sealed subs can take more power than ported subs, this is common knowledge,

Yes, it is a sealed box firig upwards, it sounds cleaner this way and i can use my trunk withot worring about damaging the subs from things shiftig in front oc the cones or anything like that see my gallery for more info

By ear, i have neer tested this with a meter, logic would say my loudest sounding would have less spl but like i said that all about perveived volume not spl, it might have a little somehig to do with my front door speakers i plan to test this out when i get aholf of a tl again

strangly mine hits hardest with the rear door windows both open down 3/4ths of the way (don't go down all the way) subs sealed firing up in a hatchback, second loudest is all windows closed except driver window.

tuning into this project kinda late but still can't wait to see more, thumbs up for doin shit right the first time

The 3500 will be plenty for those Havocs. Just make sure they see clean power and set your gains right. Wiring below 1 Ohm for daily isn't the smartest thing in the world to do and it voids the warranty. I love the doors! Yea i know goin to .66 is bad usually i dont have any experience with the saz line so idk. But i run 2 havocs and they suck on over 1500 watts each every day Though i should probably point out that i am running sealed. Also it is going to put out a little less power at 1.33 than its rated 3500 i am sure it will still sound rediculous though even when i had mine sharing a single 1500 they got pretty beastly

dude those doors look incredible, and is 3500 gonna be enough for those havocs?, anyone ever checked the output teh 3500d at 1.33 ohms? or are you dropping to .66 ohms? i will be following this one,

And MORE efficient. idk about you but i actually HAVE two havocs in a sealed box and have a friend who got the same two subs and ran them ported, yes his is a really huge amount louder to the ear and YES MINE GOES DEEPER, YES THE RESPONSE IS ALOT FLATTER, AND YES I THINK THE HITS SOUND A SMIDGE CLEANER so if you want loud go ported, if you like youe music deep and clean, (or are limited by space like i was) go sealed, i really think you will be happier either way

AA havocs are BEAST, though i ran mine sealed so i really can't help you bro

yes, steve at FI wanted to go in a different direction than nick so they branched off and steve started his own brand Ascendant Audio, the companies are completely unrelated regarding owners and employees, but the technology is very very similar, if you look at an fi q vs an AA havoc you will find them very similar. both use teh same surrounds and spider structures, i have seen both and the build quality on both drivers was superb I currently run 2 Ascendant audio havoc 15's in a sealed enclosure, they slam pretty good, but they sound incredible both teh fi Q and the Ascendant audio Havoc are designed for sound quality first and loudness second, it does the first VERY well, and still manages to do a damn good job on the second. the havoc is alllmost as loud as the fi bl to the ear, but the bl shaves a few more db at the meter. The mayhem is ascendant audio's answer to the FI BTL, overall i would say they are an even match, though i would still choose Mayhem because to my ears they seem to hit the higher bass a little harder then the btl, but below 45 hz for both subs it is a dead heat. the SMD series is jsut insane, that's all i got to say about it, i don't have another sub to really compare it to that i have actually heard before, but if you want to ask me " is it louder then the btl?" or "does it beat the Mayhem?" the answer will be "yes, deffinately"
