Subs in different boxes

I have considered getting two new 12" subs as my ears has had enough of hearing my Sony xplods lol. There's nothing wrong with them to me. I just wanna hear more of the low notes so its time to move on. My situation is that i love the box that came with the subs. I was wondering if i can buy the new subs and put them in the Sony box? Thanks
 


Yes they should work. Is it a full size sub box? Also I would try and use the same screw holes

yea you should be fine to switch the subs out. i used to have a explode in my old car and i swapped it out with a kicker no problem
 
Only one way to find out is to try a different set of subs. Boxes are usually designed specifically for the subs they come with. Just throwing any subs in it can hender the performance.

That as well. But when I put my kicker in it I noticed a noticeable but good difference

All you can do is try sometimes it works just fine other times it doesn't. Worse case scenario you just have a box made for the new subs 8) I usually just have my box made specially for what sub I want to use.
 
yeah the install which would include the box is 80% of the sub system the driver itself is important but i can make a 100 dollar sub in the right box sound better then a 800 dollar sub in a crappy prefab

One of my older set ups back when I was into the audio thing.
 


whenever i see a sub box facing back all i can think of is trunk rattle. in my car i couldn't hear it in the car but outside it was horrible lol. nice setup regardless
 
look at the sub specs, in reality no box is built for other subs. subs thats a lol. buy 1 good one, trunk isnt big enough for 2 properly installed ported beasts.

could definitely fit 2 12's in a ported box. I have my fi bl in a 4.4 cube (after port and sub) box was a tight fit but got it to slide in
 


Boxes are built(most of the time) for 1 specific sub. Each sub(once again most of the time) has a different air space requirement. Boxes are easy to build.
