To add to the above, you won't use half of your 2kw to run the subs to thier limits.. you are no longer fighting against as box, so power handleing drops..
What you net is a super smooth response that drops to the lowest of the lows (within the limits of the subs) but doesn't have the bump in output that ported or even sealed offer..
Most make up for this with mutiple large drivers (or more small ones) or big excursion subs ...
I'll be using a pair of ID IDQ15's it looks like, cause my amp won't run my Critical Mass UL12, like I had hoped.. (IDQ's being larger, but low excursion, the UL12 is just a 12, but with 3" peak to peak excursion)
