An Audiobahn Alum10Q. 10 inch dual 6 ohm woofer, handles 800 watts rms. Powered by a Lanzar 1200w amp. The amp will run at approximately 650-700watts at 3ohms. What kind of a box do you think it would sound better in? A sealed box or ported. I know sealed is for more accurate bass and ported for louder bass but with 650-700watts rms, which would you prefer? Do you think it would be loud enough in a sealed enclosure?

Soon I will be running two Alum10Q's both at 650-700rms.

Also, which would be preferable, running the Lanzar 1200watt amp with the 10" or the 12".

Audiobahn ALUM10Q - subwoofers, "(cast 10” dual 6 ohm VC, 800 watts)"

Audiobahn ALUM12Q - subwoofers, "(cast 12” dual 6 ohm VC, 1000 watts)"

Would the loudness and sound quality decrease with the 12" compared to the 10" due to the 12" would be running at half of its rms?

 

IMO a ported box would be much better. Will be ALOT louder and I think you will be more pleased with it. Hope it helpz, Good Luck!

 

I like sealed boxes.
They make the heart skip...

Ported boxes are just loud....

 

not always true KJ depends on what size ports and what kind of ports you want i personally like the slot ports......and you can achieve good SQ along with good SPL with 3" port and depending on box height u can adjust the length

 

Can someone describe bandbass boxes? That is something I still don't understand the difference between. What makes them special, or are they not even that special?

 

it's a design where u invert pieces of wood to mount the speakers in.........best explanation i can come up with but it is a little more complicated than that buy one don't make em
