is a 2x2x2 box to big for a 12 or would i need to go with a 15?

It will start to sound 'bad' when you exceed or fall below the recommended enclosure volume by much.

2x2x2 = about 8 cubic feet.
A 12" sub needs about one cubic foot.
A 15" sub needs about 2.5 cubic feet.
An 18" sub needs about 4 cubic feet.

What you have is a storage locker, not a speaker cabinet.

so for a 15 what is the optimal size box? have a bronco with no back seat so i have all the rooom in the world for a box

Each sub has it's own recommended box size and it can vary drastically. Example:

Some need less than 2 cubic feet and some need more than 4. All depends on exactly which subs you have.
 

u are stupid if u think you can just build a box any size and have it sound right, certain subs have certain airspace needs and limitation....read your owners manual stuff and you would know these kinds of things :) peace out
