What would you do here?

I am looking for some good SQ that can get loud. Currently I am running to Boston Pro 10.5's in an older BMW 325. They are in a sealed box in the trunk. I am running them off of PG Tantrum 1200.0. They sound good but just don't get loud. That trunk is like a sealed trap. So, I removed the rear deck speakers and that opened things up a little but I want more.

So, I am thinking about either 2 RE SE 12's or a JLB WGTI15. I would most likely run both sealed and I would like to keep the box under 3 cf.

Give me your thoughts or maybe other suggestions - I have around $300 or so to work with.

Thanks!

For loud SQ, I'd say go with 2 ID or IDQ 12's in a ported box, tuning freq around 30-35Hz.

Will be a tight fit in that trunk.

There is actually quite a bit of room in the trunk. It is an '86 325 with the longer trunk than the new models. Anyone else?

I have the RE SE's and i love the sound quality that they have and they hit resonable hard as well. i do have a ported box though.

I agree. Except I would go sealed.
