Default Rockford HE2 subs?

At thezeb.com I can get these subs for $89 and since they are offering free shipping and no sales tax thats a pretty good deal I think. How good will these sound in a sealed box around 1.0 cubic feet? I think I'll get this instead of the elemental designs one, or should I just wait and get that one? Thanks.

I don't have an amp yet, I'm waiting until I figure out what sub I'm getting. I just want a single sub, probabaly in a sealed box. And I am going to get an amp that pushes about 400rms.

And if I don't like how it sounds with a 1.0c.f. sealed box I'll get something like a 1.25c.f. vented one. So does that sub sound compared to the ED's one?

RF subs aren't too bad, I had a 10" Hx2 and it was decent.

Well that sub I want is $89 total shipped. The ED's sub was like $140 shipped but I would have to wait at least a month.


Here is the exact sub:

Is the HE2 comparable?
