Can I please break a 147?

Not with DC subs. Big box equals broke subs. 

If you're breaking a pair of 12's off of 5K DC's build quality is really going to ****. You should hit up Jacob for Z recone kit and lrn2 recone. We did up a friend's 15" lv5 with Z parts and he liked it better than when he bought it. Held up to an Atomic 5K well enough on music (mechanically), and does high 48's to low 49's.

 

That all being said, if you don't have room for a larger box, just say so, because if youre breaking subs, you should lrn2 subsonic filter, or lrn2 recone with better parts. bigger box = louder all things equal.

This box did 148.8 with 3 12's, 148.6 after I covered up the 3rd hole and just went with 2. Both @ 36-38hz IIRC. It would likely gain if I bothered to double-wall the sides. I think it flexes a good bit as/is
 
Dc subs, lots of power and low tuning = dead soft parts. You are going to have to sacrifice the lows on that power in a big box with those subs. Nice motors and cooling but, the soft parts will go down the drain...

They don't break in spec boxes. Which is 1.5 cubes. That's why I ran DC from the beginning. I've never had a ton of space to give up. Getting the same thing in 3 cubes as 5 is a win.
