[QUOTE="daboyfrumdabx, post: 7167853, member: 617760"] As far as your sub setup. I think you first need to decide whether you will build your own box or not. You can get designs from guys on here but you'll have to build it or have it built. A proper design and build is what's going to maximize efficiency. Unfortunately no box you can buy as best buy is going to compare. For some people, building or having built is not an option, or not in the budget, leaving them with no choice but to go with a prefab box. What I can say is this, if you go prefab, stay with a sealed enclosure. Once again, we need to know as some subs work better in sealed enclosures so we'd want to recommend those. To be honest, if a proper box isn't in the budget, I'd get the rest of your setup and wait until you have the funds so you can do it right. I, as well as just about everyone on here, can tell you what happens when you rush. You did a smart thing by holding off and coming here. Now, if a proper box is a possibility, you need to go measure the dimensions you have available. You also need to decide how much of that space you're willing to lose. This will help us determine a sub that will work nicely in the airspace you're willing to give up. [/QUOTE]
