with that power definately ported. Recomended box for those woofers is 2.7cubic feet before displacement, 50 square inches of port 16" long

have you ever used a shocker sealed with this power ? how would it sound ? cause i want a very musical sub but i want it to pound so what do you think would be better for rap and low bass type music, sealed or ported to like 30hz ?

Shockers love ported boxes...I have never had one in a sealed box because noone has ever recomended them in sealed boxes. and yes I have alot of experiance with shockers I have owned

2 12" Shocker 2As
2 12" Shocker 2Bs
2 15" Shocker 2Bs
4 12" Shocker Extremes
2 15" Shocker Superextremes
4 18" Shocker superextremes
2 12" Shocker Sig Series
2 18" Shocker sig series

just so you know that I speak from experiance. I loved those woofers but be careful with that power...I had a pair on a MMATS D300HC (around 1200wrms at 2ohms but on a pair) and when I burped then at full out the coils definately got hot...they should be fine just don't run em full out for long periods

I used the recomended box...I have no idea what its tuned to. No they aren't SQ subs and don't sound that good, they are pretty loud though but if you want something that sounds amazing you bought the wrong subs lol.
