i have 2 12" 9500's in a sealed box currently and would like a ported box but can only afford about 1.5cu ft of box for each sub...recommended is 2cu ft. each am i gonna notice a big sound difference between the 2 sizes?

Wrong sub buddy. He's talking about the mtx 9500, you are talking about DD

I believe it will beat but, subs are always gonna beat harder and sound louder in a bigger box.

You should be alright. You can loosely add polyfill in you box to slow down the rear wave and it can make you box perform as if it were larger. Be careful to let the port still breath though. If you add polyfill around the port opening it can start shooting the stuff out at you. Try using a spray adhesive to help control it. But you might not even need it, just build and listen then add polyfill and listen and go from there.

actually if you read the box the 12 inch 9500 from MTX is called a 9512.

I had 4 of the 12" 9500's in over a 10cft box as the rear deck as my port. WAS UNGODLY LOUD!
