[QUOTE="daboyfrumdabx, post: 7040495, member: 617760"] I'm not a huge fan of kenwood but the setup isn't too bad. The amp should push a pair of those subs nicely. I'd reconsider the box choice. Prefab enclosures are one of those things you want to stay away from but if you must go prefab....definitely go sealed IMO. It's harder to mess up a sealed box, where as a poorly designed and built ported box will sound terrible. It'll likely save you some money to go sealed also. I'd try to make sure with whatever sealed box you choose you make sure you're getting 1.25ft^3 per chamber or if you decide to go ported then 1.5ft^3 each and try to make sure it's at least made out of 3/4 inch MDF. Your choice in the end as it's your money. The ported box will get louder but in this case will sound like crap in comparison to sealed. You may be able to find someone on here to build you a basic ported box to maximize potential of those subs. An if you find everything cheap enough, you may still be able to stick to the $400 budget.
