[QUOTE="drpeeb, post: 6025331, member: 609183"] Currently have one 10" Alpine SWS-1043D (300W RMS/ 900W max) in 1 cu-ft sealed box ... [IMG]http:////forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=26511666&d=1243441093[/IMG] ... powered by my Alpine PDX-5's sub channel rated at 300W with birth sheet showing 424W. I had planned to add the 2nd SWS-1043D that I bought at the same time in a 2nd similar box, but with limited space I'm now thinking of just putting in a replacement single sub: a 12" Alpine SWR-1222D (500W RMS/ 1500W max; power range 200W-500W). The weird thing is, Alpine's manual calls for a sealed box [I]smaller[/I] than the 10" SWS I have now. Alpine says the 10" SWS's optimum sealed box is 1.0 cu-ft , whereas the 12" SWR optimum sealed box is only 0.85 cu-ft. Isn't that strange? A bigger sub needing to go in a smaller box?? If I went with the 12" SWR, would this pound noticeably harder than the 10" SWS, powered by my "424" watt sub channel? ... or would I just be wasting my $?? Thanks as always ... [/QUOTE]
