[splmark 0]

i have 2 15"se/xxx's i wanted to know how much power should i throw at them also what do you guys think for a box. im looking for a loud DD.

do you think of 9 cubes before sub and port displacment and 135" of port tuned to 35hz's

So? Scott used to design RE subs, so he would know what enclosure would be good for them. And I think alot of other people on this forum are capable of helping him out as well.

It's true scott used to design the subs but i don't think he has designed the new subs (I could be wrong but i thought David was designing them now)...

As for the help i am confused if he has the Se or the XXX model so can't comment

[JimJ 11]

Sounds like he might have the SeXXX's, which were the predecessors to the SX line.

You dont need to be an ass about it...I was pointing him to people whom I am 100% sure will know the answer to his question. And I was not rude about it...

Yes, I do know those subs (as well as all the other current ones). We rated them at 1000W RMS (Id uese 800-1000 with them). So somewhere around there would be fine.

135sqin (depending on how it is oriented) will kill of 2.5+ cuft of enclosure... really bringing you into diminishing returns. Going back some to about 100sqin will be a little mroe realistic and end up netting you about 7 cuft at 35 Hz.

Should work well with that.

Scoot know's my sub's well since i jsut got them back from him :-)

i can go to 10-11 cuft if you think it will be better or should i just stick with 7 and 100" of port?

[Fi Car Audio 64]

7 cuft wont be too bad and it will keep a little more of an airspring on the subs (for mechanical power handling).

You definitely can go larger and gain around tuning... it will get peakier and be louder...

How much power do you have for them?

i don't have the amp yet but im looking at 2 autotek MM2000's one for now and one for latter when i upgrade ro BL's or BTL's

[splmark 0]

i jsut got my amps they are 2 dei D2400's so i have around 1000 to each, i can also go up to around 12^3 after wood displacment.

what size box/ port should i go with?
