| Type X subs are very nice sounding subs, as long as you put them into a properly tuned and properly built ported box, you should get a good amount of spl and good sounding bass. 2.0cu ft should be good, depends on how you want the box too look like, such as a cube, wedge, etc.

| Yes, 2cu ft is the internal volume (not counting the box).

| well i think sealed is a better choice, mainly because the Type-X is a sq oriented woofer, and because you could use the box building practice. | |

Also put the type X in a sealed box.... i like the sound of them in a sealed box
