New Box - 56k-a-ok

[Tedro]

Im starting a new box just for fun and thought that I would see if you guys would help me out a little with what I should do. Im going to get a Infinity Perfect for the truck because I used to have a Perfect and I loved it and want another one. I just am not sure what box to put it in. I am looking at 3 different box's: 1 sealed, 2 ported. I will post what I have so far and tell me what I should go with.

I am leaning twards the largest box, the blue one because it is tuned lower and looks like it has a good extention down that low. I can go up with the tunning but not sure if it would sound as good with it tuned as low as it is now. What do you guys think? Should I go sealed?

I have always had my perfects sealed and they do very well. I am making a ported box for a friend for 2 12's. 1.75 per sub tuned to 32hz. Will let you know how it compares in a few days.

yeah I know, I have had them sealed before with little power and loved it but did not know if I should try a big ported box with even less power.

So should I go sealed? 2 cube's?

Those ported enclosures are WAY too big for vehicular use ...

please elaborate?

In a vehicle, the amplitude increases at a rate of ~12 dB/octave starting somewhere between 50-90 Hz, depending on the vehicle ...

so tell me, what should I do Mr. Smarty Pants!!!
