What kind of sound are you looking for? Loud or Quality? Interested in building your own box for around $40? Most prefab boxes are on the small side... bandpass are especially muddy sounding in my opinion. Sealed is fine for quality but won't get as loud as ported/ bandpass. 9 out 10 people on this board will suggest that you build your own box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Bandpass will be a lot bigger than sealed or ported.

what music? Rap- bandpass/ported, sealed is good for rock and such and SQ but also saves alot of space. there are amny other thigns you need to factor in.

While we're on this topic. What is the formula for calculating how much airspace in a custom made box?

yeah, my math is leaving me...

Unless the bandpass box is specifically made for the subs, it will perform like ***. If you are stuck on a prefab box, go with sealed. Get the airspace in the ballpark and you'll be fine. Sealed boxes are very forgiving in that respect.

My neighbor's GF has that exact enclosure (complete with the Dual subs and lighting and whatnot) powered by a 2-channel Dual amp of indeterminate output and it sounds like.....well, you get the idea.

It is the result of someone who knows absolutely zero about aftermarket car audio going into Best Buy and asking for the best possible buy under $500 including installation.

That's what she ended up with. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
