I would look at DC subs for sealed. They like small enclosures.

Anyone who prefers sealed boxes hasn't heard a good ported box.

Depends on your listening objectives. With in car cabin gain, there is no need for the extension a ported enclosure gives you.

I don't know. I'm an SPL guy.

I don't have any expertise in tuning. I just like loud bass, and a prefab ported box is louder than a custom sealed box without any noticeable difference in sound quality.

There's a huge difference in sq between a prefab ported and sealed box. That prefab ported won't have the range or go as low.

I'm thinking you haven't heard proper subs in a sealed box. Not all subs do well sealed but I promise you my sql-15's have a lot of output sealed.

Fair enough. I've had ported for my last couple boxes, but while my last box was great for the 32-50, it lacked everywhere else. So next box will either be sealed or tuned lower and flatter without the extra output.

I heard this really cool guy AnthonyO has a set of Alpine S2-W10’s brand new in the box that he has been trying to part with for $225 for the pair.

What about the rectifier downstreaming the decibels into the final ohm load and causing crosstalk with the rca cable upload signal?

That's completely possible. I haven't used a sealed box by choice since i first tried a ported box as a teenager. I think of sealed as outdated technology.
