Default What would sound better??

Im debating on what kind of speaker box to put on my 00'z. Im debating between a single 12" probox that I've seen on their website or a dual 12" box. What would you guys recommend me?

Aren't you going to lose your t tops either way? If you want some good deep down bass, 9 out of 10 times 2 12s will always beat 1 12

Louder, most likely, but not any better.

For a sealed enclosure go with the largest cu.ft. of recommended air space for the sub/s you buy that will fit in your selected sub location. For a ported enclosure you'll want port large enough to avoid port huffing, but tuned lower than 40hz so it's not boomy. As far as the enclosure size go only large enough for the frequency response you're looking for. So since a smaller ported enclosure will have cleaner sound than a larger ported enclosure.

I ran 2-12's in a sealed box without losing my t-top slots... and I could still see out of the rear glass..they put out 145 db's, so it was plenty of boom.

Well I want it to sound good but also look nice and clean. At the moment I have a box in the back that just doenst belong there. I have a single 12 superbass box with a memphis speaker and a 2100w brutus.
