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

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

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...

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!
