[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8720463, member: 614752"] RF makes entry level "affordable" stuff but I'd advise against. Their higher end stuff is nice but spendy. Lots has changed by way of audio since those days. Head units are really great and cheap, power is absurdly cheap, and speakers are generally built around the fact that power is super cheap. That being said, most modern high powered subwoofers are designed to function best in ported box. The catch being ported box must be properly designed to match what the subs want if you are to have good performance. There are some good options for subs that will function in sealed box as well and there's a couple high power options there (but the really good ones aren't cheap). Best place to start is to tell us your goals and budget and start from there. For subs it's critical to pair the subs with the correct airspace. If you're dead set on using your antique box please post dimensions, if you can build your own box, let us know how much volume you wish to give up in the trunk and we can plan around that. Lastly, do you plan on putting some component or coaxial speakers in the front? Do you own a head unit or have plans to buy one? [/QUOTE]
