here in the philippines, there is a 10" challenge for car audio shops.. who ever can make the RE MT10 hit 150+ DB gets another free MT10.. restrictions are: single MT10" on trunk 1amp 1extra battery me and other shop owners tried it.. amp used: AAMP monster 5kw box: tuned @ 45hz wires: guage 0 stinger wires extra bat: stinger SPV70 first the MT10 on the term lab it hit 146.2 we tried the same setup on a FI BL fulloption.. on the term lab it hit 148.6 how did this happen?ö?ö?

i have noticed that The new RE subwoofers like the SR, SE, SXX are badly built unlike they where before.. correct me if im wrong but RE subwoofers are now china made but parts still came from US.. if i where to compare products in general.. i would like to know your opinion about these.. which is a better brand in general terms and application.. RE vs FI? RE vs SunDown(subwoofers)? RE vs AA? fi sundown and aa seem to have the same built for that subwoofer.. they have the element of just by looking at them you knw this sub is loud..

x2.. proper level matching..

NO, because porting a leaky enclosure is not a good idea. You do NOT have a wall, you have an IB installation. To the OP, if you can't fit a 18 ported buy a 15. So far from your posts I am not sure that the Q is right for you in the first place, buy you haven't shared goals so we all get to guess when we answer. what does IB means? but thankyou for correcting me.. and for the info... i agree maybe 18" for your trunk is too much.. one 15" or two 12" is a good option for sedans..

yeah i read the msg of the thread starter again, just notices it was an fi Q. my bad.. i just got used to the fi here in the philippines which is the SSD,BL and BTL.. if so the Q is just 1000rms? then saz1500 alone would do just fine ..

hey man im sorry i didn't mean to sound stupid to you guys. we just use the term "trunk wall" here in the Philippines because we sealed every possible air to go to the back, but the sub used was an 2 AA 18" mayhem, but it was on a sealed box, consumed about 3cubicft ea. strapped two saz 1500D to power 1 mayhem, in total used 4 saz1500D and was placed in the trunk.. and since your going to use 1 18" then you could do a ported one.

a port facing your trunk plus the sub facing up would produce huge amount of cancelation of power.. not to mention rattles would just absorb the power and outside you would just hear atleast 60% of the output..

why dont you try building a trunk wall.. construct the box inside the trunk.. for an 18" you need atleast 7cubicft.. if your not going to put some stuff in your trunk might aswell maximize the space, face the sub inside the car.. tuned at 40hz.. sub facing up, port facing inside your car.. for the fi.. try to strap two saz1500d it would produce a clean 2600W. the fi 18 can handle it.. dont worry.. hehehe

thanks man.. BTW,i mailed you yesterday did you get it? btw, i forgot how the trooper looked like after the job hehehe here are some pics of it and the shows along with the nissan safari, chevy tahoe, and my car mazda3.. (the black one is mine)
