    if im understanding correctly, you are running 2 10s with a 700.5, which to my knowledge puts out 420rms at 2 ohms on the sub side, and you have 1.5 cu ft PER CHAMBER? im pretty sure 1.5 per chamber is a bit much for a 10..... and i really don't know if 420watts distributed to 2 subs will really make too much impact, especially when you have that big of a box.... a lot of bass would be lost before it ever transmits to the car.... i have a alpine type x 10 inch in the recommended sealed size probox and that box is only .75 cu ft and my sub is 1000rms and 3000peak... and it sounds beautiful.... sooo my suggestion is: get a smaller box (per chamber airspace) to begin with and make sure your subs are getting the wattage they need from the amp.

    1.5 total box. Both subs. It does have a divider. That would be. 75 per sub.

    Yep. 2 ohm load. Played with gain some and set it around 60hz. Some stuff sounds pretty good and some songs don't.

    bigger box is what u need... not smaller... will make them hit the low notes better but still have the high notes in a sealed box.. and more power or a ported box

    Would the box I deceived in begining with 1.75 be a wise idea with 1 12" kicker l5.? Also have my audiobahn aw100t subs, 2 of them. Or to rockford old HX2 10", 2 of them.?
