Some of you may know that I was going to get Sundown X 12s and then decided to get 2 10s because I couldn't fit 2 12s properly since they require a much bigger box and I'm kinda limited on room. I decided to have subs/port facing rear and have my battery and amps up closer to the front and build an amp rack there. I have a box design for the 10s here it is:

 

 

Sundown recommends a much larger box (1.5-2.0 cubes per 10) to utilize the new surround and suspension. It will get much more excursion then. Also minimum required port area for these 2 10s is 75in2.

 

Well I've been thinking since I have a height of 17 and a width of 34 I could fit 2 15s on the face. However, the box would be sealed. With those dimesions I can have a sealed box around 5.75 - 6 ft3. I'm not sure how big the X 15s need for a sealed box though; I'm calling sundown to ask tomorrow. I doubt it's more than 3 cubes.

 

 

Now I'm pretty sure that the 15s would get louder due to the big increase in cone area. I'm just not sure if they would get as low. I love the lows and have not had a sealed box since my first setup 2 years ago when it was 2 orion cobalt 12 in a very small sealed box. I'm not sure how sealed boxes actually play and where they peak since there's no port, but I like to listen to low songs like on my level, white girl, and no hands. Songs that have low bass like that.

 

 

I'm really not concerned with the loudness as I know the 10s would be plenty loud. I'm more concerned with the 15s being in a sealed box and not being able to play lows as well as the 10s in the ported box will. Can someone tell me how well sealed boxes play low? I know bigger the sealed box, the lower it will play? Wait, right? haha

 

Thanks in advance.

rong but I believe they are not sealed oriented..... Don't quote me on that.... 

On one of the thread Jacob made about either the z v.4 or the x series, he did a test of the 15 and said he wanted to try one of them in a sealed box. I don't know if there's a big difference between the subs. Ill have to look for that thread.

either way, I'm pretty sure they "excel" in a ported and probably lose alot of output sealed.... Like they aren't made for that..... 

Hmm I wonder if that is true. I guess the deal breaker is what sundown will say lol

Try and get a MOD to move this to the sundown section... or put your original post in the PRE-order thread and quote the OP of the thread at the same time

Yea your right lol ill have a mod move it.
