I like the idea of the 4080 enclosure since it dose not take a lot of space in my trunk but it dose cost almost 3x as much. Please give me some insight on both and which one you think I should go for? SPACE or $$$$??? I am kinda leaning towards $$$. I know I would have to get two subs but it would still be cheaper I am not going to go with something to big. I do daily drive my car but I don't take to much out beside when I go out of state for G/Z meets. But I can always put some of the stuff in the back seat.
Thanks

I like the look of the Z enclosures better with 2 10s but the airspace is what's holding me back. I mean most 10's out there require around .75cuft of airspace to be efficient in the low frequencies. With that said, the z enclosures only have ~.8cuft for 2 10s. Too small for optimum performance. You may be able to get away with using subs that require very small enclosures like the Image Dynamics IDQ10 but even with those that's pushing it. The 4080 box is going to be a better performer. No doubt. But if you don't necessarily have to have that deep bass that can carry for 1000 miles, then get the Z box.
But also remember, getting the 4080 box you only need 1 10 instead of 2. So if you were planning on getting something like a JL 10w6v2, then your high box investment will be compensated by the lower sub costs. Plus if you put enough power to the single 10, I bet it'll be loud enough for you.

Maybe this will help steer your decision:
as ppl mentioned b4 the zenclosure is more symetrical looking. The 4080 i thought was a bit weird with a bulge coming out of the left side. Now if you had both the driver and passenger side of the 4080 then its all good.. but with 1 side.. i decided to get the zenclosure. Keep in mind though, with the z enclosure you'll end up spending a lot more since you'll have to get 2 subs...
