What to pair with DLS A6 - 2 10's or 1 12?

Ehhh you could but dont expect much change at all... Look into those TC sounds subs I mentioned as well...

I like sealed over ported to be honest, it isn't nearly as loud though.

Can you draw up a box for me sealed to go with my IDQ's? I mean if I give the IDQ's 500rms then it should be loud enough? I don't do meets or anything, just recreational listening if you will.

Wouldn't there be a big difference between a sh*tty box for my 12's to a properly designed sealed box?

yes there will be a difference in the boxes.usually a prefab box is under woofer specs.

I can later, it will be much more sq then sql though.

As far as sounding better sure but being louder or to fit your needs not really...

How much quieter would it be?

Compared to a properly built port box quite a bit...

It's not a properly built ported box though That will never be an option as it won't fit. So it's either a proper sealed box or a generic ported box.

That's fine. Do the best you can with sealed and doing the best for SQL as possible. I figure a properly tuned sealed box will be better than a generic ported box. Also it'll sound better and that's what I'm really after.

The dimensions again are:

H - 13"

L - 38"

W - 19"

Width is also depth, not sure which to use. Let me know if this is too small or if you'd need more room and I'll see how far I can go. Thanks btw!

Or one good sub in a properly built ported box...

Hey, I'm the guy with the two TC Sounds LMS-R 12's. They are pretty flexible with box size. They will work well in a 1.5-2.5 cu ft per sub. So depending on space, you could run either one or two of my Brand New LMS-R 12's. These 12's are fantastic subs for SQL. They dive down extremely low. They work great in sealed and ported boxes. If you go ported, they love a low tuning at 30hz and that will give you that awesome SQL that you are after.

If you want to go the route of one LMS-R 12, like I said, you could go ported or sealed. They are rated for 1000wrms and are dual 2 ohm subs. So one LMS-R 12 would give you a final ohm load of 1 Ohm on your amplifier.

I can help you out with your box and if you go ported, I know the owner of TC Sounds and once you get me your internal volume, I can get ahold of him and he can get you your exact dimensions of your port.

I'll sell these BNIB 12's or one 12 for you for a highly discounted price. I was going to get a GMC Yukon, but that idea fell through so I can't run these subs. I am stuck with my truck so I am forced to running 8's once I get these sold.

PM me and we can talk

Hmmm yeah I guess... I hate choices!

Any of the subs in this thread would work well but Im more partial to the TC

I don't have the money for new subs right now. I'd love to get something new but I cant justify it right now. Ill probably just get a sealed box for it.

really wish you had 15'' high.
