Posted May 13, 200421 yr You all helped me to design my box for the magnum to go in my reg cab s10. While im savin up money im still exploring my options and for abt the same price i was i could go these two directions.....-2 re se 12s getting 600 watts a piece (dunno which amp yet) with 1.0 cubes a piece before displacementOR-a single 12" magnum d2 in a 2.65^3 box before displacements tuned to 28hz using two 4"x40.5" aero ports powered by a jl 500/1now, I was just wondering you guys' overall opinion btwn the two any and all comments/suggestions/help would be appreciated!ThanxTom Edited May 13, 200421 yr by tlm
May 13, 200421 yr well i would think the RE's to have the edge in spl but i dont think they can take the mags in SQ. and the loew you tune the better the SQ well get.
May 13, 200421 yr Author SQ is not too important to me as long as they dont sound like complete crap and i know both setups would probably satisfy my SQ needsalso,how much of an spl edge do you think they would be?thanx for the quick input!Tom Edited May 13, 200421 yr by tlm
May 13, 200421 yr yea but sometimes cone area can be overanalyzed, because if i got a sub and it only moves .5in of excursion compared to one with 3in of exursion. i would got wt the 3in..numbers are just in general
May 13, 200421 yr Author the only thing i already have is the 500/1, im just lazy and didnt wanna get sumtin new til later lol now, if the re setp was the same but i was pushin 1200 watts on the mag instead of 500, which would you guys prefer??Thanx Tom

May 15, 200421 yr Author so do u think the mag ould out perform the 12s if i had 1200 watts goin to it rather than 500?ThanxTom
May 15, 200421 yr From the way it looked the SEs would be sealed and the SI ported?At 500 watts the SI will fall behind the SEsAt 1200 watts the SEs will fall behind.Thats how I would see it going down.Porting a subwoofer correctly has the same effecct as adding another sub with equal power.
May 16, 200421 yr my two 10's were about the same loudness as my 12" d2 now. both setups sealed. I would garuentee 2 12" SE's would be louder. SQ cant compare to the D2 th B) ough. Although the SE's sounded very nice, just not D2 nice
May 16, 200421 yr anything 12" and over sounds like shit in a single cab. I'd stick with 1 12" or two 10" unless you don't care about the sound.
