    Will probably work but will not sound that good..box is too small.. the 12w6 will work best at 1.5-1.75 cu ft box...

    also if you plan to get a single 12w6, make sure your amp will be able to handle a dual 6ohm sub... sayang lang amp if you wire the sub in series

    Thanks Beefy

    How will I compute for that ba? Here is the published specs of the amp - 85w x 4 * 4ohms, 250w x 2 * 2ohms

    R u sure 250 x 2 * 2ohms yan? Baka 250 x 2 * 4ohms.. I doubt kung kaya bumaba ng 2 ohms bridge yan.. only 4 channel amp that I've encountered that can go down to 2 ohms bridged (1 ohm stereo) is soundstream

    For a single 12w6
    parallel wiring = 3ohms
    series wiring = 12 ohms

    According to my JL catalog the recomended sealed enclosure for 12W6 is 1.25 cu.ft. and 2.00 cu.ft. for ported.

    Most amp. are 4-8 ohms stable, its better to get a mono amp (most 2 ohm stable) and wire it parallel (3 ohms).;)

    The recommended spec by the manufacturer is not always the best... I've heard a w6 play better in larger sealed enclosures... the bigger the better... but up to 3.71cu ft only for sealed to get a qtc of .707
