What enclosure + amp for this sub?

I'm getting two JL Audio 12W3 V2 - 12" Subwoofer Dual 4/2/6
http://www.infinitecaraudio.com/cgi-...talogno=12W3V2

What enclosure should I get? It'd have to be dual.

What amp should I get?



Thanks!

You shouldn't get an enclosure. You should get some MDF and build one.

If you want to go the simple route, build a 3 cubic foot enclosure. Common chamber (no divider) sealed. I'd reccomend against any manner of prefab, because they're very poorly built, and expensive.
To suggest an amp, I'm going to need to know which sub you're purchasing... are you getting the dual 4, the dual 2, or the dual 6?

I'd suggest the dual 2's so that you can run a 2 ohm final load, which will get whichever amp you purchase kicking out some power, but should still be stable enough for daily driving. But really the choice is yours. Let me know of a decision, and I'll suggest an amp.

Get a ported enclosure..... Or if your going for show... Just get fiberglass mounts... Like free air prolly... I would suggest Rockford Fosgate or Crossfire or JL audio amps.. I know its expensive, but its cool...

tight bass sealed small box. boomy bass port and larer enclosure. i am using a sony xplod on two mmatts down to 1 ohm at 1200 watts rms. no probs and plenty of bass. i would recoemnd kenwood for amps or JBL. ALPINE is also good but really clean and hard to get to boom. just my 2 cents

i'll also have to agree with hank here. build your own enclosure. a good amp for those would probably be the JBL 600.1. you can get it at www.ikesound.com for under 200 bucks i think, or somewhere around that. good amp, cheap price.
