I have two 12" subwoofers. I'm trying to decide which type of box to put them in that will give me the sound that I want. I would like the sound (bass) to hit very hard. My questions is, which box is better? The sealed, ported, or bandpass.

Thanks in Advance Speaker Boxes -- posted image.

They are zebras, made in Africa. Single coil, 537Watts max each. I'm going to get better subs, but want to get a package deal with the right box.

Myself, I prefer bandpass, but ported sounds good as well.

Yeah the ported box would be more suitable for that louder bass note. Sealed for a nice tight bass.

I agree about the bandpass...I forgot about your trunk space...ported.
