[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8189457, member: 560148"] If you want to be louder for cheap you NEED to build a ported box. As long as you don't tune it high like most of the cheap prefab boxes you see and are probably used to hearing, your sub will still sound good, especially for the type of music you listen to. If it's all dubstep and rap, 32-35hz would be appropriate tuning and should be simple enough to build, there are even free box plans on this site. Find one that you can fit in your trunk, most lumber yards can cut the wood for you. From there you need some screws, screw gun, wood glue and a jigsaw or router. If you have those tools you can build a box. If you decide you like it, go ahead and spend some money on carpet and you'll be good to go. ( you wont' want to paint your first box, they tend to be on the ugly side, and paint wont' cover that) The first time you build a box always take a bit, set aside a weekend for it if you want to do a good job. If not, 15-30 minutes a day can take you a long way if your not in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
