[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 7193267, member: 611275"] It's not just the amount of space dude has, it's the power he has on tap as well. Most 12" subs that're rated for 700-ish watts rms don't require this much air space. For example, Ram mentioned DC subs. I'm pretty familiar with their stuff, so I know a pair of Lvl 3 12"s will do fine on the power the OP has...but they wouldn't need anywhere near 4 cubes. If the enclosure is 4 cubes BEFORE woofer & port displacement, that's one thing. But if he has 4 cubes net AFTER all displacements, and only 1,500 watts on tap, there is no DC driver perfectly suited for his application. If he ends up with a pair of subs that doesn't need this much air space, he'll simply have to cut back on the power a little. It's not like a sub will refuse to work if it isn't installed in a perfect enclosure. It'll still make some noise... [/QUOTE]
