[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8217228, member: 560148"] If your staying with a small sealed box you'll gain very little by switching subs in terms of volume, almost anything will be within a db or so and you'll barely hear the difference. Sounds like you want more bass than 1 12 under a seat will do for you, which if your used to 2 15's, that makes sense. I'd either be looking into a way to do a new box, or find a a very abuse tolerant sub that can handle you overpowering or clipping your amp even to help get the volume you want because if you want louder in that box then you want a sub that can handle the full 800 watts that amp can put out cleanly. The SD-2 linked above will be as loud as the sub you just had was, at the volume knob at the same point, great news is it probably won't break and you can probably set your gains for 500-800 watts RMS and be ok.
