[QUOTE="DaveWS, post: 8574498, member: 673161"] Hi all, I recently installed a low budget audio system into my car (Toyota MR2), and I'm pleased with the result except the bass drops off a lot below 50hz and seems to peak at 100hz - much higher than I'd like. Any idea what I could do to improve things? Would a different driver make a difference? Would porting it make a difference?
