    why two 12s??

    What kind of box????

    How much room??

    Don't buy prefabs...build your own for less than a fraction and have better sound and output

    for that much you could probably do better than jvc for a head unit. That part is kind of important lol.

    2 12"s cause i like the lower deeper bass . . . need 1.5 per chamber for the subs i have selected, diamond d3. I don't have the time or tools needed to build my own box and accually would love to find a down firing slot ported box for the hatch. would help to protect the subs as well as hide the a bit. The JVC HU i like cause i have owned a couple JVC units in the past and was really happy with them.

    1 12 can get just as deep as two,but if its shear output then if you want 2 then get 2.

    azn runs 1 sub as do i and both get very loud.it could also save you some cash.i'm sure thats what he may have been getting at.

    1 sub in the right box can sound as good as 2.myL5 10in kicker gets as loud as my friends 2 pioneer 12's in a prefab box with 1/3 the power he's running.i have around 240ish from the rear channels of my PG 4ch.my friend has a 2ch hifonics 1600 brutis running at 1ohm.

    For the cost of a prefab and another sub...you can prolly find a carpenter in your area or a local shop to build you a ported box. We can even give you the designs. How much is this Diamond sub costing you.

    With a custom box you can do alot. My old JL 15W4 with 300 rms watts is louder than my friends two Alpine Type X 12s with 2000 watts rms coming from two MRD-1005s and he even has another battery in the back.

    You can even EASILY carpet your box by watching these two videos

    I have a JVC head unit. They aren't that bad. I'm really enjoying mine!

    Everyone will tell you here that its all in the box. If you have a a crappy prefab box then no sub in the world will sound good in it but if you have a crappy sub in an awesome box then that's a different story...

    I would suggest that you go around to some local car audio places. I'm sure you can have one custom made and just carpet it yourself like Azn said. I'm know the guys here on the forum would be more than willing to help you out with the design of your box.

    looks like an ebay box, they are good but you have to match the specs.

    electrolytic is right, the specs of your box has to match that of your sub. If it doesn't then it wouldn't sound good.

    without knowing the tuning frequency of that box I can't tell you how it will sound...Crap boxes like that ebay one is still not a quality box IMO

    I don't see anywhere on that site that states that it is an Audio Enhancer's box
