well since I got a couple replies

I think I want to upgrade my 7500 mtx's to somthing that sounds alot tighter.Right now the box I had custom built for my mtx's will work with fosgates,airspace wise.Any opions on a sub that uses the same amount of sealed airspace as a new fosgate or mtx 7500?

Well it was for wiring an a trim panel,vent in the rear deck.It came out super clean an was built to spec an super air tight.Either way,do you see goin to vented set up increasing spl greatly?

Holy shit man! You paid 700 bucks for a downfired box a trim panel and to specs? Wow man just wow. If you ever do something like that. Get the information from the guy building it then come back here and ask us if this price sounds right. That is insane!

As far as the speakers go I would port the box and you should be happy with a decent amp. But 700 bucks is hard to swallow.

well I think I am goin to take everyones advice an eat the 700$(yes I know it sounded high to me also,but I got sick of stuff being in my room an not in the car).I think I am goin to start shopping around to have a vented box built.What kinda price should I be looking at for a vented box?

40 bucks for the wood and screws and glue (also the dude cutting the wood if you dont have a saw), and a day or 2 of youre time

P3 = the upgraded version of the He2

T1 = the upgraded version of the Hx2

T2 = the extremely upgraded version of the Power Hx2

I would not seal any of them. But one or two ported T1's would be very nice.
