Sub help for boat

[Wkerat 0]

Hey everyone. I am getting ready to order equipment for my new boat. In my last boat I ran two FI Q 12's with the high qts option in 1 cube sealed fiberglass enclosures (after displacement) with 1200 watts rms each. With that I have two questions:

1) What subs would you recommend (I have been looking at the Xcon, Q, and Exile Big, but am open to anything). I have a Exile 2500.1 amp that I plan to use which puts out 2500 watts at 1 ohm.

2) What would fit best in the space provided (info below)? (I know I can fit 2 12's sealed again easily)

Anyway, the new boat gives me some more room to play with, but limited access. I know I want to install one sub on the drivers side. On that side I have a opening of 16.5 inches high (I can do some grinding and make it 17) and 19 inches wide (I may be able to stretch this to 22 inches with a little cutting as the corners are rounded, but there is a lip I'd have to work with). Depth is 18 inches max. If I do not need the full depth I can recess the box a little in this cubby.

In order to do two subs I can do two sealed on the drivers side (I can actually mount one above the area mentioned, but it would have to be something like last years Q in a small box) or can possibly do a 15 on the drivers side sealed and another in a seperate compartment. This compartment is HUGE, but the access is severely limited with a opening of 16.5 inches wide by 13.25 inches high. Once in the compartment I have a depth of at least 30 inches (could probably get 32, but would need to remeasure). I would plan to rotate the box so the 13.25 side was the base, 16.5 height, once in the compartment.

I do have experience building boxes, but not designing them so any help/recomendations would be great!

I am not oppossed to a single sub, but want the output to be greater then my 2 12's last year. I also like to listen to a lot of rap, rock, and usually am more on the ""SQL"" side of things.

Thank you!

The dealer is going to try to get it in their showroom for me soon. It is in their storage building because we are still getting some up here. I have some pics of the compartments on my computer at work, but no good pics of the outside. It is a axis a22 (www.axiswake.com) if that helps. Wakeboard boat. I am going to run 6 wetsounds xs-650 speakers in the boat and 2 of their pro 485 tower speakers (www.wetsounds.com). I am between arc audio amps (kar ks300.4 for the xs-650's and kar ks300.2 (one for each tower bridged at 700x1) or zed (dreadnought for the towers and draconia for the 650's) to power the tower and boat.

I know I have room for 2 15's sealed (one on drivers side and one in the storage compartment), or maybe 2 12's ported(same places, but it would be tight), but am not sure what my space and amp power will allow for best.

Thanks
