    Hi i am gonna order some new subs monday and was wondering what would sound better. Two 12 RE Audio SRX12's in a ported box or One 15" RE SEX In a sealed box. I am a bass head so dont really care about SQ, just want mainly bass, the lower the better.

    12's in a ported box tuned to around 34 hz.. but im not a big fan of RE Audio subs anymore.. atleast not the lower lines.. they dont handle abuse very well.. they are sound quality subs

    Man i had the entry level re's and i loved them. This is why i decided to stick with them and just move up a level, lol. If i had the money to also buy a ho alternator than i would of moved up to the se's. Either that or one XXX will be fine for me, lol. Maybe i should just build a box, they have websites that tell you all the cuts you need to make right? But that would probably be more expensive for me since i dont have any of the tools, i will have to invest in those later. I'll just get a prefab for started than maybe in a few months i will attempt to build a box.

    i would do either of them in ported.. 12's should be louder then 1 15.. but an se 15 will prolly be louder then 2 rex 12's.. the se's also have alot more features and a 3" coil.. also in my classifieds i have an sex 15 for sale.... with a 1000 watt amp.. both for 380 shipped.. has warranty

    I agree. The 12s will be harder. With 2 subs you have more cone surface. I had 1 10 in sub at 500 watts. Dropped in a second 10 in, changed the load to 4 ohms meaning 250 watts rms x 1. But it was double the bass since they move more air. Ported for sure.
