Sealed setup..

[viscid240 10+ year member]

I have a 97 Nissan 240sx. I don't want to sacrifice all of my trunk area (small as it is) so I plan on a sealed setup.

dimensions I came up with are these 2;

14(H) x 14(W) x 14 (D) = 1.3 cu.

14(H) x 14(W) x 20 (D) = 1.9 cu.

Correct my measurements if I am wrong.

I listen mainly to hip hop and some new rap. I am open to a variety of music genres so the more compatibility the better.

The goal is more toward SQ then SPL. I would like good amount of output but not at the sacrifice of SQ.

I would like to run at minimum 750w possibly a kicker 750.1 amp, though I would push more only if it is necessary.

I am looking into:

SI MAG 12" w/ the Sundown SAE-1000D combo.

ID MAX 12" Amp is to be decided, 750.1 maybe.

RE SE 12" Amp is to be decided, 750.1 maybe.

Your opinions are welcomed. I plan on purchasing no later then the end of this month.

Look into Ascendant Audio Havoc and a Sundown 1200d

Only one opinion? wow!

Do my choices look ideal?

A local shop tried pushing me to purchase a memphis PR 12" with a memphis 500w amp. for around 1030 installed. A bit too much I say.

The different sub options you're looking at are all going to be pretty good performers in a sealed box. They should all be able to get pretty loud and have nice extension in the lower octaves. I think it will really come down to what fits your budget the best and which combo you like the best.

You could look at an Fi Q and JL audio subs as well.

save your money and install yourself. Not too tough at all to do an amp and sub

I plan too, I did with my last setup in my old car. That was just a shop trying for me to buy into their sale.

I am looking into the SI Mag, Sundown 1000 combo. still doing some more research.

Thanks fellas.

I plan on taking a listen to the RE SE tomorrow, I luckily found a new dealer located about 10mi. away from me.

How do these sound ported? will I sacrifice SQ by much, Will there be that much difference in output?

Thanks again fellas.

I currently have my 12" Se ported, but I had it sealed before making the switch.

If you have the power I would go sealed....I'm talking 900 or so. If not, ported is the way to go. It slams like a mofo off of the same power ported.....makes me dizzy sometimes.

They both will sound excellent.

Well, if you want SQ the Mag is a very good choice, especially since you only have a limited volume. The new Mags get fairly loud, but they sound amazing. The Mag and SAE-1000D combo is absolutely amazing, it is exactly what I have. If you would prefer to be louder the Fi Q or the AA Havoc will probably be louder, but the SQ will not be as good.

The havoc looks nice, Though I want to stay around 750-1000w.

I do want output, I do know I do not want to sacrifice much SQ.

I say $250 is about right when it comes to price point on a sub for me.
