[QUOTE="TeoTorriatte, post: 4544269, member: 571999"] I think that pretty well sums it up... there is no cookie cutter solution that is going to provide for perfect SQ in every vehicle, and in every setup. To start with, way too much emphasis is placed on the subwoofer with regards to the SQ of the system. Really, if the rest of the system is done correctly, all you need is a sub setup that will cover two octaves at the most -- and retain flat frequency response across that bandwidth. Whether it takes a ported box, a sealed box, IB, or any of the above with parameteric equalization is going to vary from system to system and from car to car. Still, with that said, a typical car's transfer function will match up best with the natural roll-off of a sealed enclosure. If you can figure out there that transfer function starts, and then find a sub to fit that transfer function, you've conquered much of the battle. Again, it isn't the perfect solution for every scenario, but the majority of the time it does the trick. [/QUOTE]
