i wouldnt recommend turning a sealed box into a ported one by just cutting a hole.... ported boxes are usually bigger unless you have a giant port (cutting a hole is not really much of a port at all) and a ton of power on the sub

 

I have no idea where my wife put the cameraand neither does she! I'll have to describe it to you till I come across it. When you remove the box from the trunck the portion that sits over the wheel well is where I centered and cut a 2 inch diameter hole. I have yet to put a tube in it but as it sits the sub moves TONS more air!

BUT, a buddy of mine who does car audio for a living just stopped by and I ordered a Kicker S7 (or somthing or other) 10 inch sub and Kicker 400.1 amp. Hes gonna build a custom box for it as well all for the unheard of price of $400 for EVERYTHING! I'll make a seperate thread and post pics (if the camera turns up!) when its done. Stay tuned!

 

bringing this back from the dead....
went to port the box and found the reason why my sub has been sounding shitty

what a piece of ****. it smells like its fried too. no idea how since i've left my bass in the middle and never cranked the vol all the way up. stock pioneer FTL will be going to the dealership monday for warranty replacement.

 

Holy crap its broken in half? How the hell would that have happened?
