i want to make a custom box for my saxo. could someone that knows there onions tell me what kind of box i need (ported, sealed, etc) and also what cubic feet and box volume/area i need to be looking at. im looking for quite a deep bass?

i have two 12" audiobahn subs: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_131_Audiobahn+AW1200Q+12-+High-Excursion+-AW+1200Q-.html

and my amp is: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_1651_JL+Audio+250-1.html

cant see the links? but if you still have the manual for the subs then they should tell you the optimum volume of the box, and this can be tuned for deep i think?

also ported = boomy bass
and sealed = punchy bass

someone correct me if I'm wrong
