I listened to a ported box at a shop, and I definitely prefer sealed. I like to think of the sub as a musical instrument, that plays the low notes that the other speakers can't reach. I like feeling the bass physically too, but don't get much out of the sensation that I'm drowning in bass, and...

No, I would love to replace the door speakers, but can't justify that yet. The factory speakers are Bose, which aren't bad- better than most factory speakers I've heard, but they definitely sound shitty with the volume up. I think I can live with them for now. I just want to keep it simple...

Yeah the trunk space in the palisade is dismal when the 3rd row seats are up. Approximate space for the enclosure is 17.5” deep at base 11” deep at top 24” wide 19” tall

Hahaha good to know. Are you telling me that most EDM songs stay above 35hz to say the 10" subwoofers would be sufficient?

Yeah I think sealed is the way to go, for me, anyway. I wouldn't want to go through the trouble of making a ported box, just to find out I messed something up or didn't like the sound. I liked the sound of my last sealed box, so I think if the SI SQLs deliver more punch, that's all I'll need. I...

I emailed them and Josh told me the 10s have been discontinued, and the 12s will be available in 2-3 months! I guess they didn't get a ton of volume from the 10s.. I'm not the patient type, but at least it give me time to design the box... Maybe I'll end up making one after all.

I saw Griffin this year, and that show planted the seed that I needed a system again. Thanks for the mounting recommendations.

I'm leaning towards a Stereo Integrity SQL 12" or SQL 10" (if I can find them) Kicker CXA800.1 Mono Subwoofer Amplifier I know everyone suggested 1000W, but given I can only turn my factory stereo to 50% before it starts sounding harsh, I think 800W will be enough. Does anyone agree or is...

It seems like there's disagreement on how important the amp is, so far I'm hearing: 1) budget will do 2) spend the same amount you would on the subwoofer, 3) spend 2x the amount on the subwoofer. I'll probably go with #2. I'll listen to a ported box when I can, everyone seems to agree on...

Is the big 3 upgrade necessary for an IDMax 12 and a 1000W mono amp?

Yeah, I'm fine with it. Even iPhones are made in China. This had not occurred to me- you mean overpower in terms of volume? or some electrical phenomenon? What wattage is good to pair for a factory system? 500W? So a single RF Punch 10" P3?

Rockford Fosgate is quality brand now? I think when I did my research back then, I think people on the forums were skeptical because of new ownership or something. I can't remember though.

Ah man, lots to consider. I think I really need to experience someone's ported sub to see if I prefer that, but in general I prefer crisp beats over diffuse bass. I think I'd be ok to sacrifice half my trunk space. I can just put costco groceries on top of the box if I'm firing upward, and not...
