Biggest issue that has been bugging me as of late is I am making all of my car audio purchases based almost entirely on reviews and recommendations on here. Around where I live, most shops consider Kicker or RE the shiz; and while I'm not particularly against either of those brands, its annoying to not be able to hear anything around here to get my own personal opinion on what I want. I've only been seriously into car audio for about a year and a half now and have only heard a small handful of what I would consider a SQ set-up (even then, I wasn't thoroughly impressed...hell I'm not even sure I ever have even heard a SQ system).
Because most of my musical tastes are more focused on modern metal and heavier music rather then rap and such (though I do enjoy a good amount of bass every now and then) I partly am thinking I should try a sealed set-up, but because I honestly don't know how a good one sounds, I don't know if I want to go sealed and then not be as happy with the results and also lose output because the box obviously isn't ported anymore. I'm sure lots of people must have this issue, any suggestions for honestly just being able to find ways to hear a set-up so they can decide if they want to go that route or not?
