Well, in my oppinion, if you want the punch and power of a W6, but in a
smaller enclosure, look at the Rockford Fosgate DVC line. I've seen and
heard a box with 2 DVC 12s in it that was so thin the magnet only missed
the back of the box by .5-1" and it only had about 1" clearance on all
sides of the speakers. When you can build a box that is BARELY bigger
than the speaker itself, you're doing good! And that box was in the
back of a mustang being pushed by a 250.1 and hitting 141db in a
competition. Not bad for 2 12's in a sealed box in a trunk...

DVC 12's will run you $150-200 a piece. They're dual 4ohm voice coils
too. Power handling is 800 watts peak and 400 watts RMS.

Check 'em out!
