depends on how much louder you want it. id model it up in WinISD and see what you get

id try different box sizes, more subs, different size subs etc

What Model XFL 12? the 1244 or 1222? What is the Taramps lowest ohm rating at ? Is it a 1ohm stable or 2 ohm stable or 4 ohm stable amplifier?

What Vehicle do you have? Have you done the Big 3 or any other Electrical upgrades other than just Plane Stock Alternator and under the hood Normal Lead Battery? What size is tour Supply wiring to the sub amplifier? Are you running a stock HU with an LOC or do you have an aftermarket HU? What size is the enclosure you have now and what is it tuned too? How is the box laid out and subwoofer to port location, and set inside the trunk space?
