JL Setup??

[integra17 10+ year member]

I have a 1998 Integra im new to the car audio scene so i have a couple questions.

I bought a pioneer deh-p980BT deck i have a JL 10W7 and a JL 500/1 amp

my first question is which box should i get the JL Pro Wedge box or a ported box? ( mostly listen to rap and techno)

Second is do you guys think this system will sound good? im more about SQ but i still love the boom

Three do i need anything else for my setup or is that all i need i can now go and take it to be installed??

last haha just for fun my friend has a 15" kicker do you think mine will sound worse/equal/ or better than his lol?

534th order bandpass FTW

seriously the sealed would sound better probably, but ported will be more effecient/loud

How should we know if your setup will sound better than his? We know that you have a 10W7, a Pioneer HU and a 500/1. And he has a 15" Kicker.. Far to vague to make even the slightest assumption.

i'd go ported to get the most out of 500w since your underpowering the w7 already

ported ftw, if you have space that is.

If you're aiming for SQ.. I'd put it in a sealed box about 1.2-1.3 cu.ft. It won't be as 'boomy' as a vented box. But you said in your first post you're aiming for SQ..

im under powering it? well i havent ordered my amp yet so i can still get the 1000/1 but ive asked that question and most people said that 500/1 will be perfect for a 10" W7 are they wrong?? and sorry about the kicker statment he has a alpine 9887 and i think a 1000 watt amp not too sure what kind tho but its not a big deal it was just outa fun. btw thanks for the replies about the box
