[QUOTE="slammedincouch, post: 8161171, member: 620452"] Got up early before all the football and got the subs in the explorer and wired up [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/20130908_114816_zps63f66ce0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w283/slammedincouch/20130908_123341_zps51825d28.jpg[/IMG] Got about 10 minutes of play time on them and here are my impressions off of 780ish watts: -The subs sound A Lot better to me in a slot ported enclosure compared to all the space and weight I gave up for the 4th order. It just isn't worth it to me. -The subs sound great in anywhere from 4-5ft^3 per sub [B]for the 18" versions.[/B] Yet again a nice space saver for someone with stock suspension that doesn't want to sag. The enclosure and subs seem to weigh a little bit less than the lvl5 with the enclosure which is another plus. -Tried to get a variety of music going on them.
