[QUOTE="schwol, post: 8672123, member: 676700"] Pardon the newbie questions. Got a 2013 Hyundai Sonata with a Rockford Fosgate R500X1D (500w x1 @ 2ohm) paired with a Kicker CompR 43CWR124 in a small sealed box. I'm wondering how I can best improve my setup. I listen to lots of bass-heavy music (rap, deathcore, drum n bass). I'm very much a novice when it comes to these things. I'm thinking upgrade the sub and put it in a ported enclosure.
