SX info...

Well I realized im not getting a blazer... But most likely a accord. Soo, I have a Hifonics TX1505 and was thinking of getting a 18 SX. IIRC the SX is teh terrible at getting low. So what do you think would be a good size box/tuning with 1100 RMS.

I think you'd be better off with a 15 IMHO. Not enough space to work with to get an 18 in the proper enclosure.

With a 15, look somewhere between 3-4 cubes tuned in the very low 30's.

18 looks good @ 8.5cF 33Hz with 100"sq. of port.

The 15" with 1,100 watts should work

Too bad you wont get 1100w.

Why do you say its bad at getting low?

it gets low, but dont like the power doin so. u start 2 smell"extra glue" burning. i wouldnt call it a lowbass monster at all. it is also very peaky. i'd give it a shot, u may like it.

I have more than too much room. And I want a 18 w/o question.

No I will. And I read a thread where everyone in it said it couldn't go low to save it's life. No one said otherwise.

Is that specific to this sub or an 18 in general?

18"sx

I'm not doubting your bass box pro abilities... But, Do you personally think 1100RMS to a rated 1000 RMS sub is good in such a overgrown box?

trial & error is the only way to find out.

Not when it comes to $250 subwoofers it isn't. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

wtf...what does the price of a woofer have to do with it, only your time and cost of materials for a box matters
