Boss Audio?

[coheed]

Alright, change of plans. Not sure on head unit, but I'm deffinatly going with kicker subs and speakers; home built sealed box; and a good quality amp. Now the subs I'm considering are the Comp VR 12's. The min. recommended sealed box size is 1.0 cubic feet. The max recommended is 4.6. I plan on running two in the box and was wondering if a larger or smaller box would be better for lows, highs, responce, etc.I want to hit highs and lows, not so low it'll break any glass though. Also can you guys recommended me an amp?

box size differences don't impact the final sound of the sub in a sealed setup as they do in ported setups... Basically anything in that 1.0-4.0 range should be fine. the smaller the box the "punchier" it will sound. 4 cubes is a BIG box for car audio... and honestly, it'll be hard to do that for 2 subs (8cubes) in our cars without doing a wall. I'd say go with 1.0 - 1.5cubes each. and then go to walmart and pick up some of the pillow stuffing the synthetic stuff. The audio world calls it Polyfil or acousti-stuff. You put a bunch of that in a box and it actually tricks the sub into playing as if it were in a bigger box.

THUS... saving cargo room and weight.

So a 2' cube box with the "stuffing" in it, would be a good box? Cause I plan to build a box like tinygiant and can probably fit 2' cubic box in that spot.
