[QUOTE="marcotheclepto, post: 5671545, member: 607651"] m new to this forum all though i have been reading allot of posts and trying to learn more about car audio. However i was abit late on finding out about the sometimes negative feedback on a certain ebay seller patrick chandler/ Robot underground and have purchased an 18 inch subwoofer with the lighning audio tc desgned motor the one for sale now. i chose dual 4 ohm so that i could wire it to a 2 ohm load. I plan to build either a sealed enclosre or a ported enclosure tuned relatively low 27-32 hz. was wondering what cf i was looking at for both box types. I also was curios couldnt really find much clue anywhere as to whter or not spl was related to the "feel" of the bass. in short which box has more shake a sealed or a ported enclosure. I Drive a Buic Le Sabre limited 97 and have rouglhy 6-8 cu' of awkward air space in my trunk(would have to have many different sized parts to fit in trunk. I have a soundstream scx 8 BAMF5500D 5500 max 1 ohm 3200 rms 1 ohm 2500 rms 2 ohm 1700 rms 4 ohm considering i paid 270 shipped for this amp im assuming that those are not actual specs or they are specs at ideal circumstances (higher votage rating?) so 2 part question ported or sealed volume for either and realistic specs on my amp.
