[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8671692, member: 615398"] Ported boxes can sound as good as sealed boxes and they get louder too. Sealed boxes in general are huge bottlenecks and severely restrict bandwidth and overall spl. Ported boxes are easier than you think, if you can assemble 6 or 7 pieces of wood to form a box then you can build a ported box. The reason I'm saying this is because sealed boxes naturally roll off around 50hz, which is when a vehicle's transfer function (cabin gain) begins to increase, so a sealed box naturally rolls off too early. Most of the music you listed will have the highest concentration of bass in the 40-65hz region so you want a box that will perform well in that area. If you want to save space then consider a 10. You'd be surprised what a quality 10 on a good 1k amp will do. [/QUOTE]
