Box Help!

i have two 10" jl 10w3v3's running 2ohm on a hifonics brutus 1606. the box i have is not ported and i think i would gain alot from porting it...i no the box doesnt have any baffles or anything inside of it, but would i gain anything from using a hole saw or sumthing like that to port it a little bit?

If you want to go ported, build a new box. Don't try to ghetto mod the one you have. End of story.

****, all that clicking and I only got one double post? I was hoping for like 3 pages worth...

It depends on the space available, your desired response, and what you consider a lot to be.

yes. either keep it sealed or build a ported box.

If you cut a hole in your sealed box you're going to call yourself a dumbass afterwards.
