SX to SE Comparison

I was wondering if the SX had better overall SQL than the SE series from RE. Or does its just get louder for SPL and carry less SQ?

Well...the SE is supposed to be their entry level SQ woofer...while the SX is supposed to be their entry level SPL woofer. SO, in all honesty...I know you'll hate hearing this...but it's install dependant. There will not be a night and day difference in the SQ b/w the two. So, one may lean a little one way or the other. peace

Re: SX to SE Comparison

RE claims that the SX can have just as good of SQ as the SE, but like NG said that's purely install dependant..... the SX will get hella louder in w/e application tho!!

Re: SX to SE Comparison

so would the SX be ported like the SES, or should it be sealed for better sq?

I'll never go back to sealed...maybe till i become an EXTREME sq nerd...

But I've fallen in love with ported tuned low, like 29-33hz or so. peace

Re: SX to SE Comparison

haha good point ill admit i havent heard the sub.. but how many sealed SX installs have you seen? and if your speanding that much more on the sub to get more SPL why wouldnt you>? it would suck to be disappointing if you didnt hear the output you wanted after you spent a day in the shop building a sealed box. and also the t/s params of the sub suit it much better for a ported box for the flatest responce curve(according to winisd anyways)

besides if you were that into SQ you probably wouldnt buy an SX anyways.. so odds are youll be looking for SQL and ported thi ssub will give that.

now give me that many reasons why he would be better off sealed. edge on SQ, more power handling, easier to build??

i still say ported.. regardless of whether or not ive installed 20 SXs or not
