sub question................
#1
i`ve been looking around for some subs this week and here are my choices.
fosgate t1 in a custom box 2ohm
kaption clv212;2x12"dvc 2ohm
kaption 1X12" svc 4ohm.
my amp is a kaption d-700.1 the sales dude at e.h.r says my best bet is the clv212. he says for my amp 2X12" would be better than one 12 like the fosgate t1. what do you guys think?

^^definately true; here is my question: all things being equal, does 2 subs at half the power perform better than a single sub at 2x the power? My belief is yes, because they don't have to "over exert" themselves to play at a decent level. This assumes sufficient power into each of the two subs.

Unless the single sub is operating well within it's thermal barrier. If any sub is approaching it's limits, that is a different story.

Are you looking for more bass, or better bass?
2 subs in twice as big a box will certainly produce more bass, and perhaps they won't be straining as hard. However at the same price, you're likely going to get less powerful subs, or subs that don't sound as nice, or some other sacrifice.

Loud, low, or clear?
You've been to 6 shops and they don't have a demo of their custom box to show you?....Keep lookin.

If they are prefab boxes with ports that can be adjusted length wise or if you want to put your own ports in by cutting new holes, then you can tune it.
Here is how I went about setting up my subs:
1) decided on how much space I had available.
2) Used Win ISD to get a good idea of performance with that box size using all available subs within my budget.
3) based on the plots, i narrowed my decision down to top 3 subs.
4) looked at pricing, reliability, availability, specifications and cosmetics.
5) Chose the subwoofer to use.
6)Had a reputable shop build the box to my specifications and cut extra pieces of mdf for tuning should I need them.As it turned out, the box was perfect and the sound exactly as I expected.
