Which pair of 12's sealed?

[YungGunna313 10+ year member]

ok my friend has a hifonics xx-hercules, 2000w @ 1 ohm. hes narrowed down a few picks of 12" subs that he likes, but hes not sure what to get. just need a few opinions on what pair would be the best for him. he lookin for good sq, but he also wants to rattle some cars around him at the same time:

2 MTX Thunder 9500's

2 RE SX12's

2 Kicker L7's

2 PA Mofo12's

the subs are gonna be put in a sealed enclosure for space reasons. he listens to rap if that has anything to do with it, but im just tryin to help him out. im kinda leanin to the MTX's or RE's, i kno the L7's get loud, but you guys tell me what you think, thanks for the help.

the Soundsplinter rl-S come out real soon, and they would fit the bill nicely

He should look at the Rl-P's, I think I've read that someone was throwing ~ 1000 watts to a pair sealed.... There is no replacement for displacement, especially if he is going sealed...

9500's All day long and dont think twice. Those things are built like tanks, and can handle just about anything you throw at it.

I agree...sealed, SX's.

wouldn't run those sealed. oh, and the other subs aren't built like tanks and can't handle anything you throw at it.

Aren't the SX's stock dual 2ohm? If the amp is 2000rms @1ohm, you'll need to order dual 4ohm SX's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

But that'd be my choice as well...

RE SX sealed is not a good choice for SQ or SPL... SX should be ported for best results. I purchased this sub and after several people on this forum pointed this out to me I called RE and their tech agreed, (RE was cool enough to cancel the order). I would go with the SE for a sealed SQ and SX for ported. I my self went with the Ascendant Ava. 12 as I needed a sub that could be wired to 4ohm and handle 1K W. But I am a noob and have been wrong several times while trying to build this system so wait for some other more knowledgeable folks to respond.

What choice do I have... I really do not know what I am talking about compared to most on this board but I finally had something to add to a thread. Just wanted the guy to wait for someone who could confirm or ridicule me before making a decision. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

i don't know if anyone here would agree with me, and they aren't even an option given, but 2 Power Acoustik FUBAR 12's sealed thump real well and sound good... (700rms each) for whatever reason they love sealed... (i owned them) the MOFO and SX are definately port oriented, don't know about the others...

The 9500s like to see ported as well.
