Default Amp wiring/Speaker box

Ok so i've got a Audiobahn amp with
100 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
200 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
400 watts RMS x 1 bridged output
and 2 10" subs one is is a nice 1000watt rms sub the other one is a OK walmart sub. What would be the best box size for me to put these in. And how would I hook them up.

you have a 1000 watt rms 10" sub? what kind is it?

from what you said you won't be able to hook both those up to the amp you have. hopefully you got a number wrong on your rms lol. 1000 is pretty intense. to run both subs off on amp and have it sound good you would need for them to fall into the numbers of the amp

whats the rms on the walmart one? brand? max power? ohms?
same for the good one

the bigger the magnet the bigger the box for the most part. but you are dealing with 10s so you won't have to have a monstrous box. you might wanna look up the air dimensions for the subs (on the box if you have it) and then go from there. (trying to get a very high powered sub and a low powered sub into one box won't work unless its a two chambered box.)

get a little more info and i can probably help you a little more

The Type-X 10s have a 1000W RMS rating. 1 Good sub will sound better than one good sub and one sh*tty sub. Just run the nice one. Louder does not equal better sounding. People will probably laugh at you if it sounds sh*tty.

it would probably be best to just run one sub, and maybe try to get a matching one later. Also, if you had two of the infinities, a bigger amp would be nice.

Well I think I just blew the infinity. It makes a crackling noise and it is kinda like a smoke machine.

So those specs I put up fo the jensen. The normal output power should match the amps rms right. And the speaker Input Impedance is 4 Ohms then the amp will push 200 watts right.

This is the jensen. What do you think about the size of the box. Should it be bigger/Smaller different shape?

that amp should be plenty for that sub... i wouldnt run it maxed out to much though.

as for the box...
i dont know about the size of ur box off hand... what is the recommended enclosure size in cubic ft... in inches???

but that box looks about the right size, if anything make it bigger... and as far as shape, that will work, as long as it fits in your truck like you want it to it doesnt matter to much. i personally prefer downfiring boxes as far as sound goes though.

what does it sound like? that is gonna be the real test as far as your box.. and also check your box for leaks. it looks like u have it pretty good though

Looks good... prolly gonna wanna cover it in something

Yeah I used pure silicone to seal all the cracks. It sounds like the box is to small I don't know what that sounds like. I just know some of my friends have boxes that are square and may have a little bit more air space that hit and rattle everything around them. But mine I can't evan hear it outside my truck. And what is all this about ported boxes is that just for bigger setups.
