that is sweet! but I don't think i can get my realestate signs in there. I was thinking of IB, but really didn't want to do all the work required to do it right. The next project maybe???

Thumbs up

if you can go with an ap mat............... do it.Handles tons of power sound fricken awsome, and take up no space..... if not go sealed.. sound qualily in a small vehicle will always be better than ported... just not enough space in a car to get the true quality of a ported box.... and they are 270 degrees out of phase as opposed to sealed which are 180 degrees out of phase which is easier to listen than an odd order design... pretty technical hey paul!!! lol

sealed enclosures suck in my opinion
unless there is a top end woofer and some
serious over powering involved...

nothing touches a ported enclosure designed correctly...
a single woofer in a well designed ported enclosure will
out perform 2 woofers in a poorly designed ported enclosure
easily....

It Doesn't Matter. As Long As It Sounds Good And It's Loud Enough To Tickle Your Nuts...it's Good!
