Just so I can understand my comparisons more, how important is the difference in group delay, like is 3ms a big deal?

I forgot to ask too, should I be worrying so much about the real low frequencies, like below 40Hz. If I should be would a sub with higher spl low or higher be/sound better. I did look at one sub where the spl crossed right around 40Hz and wasn't quite as loud as the ED.

the eD in 1.6 cubes at 30Hz should sound very nice and dig pretty deep.

Yes, it does seem to be ideal. I think I will order 2 of those and get going on the boxes. I have a can of 3M spray on sound deadener around here somewhere, should I spray the inside of the panels with that?

it is not necessary at all to use sound dampening material inside a 3/4" MDF enclosure.

Just use some caulk and seal up the seams from leaks. If you want you can lay down a couple coats of fiberglass resin on the interior for extra strength and seal up any leaks...but it is not necessary.

Ok, thank you very much. You have been extremely helpful. I may be going with a 13Kv.2 due to it's lower cost, and it has better group delay and is slightly louder. Once again your help is greatly appreciated.

600 watts for a 13Kv.2 is pushing it. Overall the 13Ov.2 will perform better and probably suffer from less power compression

As long as I kept the gain down it'd be alright wouldn't it. Or is that not really proper. I entered it in WINISD with 500W when I came up with my results by the way.

Or I could power them using 1 PRS-D1200SPL which would provide 500W each.

well yes you can set your gains down. But with the power and if you can afford the 13Ov.2 they really are a step up in out and sound quality.

The 13Kv's are great subs for the price though also...either way you'll be happy.
