4th Order or a wall? - Need Opinions!!!

[Purplehaze]

Okay, so I want to build a 4th order bandpass for my 2 12" L5's in a 2002 PT Cruiser. I have done several sealed boxes, a couple of ported, but this is my first bandpass build. I owned a bandpass years ago, and have wanted to do one ever since. So now the time has come.

Here is what I have to work with:

2 - 12" Kicker Solo L5 D2

1 - 2010 Kicker ZX1000.1 = "1244 birth sheet"

Big Three 1/0 = DONE

2 - Kinetik HC1400 = DONE

190a LoadBoss = DONE

Hushmat Pro 60+ sq ft

Plus components, DVD, etc.

Plan is to take out the backseats, so I have a lot of room. I wanted something where I can see the subs doin work, but still get optimal performance.

Measurements are roughly 35" width, up to 35" length, and probably no taller than 20" in height. Preferably around 18", but can do more.

So, if anyone is interested in helping me design a good setup, I'd really, really appreciate it!

Edit

My son and a few friends all think I should double up on subs and amps, and do a wall. What do u think?

1.6 cube sealed each, 3.2 porter after displacements

DAMN!! isn´t that too big dwright? he has small power tho, but wouldn´t that thing play too low even with a high tuning on the ported chamber?

Okay, so you're saying do separate sealed chambers for each sub, w/ the single ported up front? 2 sealed and 1 ported?

That's what I was originally thinkin

Yeah, I want the lows of course, but nothing my subs can't handle. And what ratio would you think sounds better?

[Purplehaze]

fecupe2001 brought up a good point. I am on tiny power(1244rms), maybe I am chasing something the wrong way? Trying to do too much w/not enough?

My son is totally against a 4th order, he wants me to double up and do a wall. And I think I need to learn more b4 I waste wood and time, so maybe a wall would be better for what I want. So what do you guys think, should I just hold off 4 a min, get 2 more 12's and another amp, and do a wall?

Thanks for you time guys!

Go with the 4th order I wouldn't do the wall with L5's.

Yeah, after looking at a few other walls w/ L5's, it's kinda disappointing. I think I'm almost doin better w/ what I got rt now! I may just need to re-think everything in general.

Thanks for the input!
