[QUOTE="Barjam, post: 1103658, member: 562876"] Here is my deal. I had an infinity sub (1042 reference) in a .75 box and it was pretty loud. I decided to upgrade to a Type R sub only to find that in a sealed box it wasn't very loud at all. I am runing 350 watts RMS and I really don't want to have to buy a new amp to get some SPL out of this setup and I don't have a whole lot of room to work with (mustang convertible) anyhow. The only thing I can think of is perhaps the R needs either more time to break in to get louder (it is only a week old), or it needs more wattage (not a good option for me). Thats where I came up with the idea of putting the sub in a ported box to gain a few DB. My primary concern is SQ so if there was a tuning frequency that gains a few more DB yet maintains a sealed box SQ that would be the best option for me I think. Thanks for all the help. [/QUOTE]
