[QUOTE="RangerMan, post: 65061, member: 541020"] I knew my old Ranger MTX Thunderform Enclosure would come in handy. The box is .6 cu ft sealed, and is a **** good fit in my Ranger. The only drarback is the 6 inch mounting depth limit...I decided to use this box for the SQ Review for the e10a. My amp of choice is a borrowed JBL 600.1, a perfect match for this sub...(Thanks to Drew Hamlett for this amp) When my e10a first go here, I have to admit, the thing was small, real small. Looking it over, it was a very beautiful sub, the only drawback was no wiring terminals, only wires that go to the VC already. Not a big deal though. The songs I selected were mostly at random, going through my surplus of CDs. The one song that I used that, well, everyone uses is "The Freshman" by The Verve Pipe. Song 1- "Purple Rain" by Prince- Yeah, I know I gonna catch some crap for this one...but this song is great for testing the sq of a sub. If a sub is able to keep up with each and every note, it is a good indication of the ability of the sub. My Infinity 6x8s sound awesome with the sung and I did not think that anything would be able to make it sound much better. I was wrong.
