[QUOTE="Jmez36hz, post: 8214047, member: 659296"] I'd go with a single 12 in a nice big ported box, tuned low. It will give you nice response in the majority of bass range, and hit the really low stuff well. You won't have such a high peak at a certain frequency, but nice even bass response. You can put the same sub in two different boxes and they will have VERY different responses. A box can make or break the way a sub sounds. For competitions people tune to a very specific frequency to max the output at that frequency, for musicality it is often good to have a big box tuned real low. If a box is tuned too high, it loses control of the sub at frequencies below what a box is tuned for, and can damage it with overexcursion. If you tune it low it will control the sub better, and also have a wider frequency response, and sound better with music. You can spend 2000$ on a sub and put it in a crappy box, and it will still sound like crap... [/QUOTE]
