Default Which one of these sub setups should I go with?

Should I go with the Kicker VS12L5 loaded enclosure pictured here



or should I go with a seperate Kicker 12" L5 and this box (KPL12S) pictured here made for a L5

Please don't post the "go with this sub instead it's better blah blah blah" Does anyone have the loaded Kicker enclosure? I can get either setup super cheap through work so just wondering if anyone has had any experience with it?

Which ever is cheaper I'd say and if they're around the same go with the smaller box... also you might wanna bump up to the L7... I know you said don't post to go with another sub but its a better performing sub for little more money.

Go with the AudioFormz enclosure:



It is very high quality and you retain your trunk. It comes with all the hardware for the install...all you'll need is the actual sub-woofer.

Hmm... round hole square peg. I guess someone didn't pay attention in pre-school. About upgrading to the L7, the amp I am running is a JBL BP600.1 which puts out 600 watts at 2 ohm and I am afraid it won't push an L7. The only reason I was considering the Kicker loaded enclosure was since it was a kicker sub and box it was probably right on the money as far as right specs for the sub since it is their sub ya know. By the way this is not for my xB anyway. It is for my wifes Protege 5. I need to get a new sub in there.

I would go with the box that kicker made, They kind of know what box size will make the sub sound the best. The other box, is most likely going to be over/undersized for the sub.
