there is only one type of box that the sony xplode subs do very well in. That's the garbage bin box.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but in general its best to put forth a little effort first. Go find your sub specs, then go to one of the many online calculators and play around.

Once you get something done there are many people here that would offer you suggestions or corrections to optimize it.

Cheers

Well, at least post the model number, then we can go find the parameters of the sub.

Then you have to decide whether you want a ported box, or a sealed box. They do different things and normally a sub will perform better in one than the other...some reading for you

Then let us know how much power you are putting to it (amplifier make & model).

alright the modle num is xs-l104o5b and im putting 600 watts to it with a dual audio amp xpa4100

That sub takes 300 WRms. It wants a sealed box.

SEALED ENCLOSURE VOL. (NET CU. FT.): 0.93

Hmm, the amp is 4 channel, so all you can do bridge the rear channels. That will give you 150 WRms.

well i just picked up a mtx 12" sub i just dont no what series it is and it came in a bass works box

Take the sub out of the enclosure so you can tell us what the model number is. Then we can go from there. There are a few design elements that are critical when trying to match subs up to an amplifier. You need to know the RMS rating, and whether they are single or dual voice coil, and what the impedance of those coils are.
At least determine the model number of the actual woofer, and we'll go from there.

The box doesn't mean too much right now. If you're grossly under-powering the sub with that amp, the box isn't going to help make it sound any better.
