well im planning on the jbl 1200.1 so that is around 1110 rms or something like that. so pretty much the 500 rms they are made for, and for the box i have no idea yet, im useless when it comes to building things with wood so i think i will buy a box, on the net they go for around 50 bucks on techronics.com, but im still unsure if i should buy a sealed or ported. what do you think? (i havent bought anything yet)

that amp will be good but they can handle more power. get with mike loudon and get his kicker kx1200.1 (my old amp). perfect for them and you'll get about 700wrms+ to each from that amp. and definately go ported and don't buy a prefab. either make one or have one made for you. look at the thread "anyone need a box made" or something, and get logan (think that's who) to make a box for you, tuned from about 32-35hz.

That JBL 1200.1 is underated just like the kicker. Most kicker 1200.1's bench around 1400-1450. A jbl 1200.1 should bench around 1350-1400. Very close. THe kicker may have it beat, but not by a noticiable amount. get the JBL and save a few bucks.
