[QUOTE="Alex JB, post: 5544804, member: 602795"] Take a look at the thread I posted about the response of my 2 sundown E8's [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=379353"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=379353[/URL] take the same space and go from a tuned ported set up to a sealed enclosure and the curve is very different. If you want loud and don't care about where in the freq range you could probably port your available space to 35-40Hz and make a lot of noise... Bewarethough that whatever you play below the tuning frequency can damage the subs (over excursion) if you are over zealous with the volume. I liked the loudness of my ported enclosure for about 10 mins then I missed the low frequency extension that sealed gave me (below the tune freq I had of 32-34Hz) so I've gone back to sealed for now.
