What enclosure should I get for 2 American Bass 12s. Amp kit for 1000 plus watts?

if you have a couple hundred to spend on a NICE enclosure, PM one of the forum box builders. @pro\-rabbit /

or if you are comfortable with building it yourself, hit up a designer on the forum. @Buck @RAM_Designs

Which AB 12s are you considering?

Sorry if that was answered, I didn't read the whole thread.

Possibly the TNT 1244's

What is your overall budget and what all do you need?

I would think you can find better subs then the TNT series at a better price.

yes you can get some higher powered subs ,but the amp may not move them as well ,so you may not get the output you want

Higher RMS is not always the answer. In many cases a better sub can be just put together differently and work better with the available power. I don't think the TNT series is worth the retail price to be honest.

I would think SSA or even Obsidian would be a better choice for that power. Assuming the enclosure is built well.

I could maybe suggest the lvl 3 but not the Chaos. I know your with DC, but I'm not to much of a fan to be honest.

yea, I wanted to test out some of the newer stuff...but I have not talked to Rusty or anyone in a while now..so I didn't feel like calling and pestering to get a good deal just to do some testing with haha.

That reminds me...I need to get that review up for the Cadence subs...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

My overall price range is about 1000 to 1500 dollars. I wouldn't mind having more than a 1000 watts. I just don't want to have to upgrade my electrical systems in my vehicle too much. But I am open to anything and just want a general idea of what I should be aiming for.
