[QUOTE="FullThrottle7, post: 557147, member: 546116"] Hey guys, sorry I have to ask this as a new thread, but I couldn't figure it out through searching. I bought a special RE sub about 2 months ago and have had it sitting in my room waiting for my new car. It is an SX with an SE coil in it. It didn't come with any parameters or power rating information, but the guy that sold me it said that it would take about 1,000 watts, so I'm planning on buying a Hifonics 1500 today. The car is a 95' talon tsi, so it has a good deal of hatch space. i would like some help figuring out the port size I'll need for the box. I know that I would like a ported enclosure, but would like to keep the tuning pretty low so that I get the deeeeep bass that carries forever.
