Yes I meant ported, or vented I should say. His box is a cheap pre-fab box I think it's 1.65ft^3 which is smaller than recommended. And I don't know what it is tuned to that's the part of car audio I don't understand or know how to check. When I say sounds worse I mean it's not as crisp as...

I like it, nice job!

Thanks! I appreciate it! I was hard on myself for the carpeting job because I did a bad job in the spots that you can't see(which isn't a big deal), but the seams are a little more visible in person. And as far as the two ported 10's vs the sealed 12's I would do that with the hindsight I have...

Thanks! I'm liking the outcome so far. When I turn down the bass on the head unit, it has very good sound quality and no distortions in the speakers when it is very loud. The subs also have a are pretty loud, they pick up the lows and highs pretty good. I think it suits what I was looking...

Here are some pictures of the box with the seat in, everything completed.

, Ya I don't think there is a loop hole around this one. It's not that big of a deal, I got all the tint off, the tail lights look really bad though. Having no tint of the front window stinks though, and its really dumb because I see police cruisers with tint on the front windows driving...

You can get one for not having any with a certain size tire. I don't know if I have to have mudflaps but I've been told by people that a cop could write a fix it for no mud-flaps

Ya no tint is legal on front windows here in CA. And ya cops get you for anything in OC, I almost always roll down the window when I get pulled over or see a cop, but my dad was driving my truck and didn't think about doing that. The tail lights looks nice tinted in my opinion, but I can live...

Well I have unfortunate news, I switch cars with my dad and he gets a fix it ticket for the windows, tail lights, and headlights . Now, I can live with out tinted tail lights, but the windows I really enjoy having tinted. I understand a ticket for the tail lights, but the windows and the front...

Thanks, I might upgrade the hu in the future, but for now it works. I haven't had any problems with it, however I would like a usb input. Front door speakers won't be upgraded unless they blow, which they most likely will in a long time, but for now they work and I have college to focus on so...

Yeah I most likely will not build my own box again, it was a lot of work, and I think by the time I do another build (long ways away) I will have the money to just buy a pre-fab box. I like your build, because its realistic and economical in that it doesn't compromise space inside your car, and...

Looking forward to seeing it. I might be attempting the led thing, not for a while though because I'm heading back to school soon.

My head unit is a Valor IDA-700W, a 7" flip up dvd player with an auxiliary input. Up front I have some cheep 6.5" kenwood components (it was free and they have an 80rms rating so I'm not complaining), in the rear I have 5.25 Image Dynamics components with the crossovers, powering the speakers...

Haha lol I'm going to try to not let that happen, but it somewhat already has, I was thinking the after I tuned it, what if I found another pdx 1.1000, that way I would be able to have plenty of power for both subs. For now though, I think I'm satisfied with the car audio aspect. There are...

Thanks! As far as listening goes, its loud. It has clean crisp bass, and it does pretty well picking up the lows for a sealed enclosure. I really like the sound quality overall of the install, I was able to tune the amps so now the speakers aren't taking any of the lows, just the mids and...
