Sub Suggestions for 2 15's Sealed

[walkychalky 10+ year member]

As of Now i have 2 RE SX 15's in 8 Cubes tuned to 35 Hz. However, because the box for them takes up pretty much my whole trunk area i had no choice but to mount the amps on the box and the vibration keeps killing them. So, i've decided to go sealed to conserve space as well as get a bit more SQ while still getting pretty loud. I know SX's are not designed to do well in sealed enclosures so i would like some suggestions for some subs that will perform well sealed. My budget is about $600 for both subs, however the cheaper the better. I do not want to completely sacrifice quality for price tho. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

IDQ's , about $250-300 each. Be perfect, specailly in the SQ part. Throw in about 1.5cft sealed each and they will be happy.

what kind of amp do you have? i've been thinking of doing this same thing (2 15s sealed). 2 IDQ 15s (1000-1500 watts total) $480 shipped from woofersetc.com. 2 FI SSDs (1600-1800 watts total) $409 shipped from FI $449 with the flatwind coil on both subs, 2 FI Qs (2200 watts total) $560 shipped from FI. There's other stuff out there too. Galacticmonkey is selling dual 4 ohm 15 inch treo SSIs on here for like $220 each, so thats $440 shipped for two, and they can take like 800 watts each.

i have a hifonics xx hercules so id have 2000 watts available to throw at em....but if that kinda power wasnt necessary id probably downgrade the amp...so far the Fi Q's are looking like a nice option tho.....unless the IDQ's would get just as loud at half the power...then i'd probably go that route

sealing the Qs might be a waste. they seem to prefer ported. The IDQ are the ultimate in SQ subs. They won't get nearly as loud as 2 15 inch Qs but will sound amazing. I say go with the SSDs and tell me how they are //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Have u had any experience with the Fi Q's sealed? I figure the IDQ's will have better SQ but i'm not going for SQ completely. I still want it to be loud, but able to hit the real low notes as well. That and space conservation are the main reasons i wanna go sealed. If you have ran or heard the Q's sealed please elaborate on why you think it would be a waste. Also, if anyone else has ran or heard them sealed your input would be appreciated. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
