Sub recommendation for my amp

Its output will increase with a correctly designed ported box. Talk to @RAM_Designs, who posted earlier in this thread. He can design a box for the Havoc or any other sub you want. I have seen some of his designs and they look really good. Looks like you are leaning towards a single sub now, so it should be down to the SSA Icon or the AA Havoc. You can compare both here.

I'm pretty set on the Havoc. I've been reading all day about them and I've read great reviews on them. Since I'm just going to do one sub, I think the Havoc is rated for more watts which I think will match up well with my amp. I think the ported box is the way to go too. I read it doesn't perform as well in a sealed box. I'm thinking around 2-2.5 cubes will be good. You guys have been great. Appreciate the help.

 
Sorry for all the questions. I did some measurements on my truck and did the calculations. I've come up with a box that will be 18" in depth, 24.3" in width and 16" high (that comes out to 2.502 cubes). If I can keep it under 16 inches, it won't come up to the window or I can just get a cargo cover so it's not in the open. I plan to get my back windows tinted again to help this. With a 12" sub, that leaves 2" on the top and bottom. Not sure if that is enough or not. I've never built a box before. The recommended size is 2.0 to 2.5 cubes so I think this design will work. The other thing is how to tune it. I know nothing about Hz. How should I have the box tuned? Do you think 2.5 cubes is large enough for one Havoc 12? It actual looked smaller than I thought it would so I could see giving up more space if needed. I think now I just need to get the tuning figured out. I listen to mostly rap and rock but I like the old school hip hop with deep bass. It will be a ported box.

Anyways, my questions are is 2.5 cubes good enough? Is 16" tall enough for a 12" speaker? Can I go smaller and still get the same quality? What Hz should I tune the box to?

 
also have to put in space for port area and sub displacement. come out to tampa and have bassheads build you a box for my sub and you will be very happy.
