How do you like your sealed enclosure? I'm thinking of putting two tens in my dakota. Under the backseat is two storage compartments and that's where I'd put them, but no room for ported.

Ive had a lot of Car Audio Systems , Ive learned a lot about them and i still have a lot to learn I have the RF Tech Documentation for the Rockford Fosgate School Ive read it about 10 times and only retained about 1/4 the information and refer to it often

That being said , In every aspect I build my systems By the book , And i want a Crisp Clean and Clear Sharp Hitting System , You will not get the response and Tight Bass from a ported enclosure , you can make a Small speaker sound big and when 2 notes hit it will play 1 note at 2 different frequency insted of 2 separate notes . Band pass is for the getto , My 2 12's Hit as hard and fast as 8" Speakers , the box is build to exact specks even accomendating for the Magent size (Volume) , you push on one and the other comes out the same distance , Poly fill completes the job

People dont realize how much of there music there missing , you have to cover the entire freq range the human ear can hear or you will miss it , 4 ranges will cover it if you buy smart

I can get a good deal through where I work on kicker. Basically I can buy everything at once for half price basically. I'm looking at two amps two 10's and some components. Right now though just getting a new head unit to make due. How much space do you need for the average ten?
