[QUOTE="phantom240, post: 2157565, member: 562504"] Um no. Take a look at it this way. Youre 16, and you admire the people who drive by with boom comin from their car, which yours has none of. Youre new to car audio, and the most youve dealt with is replacing your factory speakers and HU, so you try to learn what you can to see what you need. Where do you turn? Local audio shops, or places like best buy/circuit city... You walk over to the car audio section and start looking at different subs, boxes, and amps. Somebody who works in that depart ment comes up to you and askes if you need help, and you tell him you want boom in your trunk. The salesman looks at you closely and analyzes you. He sees a 16 year old white kid who knows next to nothing about car audio and probably ahs money to burn... so he startes telling you about this sub and taht amp and blah blah blah... and he points out their neon light-clad bandpass box. OOOOOHHHH you can see the magnets... well that box is too expensive for you, so he tells you about their prefabbed ported boxes, which they have quite a variety of... You consider it, and ask about those 60 dollar sealed boxes, and he tells you how they take more power to get loud... blah blah blah.. and you walk out with 2 RF punch 12s and a ported box... and an amp he suckered you into. You get home and its quite loud... but sounds like ***, so you go back there and try to see whats up, when they tell you its just you, or its just breaking in. SO you come to CA.com and we tell you you got owned cuz you wanted loud and didnt know how to get it. Prefabbed SPL boxes FTMFL. [/QUOTE]
