i think im gonna buy a 12 W7 to run for a nice daily sql setup.

what's the deal with the H.O. boxes? would a slot port @ JL spec be any different?

the HO box is probably i very low tuned slot port where the port is not like normal ports

edit:sorry for shitty wording

yeah, i was readin up on em off JL's site. i think ill prolly just do a reg. slot port.

thats what i would do. from the way the diagram is it looks like the flowing air from the port is canceled out by the sub. which would give you less output

crazy port design, i never noticed how it worked..

what would be cheaper, is what it basicaly comes down to.

I myself would save the $100+ and build my own
