[QUOTE="DFW40, post: 1206791, member: 556468"] I would go for a ported 12 if I were you, the right ported box will sound very tight and punchy if you use the right sub and box combo. Since your seats do not fold down it is very hard to get that upper punchy kick drum bass to fight throug the backseat, the higher the frequency the harder it is for it to pass through things like backseats. These seats work like a crossover or filter and can keep out those upper bass notes while letting the lowest pass through.
