[QUOTE="creyc, post: 2254317, member: 570559"] Go with ported! (if you can :\ ) To get the same output in a sealed box you need a larger amp and a larger driver. Porting is cheap and innocent looking, unlike your huge hifonics amp. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] But a ported box IS larger... What do you think they would notice more, a large speaker or a large box? If you can swing a 12" driver but not the large box thats associated with it you may be able to load it in an isobaric setup. It will cost you one extra driver and more amp power but will cut your box size in half. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Plus once you're on your own or they go easy on you, just take them out of isobaric into a ported and you'll have 2x the output.
