loud and clear

alt $3002 or 3 batts $600

amp ~$500

sub ~$500-750

box ~$50 acc (wire connectors ect...) ~$150

so like 1700-1850 so far. u got a good budget

you can shave a good bit off that too sub and amp wise, buying used or on sale, and depending on his power he may only need 2 batts so getting a couple dekas would be just a bit over $300

I would call local battery stores and see if they carry them, saves on shipping heavy *** batteries

sealed boxs dont pressure like ported boxs. so if they r in a small car it may not be too much of a dif. but in a huge trunk car ur gonna notice the differance. the best i have ever seen in a big body sealed was 144.1 and that was 4 soundstream t4s with 2 soundstream 2ks. so 4k rms and 4 12s and it only got 144.1. i have also seen the same guy do 146 with 2 hdc 15s ported and the same power. so...

What nonsense. Its true a ported setup is more efficient than the equivalent sealed setup, but sealed allows more cone area due to smaller enclosure sizes, and displaced air is displaced air. Not to mention, sealed setups tend to fit the transfer function of a car better than ported, giving a better chance of a flat response. I many times prefer the low-tuned ported route also, but to say you cant get loud sealed, and use your apparently limited experience as proof, is just silly.

Its true, this forum is grossly biased towards ported setups. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

ok ill restate that. u CAN get loud with sealed. just not AS loud as if you went ported. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif better?
