trying to make up my mind on which sub would be better for me. I have a 99 honda accord sedan and was really wondering which sub would slam harder with the least amount of space to push the sub. Let me kno whats the best size box ported for each brand of sub and HZ.

What amplifier will you be using?

One is an SPL sub and another one is SQL, what are you after, a daily driver? If so go with the XXX.

With that in mind plus the fact you dont want a huge box I say the 15" RE XXX would be the better choice.

thats completly untrue.

the solox can be a great SQ driver in the correct install with the correct power.

however, they also can take GOBS of power for burps and hit really high scores.

i would have to vote soloX in a ported comp box, with a port plug for this one (if you got the room, and correct power)

I think the SoloX could work fine as well.

SoloX a SQ sub? I think that's stretching it a bit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Don't kid yourself, the XXX is pretty big on SPL too, it just happens to sound very good as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

so what should the box be tuned for ported on each speaker, does it depend on the size of the trunk?

this is quite halrious since someone i know just bought a solo x 12 for his car and and i have a xxx15.....for shits and giggles were gonna hook his solo x into my box (bought 6 cubs after displacement tuned to 34Hz).....it'll be powered off a modded mtx 1501d at 1 ohm. subs will get 1800-2000wrms. after we build him a box for his we'll compare in it his car (could and probly will sound very differant in his car (mine 92 maxima him 2000 lincoln LS)....we'll see how this goes....muwahahahah
