[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8697393, member: 650438"] to answer your original question about porting the box. ABSOLUTELY NOT. ported boxes do not work that way, NEVER do that. Ported boxes need to be 3x the size of your current box and the ports need to be big, space makes bass and thats how ported boxes are designed to work, well the actual working ones anyways. Without any understanding of how ported enclosures are designed, putting a hole in a small sealed box wont just make your sub sound like absolute garbage, you will lose output and also damage and tear up your sub because the box is tuned way too high and playing any kind of sub frequencies will cause it to unload which bottoms out the sub mechanically and tears up your surround and fks up your coils.
