[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8603684, member: 614752"] If the box in the video is yours it looks very nice. What's the tuning? What exactly do you feel you're "missing" now? What would you like to gain if you could? Like I said all things equal you could only expect to gain 1.4dB in a perfect world for 50% more cone area and that's not even a full click on a 0-35 volume knob so you may well wind up dropping 1600$ on new subs spend 12 hours and 150$ building another box and wind up being more or less about the same loud! Now if you've got money, like to build, and like to audition new stuff go for it, you may get lucky and hit a combo of amp/sub/box that really nails it for you, but you may be heart broken either. Not sure about the Sundown subs but the subs I use 15's don't get louder than 12's up until you get them in closer to 4 cube each, the only big benefit they'll give you below that is more power handling so if you're hitting mechanical limits on your 12's upgrading may help a fair bit more.
