I need some dimensions for a box. There 4 ohm subs. I listen to lots of rap. Im running a power acostic 1600 watt amp / 370w rms @ 2ohm and 310rms @ 4 ohm. Thanks.

You can find the reccomended dimensions on Kicker's website.  I would suggest a ported or bandpass if you mostly/only listen to rap

I would forego the bandpass and stick to the ported enclosure... Bandpass boxes are not also called "speaker destroyers" for nothing... Unless they are properly tuned specifically to the subs and only those subs, then any distortions cannot be heard until it is too late (ie the sub is failed and damaged).

The Ported enclosures will give power to the bass notes and easier to set-up and tune properly with less work.

If you haven't bought the subs yet, I would consider going for the loaded dual cvr enclosure from Ciruit City (or wherever available to you) They are precisely tuned, ported and stuffed to give maximum impact for street bass (30-80 Hz).
