[QUOTE="DaveDSMer, post: 2722393, member: 571598"] first of all what amp (model) are you using to power your subs so I can match up some subs for you in that enclosure. You want a sub that wants a sealed volume of around .75-1.00 cubic feet. If you get one at the higher end of that scale you can stuff some polyfill in the enclosure to compensate. Remember that when selecting 2 subs you need figure out what load you want the amp to be getting. For example, if you are using a monoblock amp that is 2ohm stable you want to get 2 single voice coil 4ohm subs or 2 dual voice coil 2ohm subs. But if you are doing this off of a 2 channel amp you will want to bridge the channels and at that point need it to see a 4ohm load. So either 2 single voice coil 2ohm subs or 2 dual voice coil 4ohm subs. Also make sure you are matching amplifier RMS to sub RMS and not Amplifier MAX to sub RMS. One more thing, check your mounting depth before buying anything. [/QUOTE]
