[QUOTE="Saint211, post: 4931489, member: 564903"] Boxes typically raise the power handling capabilities to an extent by providing rear loading(aka pressure) on the sub cone. Free-air... subs have less power handling. Like someone mentioned it also affect impedence rise. Think about it..... having a chamber of air that compresses behind the cone is almost like having a harder spider... I know some folks dont like pioneer but I once had 4 10" subs rated at like 120 RMS... I gave them 1k with bass boost and high gains trying to pop em. They got stinky a few times and even one time made a horrible noise. I thought I popped one or two. But I never did blow them. Ended up giving them to my brother. [/QUOTE]
