2 Way active Setup for Friend

[Smondo17 0]

Title explains it just wanted to run it by some people on here. Wanted to keep it pretty simple and not overly expensive. Going with a an alpine 9887 headunit running active. Sundown 100.4 amp, Sea CA18RNX mids, and Seas 27TFFNC/G tweeters. Crossing tweets at around 2.5k and mids around low 2k. Question that i just want to make sure is can the CA18RNX mids run up to the 2k range?

They will be fine playing to 2k

Dont feel like starting another tread but friend is looking to get a 12inch Icon Sealed running off a sundown 1000D. Optimal box that they suggest is 1.2 cubic inches. Would there be any benefits to a bigger enclosure? Also what are the differences between the 10 and 12. More cone area for the 12 more output? does one get a little lower? any SQ differences?

Not that you'll be able to audibly hear a difference in SQ. You may hear a bit in SPL, but not enough to make you *gasp*.

A benefit to a larger box is running less power. You could always use the recommended box size and then stuff it about half full with polyfill. That should get you an extra .2^3ft of "space".
