[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7015857, member: 549629"] helotaxi is spot on, as usual. And to add, a W3 in a ported box isn't even what Id consider a SQ setup. Im sure it sounds good, JL does make quality products. But if its the best setup you've ever heard, then all your friends have some pretty-shi[COLOR=black]t[/COLOR]ty-to-average-sounding installs. Im assuming that stealthbox is utilizing pretty much all the usable space available. Id say doing a seat lift install might give enough room for a 10" sub setup. And of course, there's always the nuclear option: blowthrough. Otherwise, you can try getting the specs on the box and see if modifying it to alter its tuning gives a benefit in the performance you want. Going from 300 to 500 watts wont likely yield the improvement you will consider significant. But going from brand/model amp advertised at 300 watts, to another brand/model advertised at 500 watts, does not necessarily simply mean there is a 200 watt difference. There is more to an amplifier than simply rated output specs. The Slash series for example, uses a power supply design that lends itself to sound quality performance, but the product's efficiency is decreased as a result. So placing a better quality, larger, slash series amp in place of a lesser quality smaller amp, may not yield ANY noticeable improvements, due to system voltage issues. [/QUOTE]
