Finally after a few weeks of telling myself to buy it, I just did. I'm already way too anxious for this sub. It's going to be quite different from my last sub stage which was 4RE8's in a 6th order bandpass. Im going to be running this one at 2ohms off of an md2d. Right now I'm looking at running it a ported box of 4cuft at ~28 hz. Any other sugggestions?

Either that or sealed, I really liked the 12Q I heard in their recommended sealed alignment.

I was thinking of just building both a sealed and a ported box to see which i like better. Room really isn't much of a problem because i never use the back of my explorer for anything.

i just got mine installed in a 4.8 cuft ported at 28 hz, this thing is crazy loud for one sub on a thousand watt amp? you can reallyl feel the air moving in the car. LOL i love it. def. go ported, it's also the best SQ i've had from a sub, just can't say enough about it.

Very good idea

For me, the output from the sealed enclosure was more than needed, but it may be different for you...the only way to really know is to do what you said.
