[QUOTE="Jeremiah25, post: 3390282, member: 570469"] My radio very rarely plays anything other than rock. Classic, hard, metal. Pretty much any style, but I don't do country or rap really. Occasionally I'll throw some rap in there to show off, but I don't really like it. My observation has been that the smaller boxes tighten the sound up alot. It makes a kick drum sound like a kick drum, instead sounding like a retard beating on a 55 gallon barrel with a baseball bat. The lower tuning helps to flatten out the frequency response, so it plays well on any song, instead of peaking hard on some songs, yet ******* on others that aren't within the peak frequency range. Keep in mind though that not all cars are the same. The standard AQ recommended box really doesn't sound very good in my car. It has limited low frequency output, and peaks too hard for too short of a frequency range to suit me. Yet, I've put the AQ recommended box in many other cars, that I didn't notice that effect nearly as bad as I do in my explorer. So I guess my recommendation would be to try a few different boxes. Try big -vs- small, then play with tuning in each box to see what works best for you, your listening style, and your car. [/QUOTE]
