[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8833850, member: 614752"] You may have already shot yourself in the foot with that box then. Any metric for "good sound" is going to depend on matching the sub with the correct box and then you will need to have that system in a good position in the car. That prefab box seems a bit on the small side for 2 12's, being sealed you must now find a woofer that is designed to perform correctly in a sealed box of that airspace, then you may also find that that intended position in the trunk is going to be rather poor, that sort of arrangement is "all show and no go", and leaves room for all sorts of standing waves; in other words, box all the way to the back or in a corner will avoid a lot of acoustic interference. Not sure if the DC is fit for sealed box, but before you buy anything make sure manufacturer has similar sealed box recommendations for the woofer. [/QUOTE]
