[QUOTE="codyc03, post: 8769047, member: 682815"] I finished my first sub setup a couple months ago, and have mainly been happy with it. I currently have the stock head unit, leading back to a LC2i with a skar rp1200 amp and 12” skar svr in a diy 2 foot cubic inch ported box tuned to 32hz wired at 1 ohm. The sub is facing up and port back in a ford focus hatchback up against the back seat. I have mainly been happy with this setup, but at times the bass sounds really boomy and empty. I tried turning the box on it’s face so that the port was facing down and the sub was facing back, somewhat mimicking a sealed box. It sounded less boomy and more punchy, but was noticeably quieter which seems fairly consistent with what i’ve heard about ported vs sealed boxes. The thing that gives me hope in my ported box however is my friend has a kicker comp r 12 in the kicker prefab box, which i believe is ported, and had it professionally installed. His setup sounds a lot more punchy and accurate. Any ideas on how I could fix this? [/QUOTE]
