i could get a 12. i would have to get a new box. for trunk space (not that i even use the trunk anymore anyway) i would have preferred 1 sub back there and i figured; why not put a 15" in a small sealed enclosure - since i had heard that the alum15x hits hard and LOW in small sealed boxes... so here i am, looking to upgrade as i am not totally content. i think for now i want to plug that JBL 1200.1 into my audiobhan sub to see how it handles it.
per your suggestions, i think i just might go for 2 12's in sealed box(es). my goal is to have great sound quality in the car. hitting high db is great, but i am totally willing to compromise. this is going to take a lot more research and planning.
thanks again!

diamond audio d6 would be perfect for the especially the 12! and they get plenty loud. i did a 10 d6 in a .75 cf box at 34hz it did a 130.0 flat and sounded incredible...

the re sx woudl handle a jbl 1200.1, i'd bet, but i just realised you want a small sealed box and they don't like them. so scratch that.i think diamond audio may carry one... check http://www.diamondaudio.com

why do you need a 15" sub? Would a 12" sub work for you? sure a 15" sub will get pretty loud, but so will a 12" sub. Plus it can go into smaller enclosures. Just a thought

thank you all for the advice. this is a lot food for thought. now i'm kind of stuck wondering if there is a 15" sub that could do with 2 cubes sealed and be pushed with the JBL 1200.1? thanks!

The Type R 15 can actually handle 1k daily for a real world number. However, RMS ratings really aren't "real world" ratings anyways. The power handling of any subwoofer will be based mainly off it's enclosure. Now, to answer you question..Would I give the R 1200w in a small sealed enclosure? No. Also I'd go a little larger than 2 cubes for the 15. From what i've heard...the new R's like larger sealed enclosures..the 12 will do well in around 2 cubes sealed and the 15 should do well in 2.5-3.0 cubes. You're not really going to notice a huge difference either way. That amp Bill has would be perfect for you IMO. 800 watts would be great for the 15 in a daily application.

Yes it was, I think he now runs two 12's, and is hitting 152.x or somrthing

by Darthness » Tue Dec 06, 2005 1:13 pm

isn't there a video of on realmofexcursion with 2 type-r 15"s with like 1000w each going to them?(but that may be the same guy who modified the type-r's)
