Personally I wouldn't use an isobaric enclosure. Sure they require less space but they also use twice as much power to achieve the same amount of sound. If you didn't see the page on sealed sub enclosures then here is the link

You're going to put 4 Perfect 12's in your mother's car? You better ask her first if she ever intends to put groceries in the trunk.

Seriously, and I'm not trying to slam you, but wait until you get your own car. Then you can do whatever you can afford...

Unless you really like the sound of an isobaric enclosure, don't do it. Use a standard sealed enclosure and it will sound better and allow the Perfect's to oeprate closer to their peak efficiency. An isobaric enclosure will allow you to build a smaller enclosure, but you will lose 9 db of spl over what two 12's in sealed anclosures will give you. Plus, isobaric enclosures are harder to build and get them "right." I'd build sealed enclosures.
