Need help picking out an enclosure

[JPx7 1]

Hi.. this is my first build so i have little experience right now. Im getting 1 ICON 12 with either an AQ1200 or an AP1500 amp. I drive a 2000 jetta, the trunk is about 40 inches wide. I am not really sure what type of enclosure i need, the specifications for it, or where to get one so any help would be nice.

Thanks for narrowing that down. Perhaps a more generic answer would get us even further.

Basically you've told us nothing we can go on yet, if you need help understanding what we need there are a few links in my signature that will help

I listen to rap, hip hop, dubsteb, tenchno music mostly... I want the system to be pretty loud but sound quality is important to me... like i said i am new to this so i guess im asking what are the different types of enclosures i have to pick from, what is going to be the best for me or the most popular one used, and where can i have one made or buy one from and how much will it cost.

Not at all, I want you to describe what you want WITHOUT using terminology like SPL or SQ. Again a read through the links would have made this OBVIOUS. I'll give you a hint, you'd hate an SQ setup.

Still not exactly sure what you want but il give it another try...

I want to get loud.. I want it to piss people off... I want it to impress people... but I don't want it so loud that it overshadows the rest of the song. I want to be able to feel the airflow but I've seen videos of the subbs shaking the front windsheild etc. and that isn't something that I'm interested in. Not sure if that is enough description but it is all I know right now because I am not 100% sure about what I want right now.

Hi.. this is my first build so i have little experience right now. Im getting 1 ICON 12 with either an AQ1200 or an AP1500 amp. I drive a 2000 jetta, the trunk is about 40 inches wide. I am not really sure what type of enclosure i need, the specifications for it, or where to get one so any help would be nice.

Go to the tech tab at the top of the website. The tech section has recommended enclosures for each subwoofer. I would recommend a ported enclosure for your 12" Icon. Make sure you have google sketchup downloaded so you can open the file. If I had to pick between those two amplifiers I would go with the Audioque.

No problem if you go to the Team SSA section and look through my build log (2003 Dodge Durango), you will see I did a box for a single 12" Icon. Its in the first few pages. The specs are close to recommended.

Do your seats fold down at all?

That isn't SQ and it isn't cool. Being a social menace is not acceptable.

Never noticed that quote, glad I never offered any advice...

Yea they fold down

I think you should deaden your trunk, a lot.

Then use a sealed enclosure, and fire directly into the rear seats, preferably leave about an inch between the driver and the seat.

That works best in your scenario.
