[QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 5377738, member: 605446"] Hello, Just bought my first car so i'm going to be building my first system. So far I had an Alpine iva-d106 headunit installed. It's really nice, flip out tv, ipod connection and can stream videos from the ipod to the TV. sorry, small review. Anyways, I'm set on getting one alpine type x 12" sub. I have a few questions though. I've searched this forum for info on this sub and almost everyone recommends a sealed box. I was thinking about getting this box. it's ported. it says it's built to alpine spec. so if alpine spec is a ported box, why are people recommending sealed boxes?
