Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 800 Registered: Jul-06 | Absolutely do not use a ported prefab box. If it's sealed it may be ok as long a the internal volume is correct, but it sill would not a a good quality box. The general rule that I always tell people is: subwoofer installations are 20% woofer 80% install. It's amazing how many people can't understand that. |

Silver Member Username: Kaos15thPost Number: 420 Registered: Mar-05 | Hey Why i live about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from you i can build you a nice ported box built to your subs specs for 80 and i can meet you halfway.It would sound 10 times better than any prefab box. |
Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 151 Registered: Jan-07 | ^^^ cool let me think about it... do you have any picks of boxes you have made? |
