Sub suggestions?

[RoachForLife 10+ year member]

So Im doing my first setup and a little unsure if this will work well. Heres the specs

Alpine PDX 1.1000 (I believe these tend to be like 1200w rms)

Dual 12" box, each chamber has like 1.1cu ft ( http://cgi.ebay.com/DUAL-12-SEALED-MDF-SUB-ENCLOSURE-CAR-SUBWOOFER-BOX-new_W0QQitemZ150276308450QQihZ005QQcategoryZ50566QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ) for exact box

Looking at 2 JL W6v2s or IDQv3s. Not sure if I should be looking at other subs based on the amp I have.

Please advise

Thanks

Mach 5 IXL 12 and the Stereo Integrity Mag D2 v4 come immediately to mind.

better make sure if its 3/4" or 5/8" MDF.... looks pretty thin... 5/8" FTL!

Yeh, pretty sure its 5/8 though.

Youre saying 1/8" makes that much diff?

I bought a 2 cu ft box tuned to 32hz from that place and it was a great box. I found that ebay sellers products to be well made.

re mx or xxx LOL

no one like the IDQ or JL W6 I see...

Find someone local to you who will build you a real box, i can almost gaurantee you can get a custom box made for your subs for less than $95.

Mach 5 IXL or IDQV3 gets moy vote..

This box is decent:

Boston G5 or idqv3 gets my vote on that power.

12w6 is a fine speaker, just the price and it wants a

little more than 1 cube gross I believe.

The other option I have is one 12" with the same amp. Thoughts?

I have a 1cu ft box already

idmax or icon or re mx($$) or even Alpine type X or si mag.

in general though, 2 12s would have more SPL than a single 12" with the same power going to them... I suppose a single woofer would be slightly cheaper (and weigh less)

I'd go with my first suggestion over a single 12.
