[QUOTE="strobe, post: 8668678, member: 676536"] What I mean by doesn't like it is it just sounds poor. Low end feels weak & seems like it's tuned extra high as higher bass notes are far more overpowering than before & sound bad (point of discomfort & turning down volume). Some songs just sound flat out bad & I have to skip. The box I have now is 19x13.5x17 with a decent sized slotted vent that wraps halfway around the back. Part of wanting to build a new box is to have it sit flush on one side to give me a little more cargo space. This vented pre-fab design ([URL="https://www.amazon.com/Rockville-RQT12V-Shallow-Subwoofer-Enclosure/dp/B07BDLNPDR/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=rockville+12+slim&qid=1550719778&s=gateway&sr=8-3"]pre-fab slim 12[/URL]) gave me the idea that I could probably make a similar build that's closer to factory specs & have the sub tucked on the left side w/ port aiming to the hatch. The mazda 3 isn't a huge vehicle and I pack it full frequently so trying to find the right balance of size:output. I was about to pull the trigger on a sealed enclosure & call it done til I read a bit. [/QUOTE]
