    Whatsup, I'm pretty new to car audio and have a few questions about

    going in a 2000 chevy silverado single cab.

    -Kicker ZX300.1 MONO D AMP


    I've currently got them hooked up to a zx300.1 amp in some junk single boxes and they barely hit.

    I found these two pre-fab boxes and I was wondering if anyone could tell me which one would give me the best spl without losing to much sq. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Second Box: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/ele/689446645.html
    Specs for second box:

    MDF Baffle: 5/8” - 15mm
