You hush, you are the reason I am blocking off the trunk and throwing the box in the back seat anyways. How long ago did I start that thread on ROE? And I have yet to put a cut into wood. First time was too little port, second time too much net displacement, third time(in the sketch up model above) I haven't found a problem yet but probably will within the next day or two. Thinking about keeping the port and making the box 1" less deep, shows more cone control in winisd at the sacrifice of peak output... Although am also waiting on the new Sundown X-8's but IDK if the magnets on those would clear the port... So many factors...
How about you give me your alt for some motivation to get this done?
Man I still don't see how you do it. I ran sealed for a little while but the output difference with my Skars is night and day. The MA Audio's didn't seem to change much but now the Skars kill it in that leaky ported box. Although in your setup you don't really have room for the port you need to gain the efficiency a port is designed for do you?

Ya i know what you mean and as an installer all we did was ported. all the time. But sealed sounds so much better and so much cleaner. With the 15s on gobs of power in most cases its more output than i need so it was really a no brainer. We initally did the box as big as would fit in the contraints i wanted and depending on how much net volume i had i would see about going ported (I wanted to use 6" areo ports thru the rear deck) and it ended up being a little smaller then optimal for ported but still possible. It is bigger than optimal for sealed but still ok.
With my setup its so clean and low. It would be hard as hell for me to go back

Why? Your setup was inspiring! Although for the right price I will definitely take the alt off your hands.
Now you are going to make me wanna go bigger and more power... Damn you! lol.

kenwood with nav, Ipod control, dvd etc.
Sound deadener in entire car
added tweeters
also put new speakers in front doors and new 6X9's in rear. All Infinity speakers.
then built a fiberglass box that holds an amp.
Amp for the sub is on the box and the amp hanging is for the speakers.

BTW, I am not crap talking just saying that bigger is not always necessary, I would ask what my customers wanted then steer them in the right direction and almost always it would be for light weight smaller boxes and 10's. It saves money and todays tech with tripple shorting rings, and computer aided sub design you dont need a 15 to make noise. Just a good ported box and some subs with great xmax/xmec. I understand ever one likes to show off their stuff and big usally shows better but just chiming in cause I love this stuff as much as you all do. I have been installing for 15 years and have had my own business for 2 years or so now. I have done many different cars but after most hear my main two brands they dont really go for bigger, they go for 10's and spend more on the sub instead of inexpensive 15's. I carry RE Audio, Image Dynamics, and whatever my wholesaler gives me good deals on occasionally.
here is my camaro install.
here is my toyota install.
