What Two 12"s on 3kw @ 1 ohm in a Ported 4 cu. Net Box

[lostdaytomorrow 10+ year member]

I am in the market for some new 12"s that work well in fairly small ported enclosures. The max room I have is 4-4.2 cubes net and tuning will be in the the low 30's.

Price range is below 700 for both 12"s, need to be new.

Thanks for the help.

XCON 12"?

Nightshade 12"?

BTL 12"?

Anyone have any input? I'd like to keep it below 700 for both but if that narrows my options too much, I can do up to a grand for the pair if necessary.

2 cubes is too small for an xcon, what about the icons?

2 cubes is good for nightshades.

Where have you seen that 2 cu. is too small for the XCON? Denim over at SSA seems to think 2 cu. won't be a problem?

dc level 4

If you're set on staying under $700 get some DC LV4s or AQ HDC3s. If you can spend a little more get some LV4XLs. Either setup will do well in 4 cubes but AQs like a higher tuning. The DCs destroy the lows by the way.

and about how much does a level 4 go for? sorry to jack the thread but im lookin for a sub stage re-do this summer.

I was under the impression that XXX's like large sealed enclosures, and I only have room for 5 cu. total and I'd like to go ported.

I'd also prefer to go with new subs. Any other recommendations?

You think BL's would have no problem taking 1500w each daily? RMS is only 1kw on them.

I will be getting cooling and flatwind if I go with the BL's.

I've given an l7 12 2kwrms daily before, its not always about what the manufacturer says.
