are they good in sealed enclosures, i have 2 type r 12's in a big ported, they sound great,, just looking for something cheap and need to be in a sealed enclosure... was thinkin 4 10's off 500 rms going in a 64 impala convertible, under where the rag lays into, since it basically firing up into the air i thought sealed would be better then ported... no room in trunk

We had 1 12 in a 1 cubic foot sealed box... I really like the sound of it, it got loud enough and hit the lows fairly decent. I don't recall the power we had going to it.

cool, i was thinkin bout runnin 2 10's or 4 10's in a common chamber sealed... would that be better then seperate chambers for them.. i can probably get 4 cubes behind the seat.

Separate chambers won't do much for you... It is just nice to have them in case 1 woofer blows, that way the other woofer's volume doesn't change. I don't think it is worth the added effort though. 4 10s would be fun. You may not need all 4 cubes though, remember, we were running a 12... a 10 probably needs less to function just as well.

so stick with single chamber or seperate for each sub? i currently have 2 12's ported in a single chamber..sounds awesome...

what type of air space will i need per sub? .75 ,, 1.0,,? if i go a lil bigger then recommended wont it get a lil lower i dont want to much high bass....

I'd personally stick to single chamber just to makes things easier... If you want to make things more complex then go separate chambers. Doing separate chambers will likely make the box more solid and if a sub were to ever blow the others would be fine, but I don't find the extra effort worth the reward.

I don't see a space recommendation for the woofer on their site, so I would probably go with around .75 each sealed. 1 cube is likely a tad bit big for these.
