buy a box...or build one for cheaper ten buying a premade box. If you build a box then you can create it to have the optimal volumetric space needed for those subs. Being 1000watt subs and 12" I am guessing they are going to want about 1.5 to 1.75 cubic feet of volume a piece. Pre fabbed boxes only sport maybe 1 cubic foot of air. The subs won't sound as good.

Stay away from baffleboards. They give the subs a seriously hollow sound as you will have air leaks due to the enclosure not being completely enclosed.

MDF is fairly cheap, building your own box isn't too hard. Just do it piece by piece. Thats how I built mine.
