Outside the box, as long as the subs are in close proximity of each other.

literally over the weekend we did a sound off between my 12w7 in a ported box powered by a HD 750 and my friends 2 12w3's in a sealed box powered by a 500/1, needless to say my system was not significantly louder and without a dought if he had a ported box his would have been WAYYYY louder

750 has much better SQ than 1000. I'd just buy another 750.

Awww, ya I forgot about the single 3ohm coil. Your right 1000/1 is perfect match!! Or just get the 750 working properly.

if only i could get my hands on a reasonably priced HD1200/1, that would really rock my car but back to the discussion i would stay with 2 12w3's in retrospect i would have loved to run a dual setup but i was too much trunk space 2 12w3's pound!!!!
