[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7548986, member: 614752"] There's a dozen I can think of off the top of my head that will do that. Pick one that can handle the power you need and you like either the looks of or you like the way the company treats you, or you just get a good deal on and start building boxes and testing. I've been using the same subs for a few years now and I have had a huge variety of different tunings and responses by just building different boxes. I'm still not even sure what I like. Interestingly enough on the topic of box design, a friend of mine had a box from Dave the box guy (out of New Hampshire) and was doing just under or just over 150 (depending on the sub... and actually sounded half-musical) with a single 15 out of a honda 2 door sedan. He recently had a very expensive box design done by an elite box guru (nobody on this forum AFAIK, but someone who people get a hard-on over). He put weeks into constructing the box, sanding, resin, etc. etc. and lost almost 2db. I'm not saying Dave is a genius or just got lucky, but the point being you really don't know until you test and even the best theoretical info may go to **** in the car with music playing.... in his particular case the box performed very well with about half a dozen different comparable drivers he tested. IMO at the end of the day vehicle accoustics and the box will probably be a more dominant factor than the woofer itself provided you're not comparing a monster sub to best buy fare. [/QUOTE]
