[QUOTE="shredder2, post: 8642550, member: 674047"] That's NOT a ton of space listed...(2.1ft3 gross before displacements)... IDK... I suppose that using a round and maybe settling for a smaller volume with whichever 12" driver you choose would be an option. But too many compromises will inevitably affect the end result. If that much space is really all you're willing to give up, I'd probably do a single 10" sub as the volume will be closer to optimum and will have better (probably) response. This is an example only... not a recommendation. This is a slot ported Sa-10 enclosure that's 1.4ft3 around 15in2^ft3 just for space comparison purposes.
