Subs that will do well in a sealed enclosure.

[Gatorade]

I'm getting a new sub/subs. I want to do a sealed enclosure. I went with a custom ported box (made by a very experienced builder) last time. It was my first ported box in a long time. It didn't produce a clear bass like I thought it would, though the subs I was running weren't the best either (2 12" xfl's). I want it to bang, but I want clean, smooth, loud, not just loud, loud, if that makes sense. I have $500 for subs. I'm thinking of Brahma, but I'm not versed in subs like you guys, especially the newer models.

It's going in a small SUV. I'm going to be running a Wolfram 3000.1 amp.

XFL’s get loud but aren’t known for SQ so maybe that was it?? How big is the box going to be? I’ve always been a fan of ID Max’s but there’s tons of good choices. If you are able to port, I’d do that (properly)

Asked a very similar question recently might find it of some help

10" subs for small sealed box

So I just picked up a new car (2001 audi a4) and have spent about the last week trying to figure out what I want to do for the stereo. I'm still not sure I'm any closer but do know I need more help then just searching can provide on sub selection. Enclosure type, I do have a pretty large trunk...
