[QUOTE="Kryptokid, post: 2532507, member: 573077"] Ok first off thanks for all the replies, the input is appreciated. billabongcr - I am not really looking into one single box because I plan on making some fiberglass fenderwells (similar to the JL this JL stealth box just larger) [URL="http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_stealthbox_detail.php?fit_id=1421"]http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_stealthbox_detail.php?fit_id=1421[/URL] so I do not have to sacrifice any usable space in my rig. I do a lot of camping and snowboarding trips as well as own a dog, so that space is very inportant to me. BOOKER - 10w6v2s I have used those subs before and enjoyed them, but I do not think they perform as well as some of the newer manufactorers on the market.
