Hey, I'm bought a 13w7 because my 10w7 wasn't enough and to small for my JL 1000/1. But now I need a box, and I got a quote to make a box and they said it would be $400. But I think I'm going to build myself so it's much cheaper. PORTED for sure, because thats what JL recommends and I want moer SPL than SQ. I just need help,

SLOT or ROUND ports?
How do I tune box?
What should it be tuned to?
How big should box be also?

I have a cadillac deville so, no real worries on size of box, ill go as big as possible.

Help.

Before I buy that, 2 13w6's or 1 13w7?
Both ported boxes, both setups would be powered by 1 JL 1000/1. So which setup would have better...

SQ?
SPL?

On the same power with proper enclosure the two 13w6's would be louder than a single 13w7. Also the sound quality of the w6's would be better as well.

Here are the enclosure specs as recomended by JL.

One 13w7 vs. two 13w6? No contest, get the w6s. Are you sure you want to spend that much money? How much do you want to spend, there's better out there for the money?

Well heres my setup right now,

AMP - JL 1000/1
WIRE - 2 Gauge
Kinetik 1200 watt cap
140 amp alt
brand new batt under hood
upgraded batt ground

So im wanting to keep the JL 1000/1 but get new sub or subs because I blew my 10w7, and I want lots more power. I can egt a 13w7 for $400. But what else should I look into?
