1. can you build me a box for 1 12? how much would you charge?

2. would my sub be able to handle the 850 watts from my kicker amp?
i'm pretty sure this is the exact model i have.
Amazon.com: PIONEER TS-W306DVC 12" Car Subwoofer: Electronics

also, i want to change my rear speakers since they are blown, again without spending too much money. what would you recommend for rear fill 6.5"s that don't cost too much.

i'm not going for super SQ or SPL sound here... i just want decent sounding music that can get decently loud (or loud enough to cover up my exhaust note)

One more thing...
i used to be way more into car audio before when i first put this system into my car so i'm kinda confused how I have my subs/amp wired.

It says the subs are DVC 4 ohm which would mean each sub can be 2 or 8 ohms (series/parallel). I'm almost certain that I have each sub wired in Parallel which would make it 2 ohms, then the 2 subs wired in series to make it a 4 ohm final. then i have the 2 channels on the amp bridged which would means it is putting out 850 x 1 watts @ 4ohms (bridged mode) sending each sub 425 watts. does that sound right?

now onto my first question, if i wanted to downgrade to 1 12" sub, it would be either 2 or 8ohms. i don't think the kicker amp i have can run at 8 ohms so it would be 2 ohms, but then again, i'm not sure the amp can run bridged at 2 ohms. how would i wire it? (if it's even possible)
do u want a special kind of box made or would like to purchase a premade enclosure for the 12. also sealed, ported, or bandpass? i got a good connect out here in santa clarita pretty cheap dood. let me know. its where i bought all my shit
