[QUOTE="SimulatedZero, post: 8447043, member: 643373"] Okay, so I talked to my computer / audio engineer buddy and got a chance to draw up a couple of response graphs in WinISD. I really liked the response curve I got out of two Sundown E12's in a 3.2 ft^3 box at 32hz. After the port the box would be 3.5 which is right at my limit. I liked it a lot more than the curve I was seeing with a single E15 in a similar box and it keeps in my budget of the mid to high 200's for subs alone. How's the sound quality with Sundown's stuff? I've read one guy that said the SD series was very "articulate" in a 1 ft^3 sealed box and others that call them one note wonders. I like very even playing systems, which to me has a lot to do with the box design. I'm coming from a Polk MM or JL W3 / W6 for my reference to SQ systems. Both of those sound incredibly clean done right. Alternate sub choices for me are Dayton HO's (maybe) or Image Dynamics IDQ 12's v4. Where do these Sundown's sit in that line? As a side note, my buddy was telling me that it might be worth designing my box to be built around my wheel well inside the back with the subs down firing and a side firing port to help economize space. Thoughts? I've never down down firing in a vehicle before. [/QUOTE]
