[QUOTE="xluben, post: 1918241, member: 568852"] I have 2, 12" Assassin's in 1.25 ft^3 sealed (each). They're getting powered by a Profile AP1000M which says it puts out 500W RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms, but I've never seen a bench test for it posted online, so I'm not sure what it actually puts out. I'd like to know if I'll get louder by going with a ported box (~3.5 ft^3 combined, tuned to 32Hz) or more power (~800W)? WinISD shows both upgrades getting just about as loud (slight edge to the ported box), but the ported box plays quite a bit lower, and the ported box woud cost me a lot less, but it will take up nearly my whole trunk. What do you think should be my first upgrade: ported box or bigger amp? Also do you think SQ would decrease with a ported box? [/QUOTE]
