Recommend a subwoofer for a sealed box

[jstbass 10+ year member]

Here is the situation, I was given a fiberglass box behind the center console of my Toyota Tundra. I calculated that its roughly 1.5 cubic ft. I was hoping someone could recommend a subwoofer that would sound good in a sealed box. I am looking for a musical sub that can hit more than one note. The price range would be up too 300. Brand does not matter, I do not have any experience with newer brands such as fi audio, RD, DC, or AQ and would love to try one. Thanks for any input.

BTW, I will be powering it with an Alpine PDX 1000.1. Thanks again.

Is the box for a 10 or 12? Im guessing 12"?

I agree with Fi Q.

Shiva-X

AE AV12X

both cheaper than the fi q

Sorry I forgot to mention the size, 12". The depth is roughly 9"-10" so no more than that. Thanks for the input so far.

I thought about the shiva too, I am not sure if the x is the new model.

I would get the Fi Q as well.

with winisd there is very little difference between fi q, shiva, ae av. on the spl side it shows the fi q being maybe 1-2 dbs lower, but no biggie.

the only other thing i noticed was the shiva liked a 1.4 box for best sq, where like the q want .3

how would u know which to go with besides price?

I would factor in the weight and surround size. The subwoofer would be firing down and the legs that hold it up allow for no more than 3"-4" between the floor and box.

Cruzer, which subwoofer has a flat curve on winisd?

In a sealed alignment, all of them should be fairly close.

Polks sound very good sealed

An IDMAX would sound nice in 1.5 sealed. I've had one in that space before and it was pretty loud for a single sealed 12 and it sounded amazing
