have you ever thought of going custom instead....
you will experience much better over all performance with a custom
enclosure over a prefab...

umm..Bassworx

sorry Dave but you REALLY lost me there...LOL
the port noise out of most Bassworx Boxes I'v heard is as loud as the sub (or louder)
with certain woofers
although I have heard a couple prefab set ups that were OK
...some of them do a decent number on the TL

BTW... I'm gonna stop by for a chat soon here
..what do you take in your Tim Hortons Coffee ????

yeah you're right my bad, no offence

when I can afford something better(car and system), I'll go that route

for now, I can get either of those for under $200

I would think DD would be the better choice assuming they actually really did put a little r&d into it as they claim but they wouldn't be the first high end company to put their name on some cheap crap just to get a slice of the market
