kicker vs alpine setup

Are your l5's ported? Do you like the " hit " factor of those subs? I can't believe you broke the box. Where did it break? thats awesome in a bad way, and ya that would look fricken awesome to have 3 10's in that car wouldn't it. I just need to find out if I can get away with a ported box that is slightly smaller than specs and would it pound harder than a sealed at specs? Tough question I know but I am giong to spend about 500 on subs and 100 on building the box and not to mention the time to make the box ( although it will be fun ) and I want to get this right as it will be my last set of subs for a long time and I wan't to be happy with it.

You can use the smaller box...just add 1 pound of polyfill per cubic foot and you'll get a virtual volume of about 20-25% larger. The portd box will hit a lot harder and get much louder, but to be honest a sealed application will get more than loud enough and does require significantly less space.

I'm in with the comments about "More to go wrong with 3 10's" ...
Plus I think the 2 12's you've chosen better match what you're going to throw at them ...
And fragile coils? Never heard that one before ...
I pound on Kicker daily ... nothing has happened. Guess I'm lucky

I've used it many times over the last 25 years in ported enclosures with similar results to the article.
