space too small....?

^^ How about reverse mounting the subs? Wouldn't that free up some extra space?

 

How would the sound compare?

if the sub is inverted, you gain the sub displacement amount and there has been no reported "improvement" in quality or quantity.

Unfortunately, not anymore. I have a 2002 model Punch 500s - it's underrated by a whopping 3%. Rated power 500 watts, birth sheet max power, 513 watts.

The 360.2 is quite underrated, however - you are correct. It's actually MORE powerful than the 500s - birth sheet is 539 watts max power.

But this does solidify my point somewhat - in a too-small enclosure, output generally sucks. No way should I have felt the need to crank the gains - they should've been set at halfway with great results. But even maxxed out, the sub output was crappy. All the fault of the box.

what if i seal one of the holes and just put one 12" sub? would that double the space? assuming the chambers are not separated.

Of course it would.

i would ditch the prefab and get a custom box or build yourself (you could get some back seat rasiers and get a good amount of space) and that ones is not exactly "high quility". but if your dead set on it i would go with some id subs http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com

why is everyone so against buying a pre made box? there is no way anyone could build the box i got for the price i paid for it.....
