[QUOTE="CHEMMINS, post: 7592765, member: 625734"] There are different trains of thought on the ported vs sealed when it comes to SQ. Depending on the sub, you can get very good response with a sealed enclosure. Generally ported has better low end extension (sub 30 hz). Ported boxes tend to be 1.5 times bigger than sealed. Price out what type of converter you want to use, rca's, power and ground first. Take whats left over, subtract probably $70 for wood, glue, carpet etc. Whatever is left over is what you have for a sub and an amp. That's when you find what is in the price range. Figure out how much space you are willing to sacrifice. Pick the sub from there. Once you have the sub picked, it is easy to find an amp to match the rating for the sub. [/QUOTE]
