sorry to keep pestering everybody
i have just bought a pair of alpine swe - 1243e 12 inch 800w subwoofers
and i was just wondering what the perfect size would be for a box i have how many litres they operate at well but i dont know how 2 calculate it into sizes :( :( :( :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
and what is better ported or not???

A Ported box is a right pain in the ass to set up properly as most "off the shelf ones" are tuned around 40hz, which sounds really boomy and crap.

In a car the size of a C2 I think you'd be better off with a sealed box unless you want it really loud then go for the ported but be prepared for it to sound terrible and make any loose trim fall off :lol:

Whoever you got the subs off should tell you what size box you need, although looking at a package on a website, the sub box they're selling with those subs looks like a standard 12" box, so either go for 2 singles or 1 double 12 - double 12 will fit, theres one in my boot :wink: .

Dont forget to put some sound deadening material in the car as well.
