[QUOTE="VereChronicus, post: 1885292, member: 565864"] Well if you are after SQ then cone area is what you are after if you want it to get louder without moving very much. The infinity subs have always been cheap and do a decent job there. The kicker Comp is a POS and always has been. The PG octane is just a reciprocating bling special. Your best bet is to try and steal 1.25-1.5 cubic feet apiece for the infinity 12's or drop down to 10's at .8-1.0 cubes apiece. If you want louder....which would actually be the beginning of loud.... you'd look into a well designed vented enclosure. For the output level desired, your subs would be moving less than the sealed and making the port do all the work. Remember/know that many ultra-high dollar home audio subwoofer systems are ported? That ultra-high dollar recording studio monitors are ported? And to get SQ, you don't have to tune the damdeded things to 30Hz either. Play whatever music you listen to on a Term Lab and you'll find out that VERY LITTLE even in rap music goes below 40Hz. Most is in the 45-50Hz range. [/QUOTE]
