Ported is the way to go. With that big of subs this shit will be insanely loud with a ported box. But if you listen to a lot of rock as opposed to more rap, stick with a sealed box where the subs are also sealed from each other on the inside (if ya get what i mean).

best buy = completly shitty. Somehow they make them sound good in-house, but don't buy subs from best buy!

false. 12's have more cone area but 10's will give you tighter bass because of there faster transit time. if you go ported you'll need a lot air space. just build a box the the spec that audiobahn give

10's hit FASTER than 12's. Like he said above fast transit time = tighter cleaner bass. Big ol' 12's with their inch or more travel = slower more muddled bass. So which do you want? Nice bass that works well for rock(and everything else), or LOUD bass that works well for rap(and nothing else)?

The amp can push the subs but you'll be underpowering them to say the least. If you're going to run the subs at 2 ohms, with your 500W amp you'll get 250W to each sup. If you get 2 500W amps then you can bridge the amp and run both subs at 500W a piece.

10's=thump
12's=thump then bass
15's=pure bass.

no the amps are 500 rms times 2 which equals 500 rms for each sub so a total of 1000 rms

I work at Circuit City, and basically here is the DL. Best Buys products SUCK ASS! Basically the only thing they have that is good is a few rockfords, the good shit they dont have in the store. Never buy jensen, never buy a pioneer amp. Pioneer speakers, screens, head units are good. You want great speakers? Get Polk, Infinity, or alpine you wont regret it? You want Audiobahn? Get ONLY their single voice coil. Run a mono block amp and its nuts! You want a fuckin killer system? 2-3 Alpine Type R's, an MTX 800-1000 amp or an Alpine MRDM1000. Infinity makes a DV or DVQ series wich is so pimp. I am getting two 10" Infinity DVQ's The fuckin magnet is 9" wide all the way back!


My 2 cents
