Sub decision once again

Recommended Posts

I'm running my options and these are to be run of the sub channel of an AX5600 (don't know the exact sub, was told around 6-700w@ 1 ohm) i would prefer the mounting depth the to be 6" and under (preferrably skinnier the better, but if it will proved better performance, im all for up to 6.5. I would like to keep the airspace around 1.5 cubic ft sealed

choices so far are (in no particular order):

1 10 or 12" SE

1 12" FI SSD

2 10" FI x1 V2

2 Soundsplinter RL-i 1

2 10" Sundown Sd1's

2 12 or 10" Mach 5 MAW 10's

for the RE's i would be staying with the optimal sealed enclosure

for the SSD i am staying with the recommended box specs of 1.1 cubes with the Copper coil + soft spiders for less power handling. Any idea on the amt of distance the pole vent needs from the side of the box? i want it to be as skinny as possible.

for the 2 10" X's im just going use .65 cubes each.

i was doing some calculations (not sure how accurate), but due to the limited xmax of the X's the single SSd would have a tad more displacement than the pair of X's.

the most expensive are going to be the 2 Sundown and the 2 RL-i's

the MAW's are cheap but they have gotten good reviews....

As you can see, i am leaning towards more SQ from my system. Im going to focus the majority of my efforts on the front stage and installation. From what the way i am leaning, its Either going to be the pair of X's or the sundowns. the other subs are either too expensive or i am not digging the deep mounting depth.

also any other reccomendations would be nice as well :)

I think the Fi X price is awesome, but I love the RL-is also. If you are considering the SSD, I would drop the SE from the list. If you calculations are correct, maybe the SSD is the best single sub choice, but you can't deny the price/performance of the Mach5's.

I was gonna ask, why you didn't have an ICON in that list.

i don't have the power for them, nor the space. going to be bout 700w at 1 ohm.

turns out i have even less space than originally planned so that scratches out the SE10 and SSD, i think im going to be one of the guinea pigs for the Sundown SD-1 v2.

They look to be promising drivers, I would love a pair. As for the Icons mounting depth, that has been the one issue a few people have had.
