[QUOTE="PowerNaudio, post: 2042395, member: 561215"] type r subs sound just as good in a sealed enclosure as they do in a ported. if you want louder bass then go with the ported, a big sealed box will give you a more linear bass reponce instead of a quick drop of DB's that is common with the ported enclosures. if you run your cables inside the enclosure since youre allready using fiberglass i sugest you glass the wires to the side of the enclosure to keep them from hitting the enclosure and making anoying sounds. you said youre going to ground your cable using the same bolt that youre going to use to hold the enclosure down, i suggest that you use a threaded rod for that particular one. use a nut and lock washer under the car then place your ground inside the car connected to the rod then another lock washer and nut to hold the ground securly in place. then trugh your box and then a washer and nut to hold the box in place, that way you have a solid ground that wont vibrate loose. i dont know if im making my self clear, but i hope you get the idea. having part of the port out side the enclosure is a good idea since it allows you for more internal enclosure volume. as long as you can make it look good i say go for it. now once you start the install take lots of pics and keep us posted, it sounds like an insteresting build up. good luck. laters [/QUOTE]
