[QUOTE="Ummagawd, post: 8802591, member: 686344"] I have a Stelvio (so hatch style open air into the trunk). I’ve already tried replacing the factory 8” with the above sub and while it actually sounds quite good (shockingly good), I find that I’m wanting more volume when I’m driving 40+mph. I listen to hip-hop and EDM, so the low extensions/accuracy are important. Finally, I’ll say that I did come from a 10w7 in HO slot ported box, and I get that I’m probably a bit spoiled. But I got into the stelvio because I need the cargo space (also why I tried upgrading factory sun first). So now I’m willing to put a SMALL box in the cargo, with the intent of being able to move it around (or just take it out) when needed. My first thought is to put the 8w3v3 into a LAB [slapbox](https://www.lifeafterbass.com/labsl0ftpomd4.html) My second thought is a 10w7 in a sealed enclosure taking up 14.75x14.75x15.75, that I found someone selling locally for a very reasonable price. Both would be powered by NVX BDA7051 (the same amp I powered my previous 10w7). If I can get away with the 8w3 in that LAB box, I’d prefer that as it’s more manageable. But I’m also scared that it still won’t be enough, and that I should just get that 10w7 and KNOW it’ll be good. [/QUOTE]
