tyler is on a distinguished road
This is my second "boom" set up I've made (first for personal use) and I wire the subs in sets and run them off switches in my dash theat connect to the rem for each set, that way I have control over spl while driving and also a the car shows. From what I've seen ported boxes are a little more forgiving when it comes to volume and as for port size I have a program that calculates port size based on sub and box dimensions this way I can tune the box to what ever freq I need. But with this being a fiberglass enclosure ill have to resort to the old packing peanut method to measure internal volume which is a little less then precise.
I see your point about the strenghts of a sealed box and how it can be pointless to have thiis much bass in such a small car but why not? As long as I have the switches to make it bearable to drive( and legal) then I figure ill "go big or go home". The diamond audio's I have produce amazing sq while still pounding so driving with 2 on should be more then enough and the extra 2 will be when. I wana show off
