[QUOTE="JonStoltz, post: 8345086, member: 662872"] Thanks for all the help guys! Lots of options to choose from now, including a PM recommending Zapco. Though according to the following statement I quoted from the same website I quoted earlier, the HDS312's would prefer a sealed enclosure since they have an EBP of 40 or 45. Right? And right now my alt and batt are stock which I know isn't enough for this much power. "The first thing to look at is the Efficiency Bandwidth Product for this driver. The EBP can aid you in selecting the proper enclosure for any speaker. To get this, we use the following equation: EBP = Fs / Qes = 43 / 0.352 = 122 An EBP of 122 is indicative of a speaker best used in a ported enclosure. If the EBP had been lower, say between 50 and 90, you would get decent performance in a variety of enclosures - a "Jack-of-all-Trades" driver. EBP below 50 are generally best for sealed boxes. Don't misunderstand, you can put any driver into any enclosure, but you might be disappointed with the results. EBP is simply a guide, however, and good performance has been attained with drivers seemingly unsuited to a particular application." [/QUOTE]
