I have had sealed boxes and for the most part they were OK for everyday listening, I did have one in my old Geo with two Audiobahns that sounded pretty good. I do like bandpass boxes for some odd reason and slot ported always seem to sound good. I wish i had the money to build a few boxes and find what i like, but money is tight and my first try would be my last for a while, I would hate to invest 150$ into making a box and it sound like shit.

Thinking about selling my two twelves and upgrading to one 15 or one 18. First off my 12's are eclipse 87121.8 @ 8 ohms 300 rms each. I have a R500-1 rockford fosgate amp. What should i buy that would put these two 12's to shame but my amp could power? does 500x1 @ 2 ohms. Looking to downsize since i will be commuting more so i need less weight in my ass end.

Which subs are better?

Yeah they in a RT obcon slot ported box, they distort pretty easy, and if i remember correctly I called eclipse and they said they recommend them to be in a sealed ( they gave me box size for sealed, but when i asked about ported they didn't have any recommendations. ) -

I've heard JL's they always sounded good to me but i don't want to dump money on them if they aren't gonna be louder. -
That just seems REALLY small for a sealed box, barely big enough for my subs. I want boomy bass but i also want it to be tight and not all sloppy sounding. I listen to everything, Heavy metal, rock, rap, R&B, Techno, just want it to sound clean when listening to everything, my box now sounds good with most rap and almost all techno, but sounds like crap with Rock and heavy metal, its a R/T obcon ported box.

So i need to build a box that is .6 cuft per chamber NET. How would i determine what the gross volume is? How would i go about measuring the NET volume of a box. The Eclipse tech said that it needs to be .6ft loaded i believe. *EDIT* This is his email that he sent me. For these subs recommend is sealed enclosure for the sub is 0.6 cuft. each with the subwoofers loaded in the box so net you want it to 0.6 cuft. Ported not recommended.

I'm pretty set on Information technology right now, but i also enjoy working on cars and would love to be a certified car audio installer. Not sure if the guy that owns the only car audio shop around here went to school, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to ask him.
