What would you recommend for two Infinity KAPPA PERFECT10VQ 10" - Power Handling, RMS: 400 Watts - Power Handling, Peak: 1600 Watts - Impedance: 4 Ohms. I am installing them in the trunk of an 03 Altima.

I guess the box depends on what you want from your kappa's, but I think they were designed to work best in a small sealed box, like the older solo-barics.

I would suggest that you go with a .75-1.0 cu/ft sealed enclosure.

bberman1 - Cool. I am looking at taking on the adventure of building my own box for a change. Found a place where I can get the MDF. Any suggestions on a good website for building the type of box you are suggesting?

I used to work for Dell Computers as a Systems Engineer in their Small Business Division. Installed many servers during the dot com boom.

Thanks

Randy
