I am looking into purchasing a pair of these subs and wanted to know what size box I would need for a ported and sealed setup (estimated). I have a 1994 mustang and am removing the back seat to install the subs. However, I would still like to retain a little trunk space. Additionally, how much tighter will the bass sound with a sealed box and how will it affect loudness compared to the ported enclosure? I know a sealed box is not as loud but cleaner but are we talking a huge difference assuming the same amp? I do listen to a lot of hip hop but my overall taste in music leans toward a clean sounding system (SQ side) that I can boom when I get the urge. I guess this brings me to another question...are the titaniums even the best choice of sub for this application?

about 1.6 cubic feet and 600w rms will do the job very well

Just put them in a sealed box. Ported boxes are very boomy and not accurate. They have about a 3 dB increase over sealed boxes but that is only at certain frequencies. Also a sealed box hits lower. A ported box also takes up more space than a sealed box.

I also wanted to get an amp to push these that is in line with the high quality subs...would the JBL 1200 .1 do the trick or should I go with a brand like JL, Zapco, US Amps, etc?

A JBL 1200.1 would push them fine.

I have been looking into (2) ID MAX 12s because I can get them cheaper, will the JBL 1200.1 power them?
