[QUOTE="SoundSplinter, post: 985381, member: 556387"] Yea the spec's on our woofers don't always model very pretty. Don't know what to tell you other than the T/S parameters are certainly not the end-all in how a woofer will perform. Indeed, they can be quite useful as a guide to help you decide which way to lean when designing your enclosure, but honestly many of the drivers that I carry tend to model strangely, even though they sound great when all things are considered once installed. An RL-p12 in 1.15 - 1.35 cu ft net volume sealed, fed with 500-800 watts, will sound great regardless of what computer modeling may be showing you. Ported I would suggest 1.5 - 2.0 cu ft net, tuned to 34 Hz for in-car (or 24 Hz for in-home, with 2.0 - 2.4 cu ft net volume), fed with similar power.
