for an idea. i got my amp (MA Audio M1900XE) powering 2 base kicker subs, (the yellow an black goes perfect with my car). i get good kick outta em. but somethin a little more solid would be nice and buyin new subs and a new amp isn't in the budget currently, i gotta pay for a wedding in the near future.
Dude, Alpine is still entry level, good? Eh, for the average pawn shop audio enthusiast.

If you are dying for a 10/12 just grab an older style Audiobahn for cheap on ebay. I had a pair of 12" Audiobahn Eternals back in the day that would blow you away on a 26w guitar amp.

How many people even know what that is? I didn't until I saw people talking about it on SMD and I went to google it.

Just remember you have to have 150+ posts or so to be dealing in the classifieds and people will report you if you PM them about stuff.

Correct. @33 inches wide you are not going to have much room between those fenderwells.

yea ported/bandpass are the same in my opinion. i've heard both and i still prefer a good sealed enclosure over either. just personal preference. you going to leave it as a built box or do a custom fiberglass front for it?

ported and bandpass are completely different.

As far as the box its not too wide that its not going to work but its wide enough that if it were'nt as wide than it would perform better
