Which box "style" Would be best for me?
I don't much about #'s or whatever, I have 2 sh|tty mtx subs right now and I'm going to get rid of those and get 1 12 instead. (I havn't decided what to get yet) Which box style would be best for boom? ( feeling the bass ) I don't care about the looks of the boxes and I have my full trunk to work with.
#1 Sealed square
#2 Sealed slanted
#3 Sealed "pyramid"
#4 Ported "Plexi"
#5 Generic "Vented"
Thanks

nah, i don't know where you can get good ones
my box is ported, and was built by a local guy here in houston. my sub in his box he built absolutely slams. i found out that he was in my area over at www.caraudio.com/vb so you might find someone in your area that builds boxes as well.

Check out a company called Audio Enhancers. They build boxes for Memphis Car Audio, JL, KOVE, KICKER, and DIAMOND. Both style of boxes that I had in my truck are built by them and I can tell you the craftmanship is excellent. They brought more life to my RF subs than a box supposedly "tuned" for them.
But it is a lot of fun building your own.

Oh well, I won't have the RF for much longer. Getting my new M-Class Memphis subs in a few weeks.

I'd reccomend a sealed if he was after pure SQ... but he's wanting to feel the bass. Here's a good basis to go by.
Sealed - great for Rock and Roll, pop... etc. They offer the best response to changing freq. But lack the pressure feeling
Ported/Vented- Can be used for R&R, works well with Techno, and rap. Not as good response as with sealed... but can be tuned to so the difference can't be telled.
Bandpass- Usually tuned for one certain freq... usually found in Rap... pound the living be jezzus out of you... but does not work with R&R and techno all that well.

I tried to move it around, point it facing the trunk, have it pointing thru the ski hole into the cabin, etc, but this position is the deepest, hardest hitting position I have found in my trunk.
