[QUOTE="2012ScionTC, post: 7827412, member: 642988"] Okay, I'm tired of looking at pre-fab boxes. I'm going to have one built locally and just spend the money, spoke with the installer that has helped me and he said he can build it to JL specs but that he has actually built boxes similar to JL's HO boxes and he prefers to tune it into the low 30's between 32-34. He's been doing it for 25 years and has designed and built boxes for the JL that were tested against the JL HO box and were better. He's going to send me some box dimensions so I know how it will fit in the car. Told him I would like to be in the mid 30's but not go much bigger than JL recommended ported enclosure specs/size. He also explained the boom sound and loss of control the sub gets in my current box and why I have the gain turned down and the sub turned down, said tuning it lower will be better for the sub as well in regards to longevity. Thanks for steering me in the right direction and away from the pro box. I'm sure going custom built will be worth the money. I just don't understand why someone doesn't make a prefab box for the 10W6 off JL Specs or similar to the HO or Sealed JL boxes. [/QUOTE]
