ok I have 2 12" subs in a box..it is one box with divider ,so two enclosures..the dimensions are 4" to 8" bottom 16" tall and approx 36" long..the amp is mb acoustics 600w 2/1..in a 1992 isuzu single cab truck..now the questions:

1. is the box big enough?

2. sould the seperate enclosures be drilled( maybe a 3inch hole) between to connect?

3. should the amp be run to each speaker or parallel the spkrs and bridge the amp?

thats all for now..thx

dimensions look fine, no need to alter the box, and if they are 4 ohm subs, in parallel would make 2 ohms, bridged would make 1 ohm, so no run them in 2 channel stereo

ok what about this...i have 2 clarion 3520 amps they are 90 bridged with bass boost and low pass filters...would they do a better job, even though they are lower power?

clarion 3520 2/1 channel x/channelflex crossover plus subsonic filter..

i realize this is a pieced together system..i'm just trying to get the best sound possible here...thx again peeps

try it and see.
if the speakers are 4 ohms each you're in good shape. bridge the amps and run one for each sub.
see how it sounds. adjust gains accordingly.
