Loudest Off of 500 Watts

[Fastball]

Currently I have two memphis pr 10's in a sealed box and I want to go louder, but with the same 500 watt amp I am using. It would be going in the back of a Nissan Frontier so air space or size of sub will not matter to much.

Thanks for the help.

Port them. I was going to suggest Memphis PRs when I saw the title

Yeah that was one thing I was thinking about, but wasn't really sure how much of a difference that makes. I'm guessing it would be pretty noticeable then?

x3 on porting them

Porting them will be a perceived "double" in loudness. It will be the biggest difference you can make SPL wise without adding more power, or more cone area.

Well i guess i am definitely going to port them since everyone is suggesting it. On the spec sheet it says 1 c.f. at 40 hz. Does that sound good or does anyone have any better suggestions?

I live right by Cocoa Beach, just on the other side of town from you. lol

x2, i think the only way you would get louder is more cone area.. with exceptions, but i wouldnt expect much of a change.
