What do you recommend for a combination of SQ and output?

1. 2 Mags in 1 cu ft a piece?
2. 4 BM's in .5 cu ft each?
3. 4 Mags in .5 cu ft each, and man up for a second sub amp to have 2000 watts on tap?
0.5 cubes is almost too small for a Mag. I mean, that's TINY. The Mag's work the best in enclosures in the 0.8 to 1.2 cubic feet area - more specifically, 1 cubic foot dead even. But 0.8 stuffed with 1 lb of polyfill is also a good enclosure size b/c it equals out to 1 cube.

It really depends on what you're after. There's already a post on this forum about your question (about 2 or 4 BM's and what the advantages are of each). If you want 4 subs, go with BM's. If you want a pair of 12's, go with Mags.

Here's the post that answers your question: http://stereointegrity.com/forums/sh...?p=423#post423 ...wait a minute, that's page 1 of this thread.
