Do not buy that box. It will sound like total SHIT, I tell you no lie.

Get some subs FIRST, then build a box to fit the subs, dont get subs to fit a box... Do not buy a bandpass box, and do not buy a prefab box. Make something yourself, or have it made by someone on here.

And for less than that price, someone could build you a MUCH MUCH better box. I might even be up for the challenge... But for God's sake, dont buy that.

Yea don't buy anything yet. What kind of budget do you have? We can help you get a much better setup then that.

Listening to something in Best Buy, which is a room, not a car, sounds very different than how it will sound in a vehicle.

Go for that if you have the cash.

What are you looking to achieve here? Are you interested in SPL or SQ?

 

[4runnercrazy 10+ year member]

no idea what SPL or SQ are

 

[PhatTonyDeMarco 5,000+ posts]

SPL = Sound Pressure Level (lamens terms, loud bass)

SQ = Sound Quality (self explanitory)

SQL = Sound Quality Level (loud, quality sounding bass)

 

[tRiGgEr 5,000+ posts]

SPL - Sound pressure level, loudness...

SQ - Sound Quality

Stick around and read up. Learn as much as you can on different equipment and installation before you buy.
