Because most people don't run their woofers IB or free air :)

that wasn't stated, and even then in ib or free air it still will make a diffrence your getting into the mechanics of subwoofers such as cone mass former / coil mass and most importantly in this situation spiders.

ps t/s parameters are bs.

So I'd would recommend that maybe you start looking into a nice 15" that will handle the 600w-800wrms range and feed it about that.

Hey thanks a lot for that, I'm thinking I should probably stay around 800 then and just spend the extra on a nice sub like u said. Preciate the help.

Also does anyone know if the good bad and ugly list still applies to 2007? I was checking it out to make a decision on all this stuff. Thanks

I think Ryan's point to the OP was to pick a sub that fits his application, not based on how much power it can take.

Okay thanks for the enlightenment guys. Now I was reading through the forum and found the threads about spl , sq and boomcars. Now I was wrong about wanting spl. Is there a way to incorporate a boomcar system with sq? And if so are there defining specs for each type (I.e. Spl,sq, and boomcar subs?)

I've been searching around and did the displacement formula for them and found the RE audio SE15 dual 4 ohm to be pushing out the most at 2.92 , does that sound correct? And is that a good level for a boomcar?

An SE would work. An SX in a ported box would probably be even better.
Also consider Fi Car Audio and Ascendant Audio subs. Both are great buys for the money. If you're looking for the ability to get loud, there's no replacement for displacement. Go with the biggest sub that you have room to box up. Box sizes get quite big as your sub diameter increases, so keep the amount of room you have available to work with in mind.

wolfpack audio FSQ wouldnt be a bad idea.

Will they be avaliable and ready to ship soon? If so I'll probably go that way since they look sweet!!

Boomcar (a.k.a. SQL) is actually just that... It it a suitable combination of SQ and SPL for a daily driver...
My own recommendations for you would be:
RE SX15
WP FSQ15
Fi Q15
Massive CW15
Listed in order of price (most expensive to cheapest)... any one of these would make an outstanding street system in the right enclosure
