A box for 2 12" subs, perferably ported.

I can build you one. But first I have a few questions since you CAN NOT just randomly throw a set of speakers into a random enclosure (especially a vented/ported one) and expect it to sound good:
What kind of subs? (Make/Model/Year produced if known/Single Voice Coil or Dual Voice Coil)
How much power (what model/brand amp)?
Do you want it to be Loud/Musical?
How much space do you have to work with?
What kind of music do you typically listen too?
What kind of vehicle is it going in?
Will the amp be mounted to the box?
Are you willing to sacrifice sound quality for box size (if need be)?
Are you willing to sacrifice trunk space for optimal sound/loudness if a larger box is required?Answer those questions first and I might have a few others based on the answers

However, if you are serious about just wanting to throw them into a generic ported box and are willing to take the risk that they may not be perfect in this enclosure you can look at something like this for $135:
or this one for $150 (designed for high SPL, won't be the most musical, but should get louder than most boxes):
for $175 you can get one that is coated in line-x for the ultimate in sub box protection (another SPL specific box)
or on the more economical side you have this for $75:

Wow i had no idea so much went into effect shows how much a noob i am haha.
What kind of subs? Kicker Comps 12" 2X no idea on further info on them, unless maybe i check the back of them out, which they are in storage right now.
How much power, a 600 watt alpine amp
Do you want it to be Loud/Musical? Louder the better
How much space do you have to work with? a lot of space =p
What kind of music do you typically listen too? Techno, dubstep, then to rap
What kind of vehicle is it going in? sadly a 2000 ford tuarus
Will the amp be mounted to the box? hopefully
Are you willing to sacrifice sound quality for box size (if need be)? if needed
Are you willing to sacrifice trunk space for optimal sound/loudness if a larger box is required? yes -
Chuck's the man, heed his advice and it will blow your mind how much better things can be.

Unsure of your model exactly since Kicker has literally dozens of Kicker Comp 12" subs over the years. I used the Comp VX series 12" w/ dual 4 ohm coils. Here is a computer analysis of the frequency response and suggested box size based on your criteria.

Oh... and I threw in a cut sheet in case you wanted to build it yourself. Remember to use plenty of glue and caulking to seal the joints, ESPECIALLY in a vented enclosure.
