realize it doesn't really matter what I choose, they're both great subs. Although I do seem to be leaning towards the Magnums. I've heard great things about both, but for some reason I'd rather have a set of SI's than SX's.

i have not heard either but people compare the Magnum to the XXX and since the XXX is a higher line than the SX, im guessing the Magnum is better, i would choose the Magnum

remember the SX will get louder than the XXX with 1200 watts..

xxx and sx will sound very similar with low power apps. It's not untill you start throwing 1k + watts at either driver that the xxx is going to shine. Just thought you would like to know that.
