i listen to rap, rock, techno and some country
and i mean where the subs are fully inside the box or where they are just inserted into the box
just wanted to know because i heard that for sedans one sounds better then the other and i was just wondering which one that was so i could get some

It's not a Maxima question, it's a driver question. Either pick a driver, and build the correct box for it, or choose a box design, and purchase the correct driver for it.
The box and driver combination doesn't know or care what vehicle it's installed in.

i doubt the amp truely puts out an honest 2000w. but for 200 bucks, it'll give you some bass if you're not too worried about musical clarity and what-not.

I know it's "only" 200 bucks, and must be your first sound system, but what are you trying to accomplish? You want to sound crystal clear like a music hall, or you want to beat the block down with earth shattering bass? Or a combination of the 2? I doubt that setup will accomplish either, but if you're on a strict budget and just want some bump in your ride then go ahead. May I ask what kind of amp it is?

i want clarity, with some bump, if i want it to. i already have 4 polk audio db651 and a pretty nice pioneer deck but im just missing the subs.
@mralwaiz - its some crapy amp, american something, it would have to be a temporary amp, im just wondering about the box and subs mostly

Yea well the p1s are some nice subs, you should be ok with the box, depending on the amp... since its temporary any way id say go for it. Like ascendantmax said that's a great price for a complete system, all you're missing is wires.

\They're decent budget subs. I've ran the older RF Punch Z's back in the day...similar to their current p1 lines. Now are they SQ oriented subs like my DLS? Nope. But they can add some lowend for someone looking for a cheap addition to their audio.

@ Travis, For a kicker solobaric, Ive always seen em in large ported boxes, And them slam pretty good in them... I can't get all the proper cubic feet dimensions though. Im sure its on google. As far as the difference between boxes go, i think its how it lets the sub "breathe"(somebodys gonna flame me for that) but i dont know what youd call it. One of the audio guys wil have to chime in

sealed boxes are the easiest to build IMO...and can yield the most accurate bass. you'll sacrifice some output for some accuracy.
bandpass boxes are a combination of the two boxes. it contains a sealed chamber and a ported chamber. they can be very efficient in output, but designing and constructing them can be tricky. most prefab bandpass boxes are good for output...but sucks in terms of a wide frequency response. this isn't saying that all bandpass boxes are bad...they can sound good when designed and built right.
i would go ported for your kicker L5, tuned low if you really want that deep bass. check with kicker to see their recommended air space for a ported enclosure, and have one built to spec.

ported box utilizes the back wave of the sub to help increase total output. they're generally much louder than a sealed box...and tonal characteristics can be adjusted by the port's tuning frequency.

thanks man makes a lot of sense i understand now. yea i have a bandpass box in my closet with 2 12 sonys xlpods and its really loud but not to clear. i want to get rid of my kicker and buy two twelves for my bandpass but not sure whats some good subs for that box.

Someone mentioned 2000 watt amp for 200 ducks. Yeah I am sure that is not RMS or continuos wattage rather Peak or Max watts. I would try to stay clear from them but that's me.
