[QUOTE="thegreatestpenn, post: 3620575, member: 582482"] SQ has more to do with the install than the sub. The sub does matter, but imaging and box-building skill is much more important IMO. Here's my example: When I had a pair of e12k44's to play with I put them in 3 different boxes. The first was a cheap prefab tuned to 40 Hz made out of particle board. They didn't sound good at all. The second box was a quality prefab made out of 3/4 mdf and tuned to 40 Hz. It got louder and sounded better than the previous prefab, but barely scratched the surface on the lows. last, I built a custom box for them out of mdf tuned to 33Hz and they were amazing. Many people criticize L7's because they hear them in a huge ported box that is built for getting loud and nothing else. When the time is put in to give a more flat, consistent response, I'm sure the sub will sound better. its not even about sealed or ported, its about involving more than just the sub and box into the equation. The vehicle must be accounted for as well [/QUOTE]
