subs for a specific size

so heres the deal... got a custom box in my trunk, and its at about .85 cubic feet made specifically for my subs, 2 12" subs... wanted to know if any of you know of a specific 12" sub that is made specifically for that size enclosure, and that can handle 600+ rms watts (so i don't have to change my amp as well)... asking because my subs are getting old, and i would eventually want new ones, but imma start shopping around now...

Kicker Solo Barics... the older model that is round, not square. I don't think they make them anymore though I saw some recently, on Ebay brand new. Boston Acoustics Pro Series should work well also.

does anyone know the reccomended box size for eclipse alums or titanium 12's??? WinISD is giving me sizes around .75 cubic feet sealed...
also, the alum 12's are rated at 500rms, think they'll blow with 600 rms?

Ladlum.. is that .85 cu.ft per each sub?.. The mounting depth on the Eclipse Ti's is most certainly too deep to fit in that enclosure... Audiomobile Niche subs may work in that small an airspace...if it's .85 cu.ft per sub..then you have ALOT of good options..but you won't have much low end extansion..and bass will sound very boomy..

yep, its .85 cubic feet per sub... with the mounting depth i can always mess with it so as to build a quasi-spacer deal... also i just realized that the ti's are way outta my price range... will the auciomobile niche's take 600rms with no prob?

as of now i'm not getting anything new, its just that my subs are old and they've taken some abuse, physically and sonically, and i dont wanna get rid of the bp1200.1 and spend even more money, so i'm just shopping around for when i DO get the money...

600RMS each..no.. to the pair yes..

Eclipse alums would work beutifully in that... it would be .75 cubes net in which is their best SQ performaing volume..any mroe space they start sounding a little loose.. also Audiomobile MASS subs would work in that..

There aren't many subs that will take 600Wrms and work in .85 cubes..

because i have to sell them, and the more i can sell, the more $$$ i make, so its kinda a habit to throw their name out there (over priced for what they are, make more $$$ off of them cause of my cost and sell price), but they do perform pretty well. if you want a good speaker, v-tech hammer pros are great, and so are jl's. they hit hard, only thing is they are geared around a v-tech box (the v-techs).
