[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8341578, member: 650438"] 8 inch subs need around 0.5 - 1.25 cubic feet airspace per subwoofer. When you want a 1.5 cubic feet box tuned at 37hz for 2 12s, no 12s will perform well in that box because subwoofers need to breath. They need proper airspace to perform or else you are limiting your subwoofer's performance down to 20% of what they can actually do. 2 12s need 3 to 5 cubic feet airspace so thats 1.5 to 2.5 cubic feet for each. If you dont have enough space, you'll want to go with a smaller subwoofer so it can be in a right enclosure. The enclosure is what gets you loud. [/QUOTE]
