Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 534 Registered: Jul-06 | cant borrow tools from a friend? cause the shipping is gonna be high on pretty much all boxes and most boxes arent gonna be great. |

Silver Member Username: Loc_outSanta Ana, Ca Post Number: 526 Registered: Feb-05 | I only plan on using this box until the end of the year. If you had too which one would you choose? |

Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 536 Registered: Jul-06 | the second one is about the recommened size in cuft for the w6, only .1 cuft off. probably the best bet, imo. |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 3120 Registered: Sep-05 | must be the old w6 and the last one looks like a better built box. |

Silver Member Username: Loc_outSanta Ana, Ca Post Number: 527 Registered: Feb-05 | ty mutlow yes its the old W6. So you thing the 3rd one you mean the sealed one? Anyone else? |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassIRL Post Number: 490 Registered: May-06 | Go sealed |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 3123 Registered: Sep-05 | proted you need less power,, and that is good seeing that is a dual 6 ohm leaving you with a 3 ohm load, depending on your amp, you could have an ohm issue. |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 7180 Registered: Dec-04 | I nwould go sealed Loc, I have the jl 10w6 v1's and they sound awsome sealed. Didnt you have 3 of these at one point? |
|
Silver Member Username: Loc_outSanta Ana, Ca Post Number: 531 Registered: Feb-05 | I still have all 3 James I got into a car accedint a month a good and had to sell some stuff. For now i want to hook up one sub and after Xmas i'll put all 3 back. James look at the 3rd link its a sealed enclosure. Would that be a good fit? |

Gold Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 7184 Registered: Dec-04 | logan, they all look pretty crappy bro. I would go to home depot and have them make all the cuts for you then all you have to do is screw them together, glue them, and then silicon it once it is put together. It is simple and it will sound 10x better. |
