[QUOTE="Trancer, post: 7585127, member: 544448"] Oh ok. Gotcha. I see what you were saying about the young comment. I don't see what the guy was saying was helpful. It just doesn't fit the application because he didnt have anything to back it up. I would love to take the LMS-R, but I would only be able to run 1 of those 12's in a ported box. I have found out that running two 12's in the box I had in my truck, just doesnt work well. I went with 2 RE SE 12's, which are fairly beefy subs.. I ran lower powered, not as beefy subs; Infinity Reference 12's that had a power handling of half of the RE SE's. They performed better. Funny thing is.. is that the space recommendations for the RE SE's were less than the Reference 12's. So I will need to build a bigger box. .83 cu ft per chamber is just not going to cut it, plus Im over running sealed. I want to go back to ported. I'm all about ingenuity. Im going to give a shot at building a fiberglass/wood box. Fiberlgass the bottom and the back and running 3/4" wood on the front and rear.. maybe fiberglass the front to push out the subs a little further and make it look nice. Just hope I can pull it off. Havent built a box in probably 5 years. As a teenager, I probably built about 20 boxes. Plus I have never tried fiberglass. You are right about hanging on to these TC2+ motors too long. I am in need to get rid of them and get them to someone who can enjoy and utilize them. I just dont have the space to run them. Plus I want to run something different. They were great for the 3 years I ran them. Wish I would have learned and anchored my subs in the downfiring box. Learned my lesson. If there was a way to run two LMS-R 12's ported, in my truck, I would do it. But I just dont see how I can fit a 4.5 cu ft box under the rear seats of my space challenged truck. I dont think I can get anymore than 3 cu ft. I might have to raise my back seats as I was recently told that raising the back seats a little will actually make it more comfortable for the rear passengers. I just dont want to raise them anymore than 2". I dont want them to be hitting their head on the ceiling. I do want this to get loud.
