Tocatta and Little Fugue in G Minor was written by JS Bach, for the record.

...and I don't mean the hair farmer from that 80s band.

The problem with bandpass boxes is, any distortion in the system gets burried in the box. You'll blow your sub before you know there's something wrong. More than likely anyway. They're trick and don't sound very good. Stick with a regular ported enclosure tuned to about 40hz. I'm currently running about 300 WRMS to both my 10" L7 solobarics and it's enough to make you nautious after a while.

My ported kicker box rocks. I built it myself though. It's huge. got the plans from their secret tech site. lol. Maybe its not so secret, either way, with only 300 WRSM running my two 10s, it's been pretty good. I can't wait to bump up to that 1,500 watt amp and see what they can really do.

at circut city they have the loaded kicker box with two 12" CVR's. They have a really good warrenty for fairly cheap. but the box is on kicker.com then im going to hook them up to the kicker 1200.1 and my dad is getting me a new alternator for an early christmas

Hey airforce?...what size is your box? I also have an L7 in a ported box. 2.3 cu.ft. tuned to 38.

As for that loaded box, is it ported or sealed...ur post is kinda confusing. Also, i wouldnt recommend pushing CVR's with the 1200.1, its a little too much for them.

I don't remember exactly but around 5 cu.ft. It's built to specs per stillwater. The port was a serious pain. The box takes up the entire back of my Cherokee. That's why, when I rebuild the system, I'm going back to small sealed enclosures. I want my rig back. :)
