New to the forum here just had a question... I purchased an Alpine Type X 12 inch Subwoofer and the Alpine PDX 1.1000 amplifier to put in my 03 Jetta, i was wondering what would be the best box to put this sub in since i haven't purchased one yet... ps. I'm new to car audio, does having a good deck matter when it comes to sound quality? I'm already pleased with the components as my jetta has a moonson stereo package... |

have no experience with type X so others will post later but HU IMHO is the most important part of any good quality system since its like the brain of the operation... |

yes the HU is very important. i have a golf and the moonson is pretty good for stock. after that i upgraded to a kenwood hu then an eclipse and everytime it gets better. a new set of components and speakers would do the trick if u want to spend. if ur happy with the moonson then keep it. its kinda nice to be able to put all those cds in it.
i would do 1.5 cuft if u do it sealed. the manual says .65 to 1.25,
if u want ported i would do a good 2cuft or 2.5 cuft. tuned to 34Hz |

I have not used one but everything I've read is that that sub likes a small sealed box best. I'll let someone else come on and either confirm that or fix it. |
