[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8887612, member: 591582"] You can have 10,000 watts and having no box will produce no sound for subs, so remember that. It's literally physics. No matter how good the subs are, if the box is bad, it will not produce the frequency range required or wanted, literally no matter what. You can have $1 million and if you couldn't buy a box or figure out the math of how to make one, you won't have any bass. For simple speak, the box is everything. Doesn't matter good subs bad subs whatever, the box will absolutely make or break a system. Ported is usually the best in a trunk, rear firing all if possible, sometimes upfiring just subs is necessary, or upfiring all can work. Both side firing and front firing (ports especially since most pressure/sound comes from there) can cause what seems like phasing issues related to the trunk/car shape. I'm not sure if you can model that or not with more advanced software, but if you're like most people, doing front firing or side firing is a gamble sometimes unless you know already it works in your specific vehicle well. This comes from designing them, hearing them installed and having problems. Side firing ports in trunks seemed to work well most of the time, but sometimes it didn't and I wasn't sure why. [/QUOTE]
