Any mobile A/V store should carry sub enclosures. They will probably also be able to custom build one (although that will obviously be more expensive). I think some people have used a box from eBay, so I'd check those possible options. Not too sure about pricing since I've always built all of mine. Maybe someone on here has more experience.

Here's the cheap box you're looking for. good terminals, good carpeting, generally good quality in my opinion. But the best of all is it fits snugly under the rear deck of the tiny A/C trunk.

i thionk he meant this...

prefab boxes are ok, but just be sure its within the space requirements for your subs...

subs operate VERY differently depending on what type of box they are in, and how much air they have in that box... this differs for every sub

Apllebonker, those subs you recommended are dual 4 ohm subs, so he's gonna have to wire them down to 2 ohms... him amp pushes 750 watts at 2 ohms.. he may blow those subs

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...l1116

This sub states 600 watts RMS, but will pound like all hell with 750 watts going to it and will definately hold up with that amount of power...

I mentioned those intentionally. Keep the gains down so they don't see more than 600 watts and they'll rock. Extra headroom is always good. Won't drive the amp to clipping. But again, the gain setting is KEY!

now you and I both know the average consumer is gonna crank that gain thinking its a bass boost... extra headroom is ALWAYS a good idea though...

I'm at odds about what to do with my system... As much as I would love another T2, I just don't want 120 lbs of subwoofer in my trunk... and I refuse to fork out $2000 for that UL12 and another $1000-$1500 for an amp that can push it

But if the average consumer reads my gain setting tuturial in the FAQ, they should be ok.

Yeah, the UL is expensive, but you should never pay that much. I think the amp did run nearly 1100 though (new w/ warranty). We'll definitely have to meet up when your in Chi and I'll let you see what it sounds like.
