for the people that have used these subs do they work better in ported or sealed boxes?
how big for the 12"?
I know some love the RSDC but how do these sound? I have 3 xenon amp this is why im concidering them..
also if someone has a 12" for sale dual 2 would work best for me
Mike

please add thought and info

they should be happy in anything from 1.5 -3 sealed

they are a hard sub to tame. the have a sharp roll off after about 60hz but they will belt out the 20-40 range like a madman. its a weird phenomenon to have some notes shake your eyeballs out, and some notes completely missing. hope you have some beefy midbass'

i havnt used a ported box becasue i have never had room, plus, they already behave like most subs in a ported box since they have a stronger low end and steep upper roll off

as far as comparing them to rsdc's...the xenons play lower, and play extended low notes smoother. but not by much. they are much harder to blend into a system, need more power, and bigger boxes.

but shit do i love them

hmmm
I don't have a super good set of mid bass.
anyone know why they have odd peaks like that

1.5 i can do no problem now it the power i have only 480 rms do you think that would suite them?
also I don't see these to often
what the going price on them?
