What are some of the better subs for a sealed application?

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

Reading on here I get a picture that one sub that works well sealed may not do so hot ported and vice-versa.

Only two subs I have owned I ran them sealed.... Image Dynamics and RE.

Who makes like the top three?

I see Type R's mentioned but more for ported applications. I need two 10's for a sealed box so a nice list should narrow it down.

Infinity Kappa Perfects- decent thump, good sq.

Kicker Solo Baric L7's (I hear the 10's sound nice sealed...)

JL 10W3's- pretty much the same as the Infinity's in my book.

I have l7 12's sealed and think they sound like poo.

they catch a bad sq rap, but they can be made to sound ok. i wouldnt exactly call them one of the better subs for sealed, because these subs shine in ported boxes.

I have never heard l7's sound good in sealed box but for some reason there are alot of people that say they sound good. I guess my bass type is different, I dont know. I would look into the

jlaudio 12w6v2

idmax12v3

Alpine x

type r's sound good to me in my sealed application.

IMO they just arent a very musical sub.. some notes have too much output and others have almost none (playing 20-80hz). Just not a good smooth responce and im just not impressed...but they were free //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif Ive been saving for some RL-p's hopefully by begining of Jan!

I will be needing two if someone can help me figure out the volume per side of my box: http://www.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=127975

and what it would take to seal it up. I liked the ID's and RE's. Can't really tell a difference in them. Anyone agree?

The new SI Mags are great sealed. And for that matter any of the previous models as well.

a koda if you can find them. the infinity's sound very nice

I agree wiht the L7's, but I find it goes for any kicker subs I have ever heard or had. You can try to make them sound good but they still sound like poo, they get **** loud and love doing it but they definatly don't sound good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
