Default Opinions wanted on Boxes

I currently have a JL Audio 12w3v2 in a HOBP box and wanting way more bass. I decided to use the 12w3v2 and buy another one and then buy a different box. I have been faced with the decision on two: regular bandpass box or the JL Audio HO box ( http://www.jlaudio.com/enclosures/ho212r.html ). Let me know all your opinions.

for the 2 12w3s build a custom sealed enclosure, make sure to fiberglass the inside of the sepearte chambers.

but besides that theres alot more to getting bass out of the sub, what amp you using? voltage on deck? power size? fuses? etc.

That's a myth and simply isn't true if you build the box with SQ in mind and you choose the correct woofer.
