Well to me hands down these kickers are the best subs I have ever had they handle great. I have 2 fifteens on a 3000 watt amp with a 10 farad cap they hit very nice so yea awesome buy!

I have owned one terminator in a sealed box and it was pretty good but a cvr in a ported box will hit harder and lower. how much power you give them is more important. The cvr says 500 but i know it can take ~1000 daily.

You would be much louder in a ported box but cleaner in a sealed box it's what your preference is

You can Google the type of bass you want and it will give you the dimensions. For example do you want an enclosed box or ported? I have a closed box for each sub. A good area inside the box to have is 1728 in. Cubed. These subs hit hard and a little extra room I'm the box helped me. If you're looking to buy a box already made I suggest one that has internal dimensions around 12x12x12 in. Amazing subs!! Magnet is larger than your normal Walmart subs so plan accordingly on the depth of the box. Just no slim boxes. Enjoy!

I was unimpressed by it, honestly. You would definitely have better sound by purchasing a cheap Pioneer or Sony 6 or 8" subwoofer from walmart and building a custom box (1/2" MDF optimal)...cheaper and only takes ~1 hour max (added time for sealant to dry); this is what I did for the 12" subwoofers in my truck and the 8" subwoofer I have for my living room stereo. So I say don't go for it unless you have "loose" wooden floors and a good enclosed corner to place the main unit so that the acoustics of the subwoofer will be 'naturally' amplified.

I will take exact measurement for you tommorrow morning and let you know but I'm almost sure its three inches wide. I have one kicker comp r 12 inch 800 watt rms at 2 ohms with a kicker 750.1 d class 750 rms at 2 ohms and it is all I can ask for very loud and pounds harder and louder than when I had 2 Sony xplodes in a sealed box with a different amp . A kicker rep says the kicker likes ported boxes a little bigger than spec and the only other options was a little below spec size, so I rather go a little bigger than spec size. I had no problems and would recommend it. My brother has the same sub on the smaller non ported box and it still sounds great. If its close to the sub specs for ported box you will be satisfied but ill let you know the exact measurement tommorow around noon.

You will definitely get the quality sound you are looking for. I paired it with 2 kicker 10" competition subs and don't have any complaints. I would say go for it. You're welcome!

It was for me. I really like my Dayton Sub 1000 for my basement budget system. But there was too big a difference with that and my Polk PSW505 in my main system. The Sub-1200 was a big improvement. My Polk PSW505 still blows the 1200 away, but it closes the gap a bit. It's perfect for my budget system. I feel that you get a lot more subwoofer for $20 more with the 1200. If I were you though, I would get the Polk PSW505 which is on sale for $199 right now. It's a steal at that price. You do live in a studio apartment so it could be too much. With all that being said, I think the Sub-1200 is a great buy. Great sub for this price. Check out my review for more info on the Dayton Sub-1200

This is a good sturdy box. There is porting so make sure the sub you buy has nice punch. I have it paired with a RF P1 and it slams

Perfect box if you want loud, hard hitting bass. But because of how big the box is and the amount of airspace it has be careful of the frequency you run your amp on, too high and you'll blow your sub.

I have never heard the s series, but these waaaaam. All depends on your setup. I have a hifonics brx 1600.1d and it pushes my 2 12" comprs pretty hard. I'm sure the s series, if rated around the same, may sound about the same. I've noticed that my kickers hit harder than my 2 12 mtxs but the quality is a tad worse. Get a good rated box, 0 ga, and a 1600.1d for these and I guarantee you'll enjoy.

Specs can be found on MTX's page and many other sites. Look under "Specifications" or "Details" (Reference: Google) W=10", H=10", D=21.25" https://www.mtx.com/rt8pt-amplified-subwoofer-enclosure#product-details http://www.crutchfield.com/S-5EThBbuZrM0/p_236RT8PT/MTX-RT8PT.html

I have the 10" ported... sounds terrific. Deep lows, you can feel it in your chest. Sounds great with movies and music. But, after research, I believe the 12" sealed will be better for music.

Std( midgrade )sub will fit but you'll get better sound from a shallow mount sub due to inadequate air space. I have a kicker cvt in mine and it gives me great bass all around

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.

The planet audio ac4000.1D would give you the deep bass and sound that u want to perform for your 12 mtx terminator thank you Amazon......

Definitely the SA-12...I love mine and it is rated very conservatively. It's rate 600rms, but I'm throwing 1200rms at it and it takes it like a champ. I've had experience with all 3 subs and I'd say the sa-12 is the best by far, but it all depends on the box and the amp. You can make the best sub in the world sound like the worst if it's in the wrong enclosure with the wrong power. I hope that helps you.

Wow man I wish I could answer that question. I really don't know. I mean it's a $60 sub. I'd think if you're sincerely concerned about those technicalities a more expensive setup is more for your liking.

Your best bet honestly would be to go get a custom box built for this particular sub. Reason being the quality of the boxes sold here are TRASH!!!!!. Go to a shop and have them put the specs of the sub on a program and build the box for it to the specs of the sub.
