Not even gonna attempt to answer the other. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Both excellent DD subs imo.

how much power can an avalanche take safely to reach xmax?

Would 800-900 watts get it going?

I just played my with 12 in my bros car for a few hours...never got the chance to even break it in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. In 2 cubes @29hz w/ the gain set at 900 watts...it got pretty dam loud(especially w/ 30-40hz test tones I threw at it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif. Car was a 2k pathfinder. I would imagine in the right box with the proper install, the 15 would get pretty dam loud even if in a trunk.

Are they recommended for sealed or ported use?

? never had a chance to use mine sealed...ended up trading it off because I could never find a second one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. There is a review on here with avalanche sealed vs. ported. That particular person said he liked it sealed and stayed sealed. In the ported box I had it in, it was awesome.

Try both and see which you prefer?
