[QUOTE="LongThrow, post: 8478814, member: 661351"] NOTE - I am very limited with money currently - I know it takes a quite a bit of money to be satisfied with this hobby and to do things properly. But nevertheless, this will still be an upgrade from my first few attempts. I just needed either ONE sub, with a ported box, and an amp - OR - TWO subs with a sealed box, and amp. I think I'm leaning towards a Infinity Reference 1262w or a PPI SN.12 This is the PPI SN.12 box specs Minimum Sealed Box Volume 1.0 cubic feet Optimum Sealed Box Volume 1.25 cubic feet Minimum Ported Box Volume 1.5 cubic feet Optimum Ported Box Volume 2.0 cubic feet This is the Reference box specs , Minimum Sealed Box Volume 1.25 cubic feet Optimum Sealed Box Volume Maximum Sealed Box Volume 1.25 cubic feet Minimum Ported Box Volume 2.0 cubic feet Optimum Ported Box Volume Maximum Ported Box Volume 2.0 cubic feet and as you can see , very similar. I'm kinda leaning on the sn.12 [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_24859_2-Pack-of-Infinity-Reference-1262W.html"]Pair of Infinity Reference 1262W (REF1262W) 12" Dual 4 ohm Subs[/URL] [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_68774_Precision-Power-PPI-SN.12.html"]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_68774_Precision-Power-PPI-SN.12.html[/URL] ONE of those, in this box [URL="http://www.mobilesoundworks.com/product_p/2_0-msw-112-round-box.htm"]2 Cu.
