It sounds to me like you should go with the ported 12 and with 300RMS on tap, I would get the Dcon without hesitating.I listen to a lot of different styles music, including some occasional hip hop, but mostly top 40 stuff. I do appreciate a lot of detail in my music, but occasionally like to hear some powerful sub bass. When I was in my teens had a pair of 15inch RF Punch in a 8 cubic foot box, and I wouldn't mind re-living my youth once in awhile. My front stage consists of a nice Kenwood deck and 6 inch component speakers, powered by another old school amp, a precision power 2050m. I also have an old soundstream reference 405 (5 channel amp) that I considered running the whole system on, but the sub channel only puts out 200 watts rms. So not a high powered system, but a clean one. I had been using a JL audio 10inch sub for several years (it recently blew out), but wasn't every really that happy with the amount of low end it puts out in a 0.75 cubic foot sealed box. Looking for something much, much more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
BTW, Thanks for all the feedback so far, you have all been really helpful.
I know where you are coming from, I currently run 2 powerbass 2XL 15's on 1200 watts in my wifes' Suburban and they hit pretty dang good. Sounds like you are limited on space, or I'd suggest a 15 ported...Of the 2 you asked about, I'd do the DCON 12 ported, but here is another option ported:I listen to a lot of different styles music, including some occasional hip hop, but mostly top 40 stuff.

Running those ID's right now. Very pleased with them, clean sounding... very clean...I know where you are coming from, I currently run 2 powerbass 2XL 15's on 1200 watts in my wifes' Suburban and they hit pretty dang good.

You might consider a mid to upper 30's tune with the music you like...but this too will depend on the vehicle and sub/port alignment in the vehicle. With well thought out loading design, you can get good output from a single 12 ported on 3 - 400 watts
How clean?Running those ID's right now. Very pleased with them, clean sounding... very clean...
Pretty g-d clean man.How clean?
Hmm, might have to check'em outPretty g-d clean man. I have no complaints with them. If you wana do some SQ/SQL you can't go wrong with them IMO.
