Greetings! Long time reader, first time poster!
The time has come for the next step in my little project. I am currently running a 2 way setup in my silverado (diy peerless) with 225 watts RMS per channel. Ive been running it for a couple months with no sub and I do enjoy it, however I am ready for more, deeper bass from my setup.
Im having a hard time deciding between the high output and high fidelity version of the Dayton Reference 12" sub. I am planning on running two through my HiFonics BX1500D (1000watts RMS).
I cant decide between two sealed HF woofers, or two ported HO woofers. It is a single cab, so I do not have too much room to work with, my last sub was a 12" nakamichi in a ported 2.75" enclosure, and i had no problems making that fit.
Im mostly wondering if there is really that much SQ difference between the HO and HF woofer. This is my daily driver, i dont compete, and I just like good, clean sound. Ive read a couple people say that the HO is the way to go in a car setup due to small enclosure requirements. I am currently leaning that way.
BTW, what size enclosures/ports would you guys reccomend for these subs in a daily driver sq setup? Or is the Dayton sub my best option for the price range? (~$250 that can handel 1000watts rms)
Any input would be greatly appriciated!
