I have a 2006 ram mega cab. I have a alpine mrv m500 and was wondering witch sub setup would be better to run. I have 2 swe 1043 e 10" class alpine or 1 swr1242d type r 12" alpine. The amp will push either. But im not sure if its better to go with more surface area or more power. Any help would be appreciated.

 
It is a sealed enclosure with 1.2 cf of space. Its a dual box that is seperated side to side. If went with the type r i would eventually get 2 and upgrade the amp to match. But for now on a buget i have these options. The box i was gonna order as dual 12 box and use adapter rings to do the 10s or just do the 12. So i had the option. 

 
Sealed boxes in trucks do not produce any sort of worthwhile bass and will leave you frustrated and wanting more.

1.2cf would be better suited to a pair of 8s in a ported box custom designed to your listening habits and the acoustics of your particular vehicle. 

 
The E has 250 watts RMS and R is 500 rms. the R has more Xmax. All in all the R will have the potential to get louder. 
You need to stop spreading misinformation around. I bet 20 bucks I can build a ported box for both of his 250rms 10s and with the right amount of CLEAN power, it'll be louder than the one sub he's asking about. Cone area wins.

LOL I totally misread his post. the 2 tens should be louder on same power as a 12, especially if they are in similar enclosures (both sealed or ported).

 
I do not know much about boxes. I figured i couldnt go wrong with an enclosed box vs ported. Ported have to be tuned for the subs you use and i have no idea how to determine that. Thanks for the advice. Any thing is much appreciated. 

 
Lol. And thats why i went with a sealed. I dont know enough about ported. If i can figure it out i may change it up later.
