My advice?

Never ask "What am I Going to Hit"-type threads. Way too many variables to be able to answer that one.

Also, put the amp on your front speakers, not the 6x9's.

hey sorry guys im only a few weeks into gettin into sound systems, well i have a ported box but it is small i dont know the actual size, i dun think i shood hook up my amp to my front ones they are only 30 wats rms, they wood blow up at a decent volume, but the acoustics in my car is fairly good, because there in no seats in the back, and the floor is shagpile carpet. and the sub is goin into a open area so im guessing the sound will be better compared to say having it in a boot of a car, im not really lookin for unbers or anything, just some advice on what i can to do to improve it, im only a yung bloke not that much of a budget? so any comments are great

build a new box ported high, preferrably to the resonant frequency of the vehicle

well i just had a new box built, its more to how it fits into the car, so its not that much of a option, anymore advice?

boxes made for competing are not usually ideal for the everyday driver. you should build 2 different boxes. one for daily driving and one for competing.

be careful this is a very addictive and expensive hobby.

have fun
