Need help choosing a box!
Hey guys,
I'm in the process of piecing together a budget system to get some more bass. The sub I chose is an Infinity 1050w... I have an '03 accord Coupe. I'm not planning on picking up an aftermarket deck so my options are to use a LOC. Now, I know that it's best to have a box custom made to the sub's specs, but given the fact that I'll be using a LOC (I know that this setup will not produce bass to it's full potential given the fact that I'm not getting a deck), do you guys think I should go with sealed, or ported? I was thinking ported because generally ported boxes produce louder bass (I figure I'd try to compensate for the loss of bass I'm anticipating if I were to use a LOC and a sealed box). So, sound gurus! Am I right to fear that I won't have enough bass with a sealed enclosure and a LOC? Which box would you guys recommend? |
LOC = ? (line of control, lines of code, library of congress, :dunno:)
Ported will definitely help.... |

Ported will definitely help.... Lets you take your signal from regular speaker wires and converts it to an RCA out that you can then plug into your amp. |

LOC = ghettoest device ever created.

LOL! You're not helping guys...

If you have to use a LOC then use one with a bass restoration feature like the re-Q. For that sub if you want to get at least a little bit of output go ported, but the box will be bigger than a sealed one...

I hear ya, I've been looking into an Audiocontrol LC6 as well. My plan was to try a generic LOC and if I wasn't happy with it, go with a higher end one like the LC6. Hadn't heard of this re-Q device before but I'll look into that too! Thanks. Now, do I get a custom ported box made to spec? Or can I go with any one? Will there be a huge difference?

Well, many people who own 7th Gen accords know that the only real option we have is to mount an aftermarket deck in the lower cubby holder (which I really don't want to do... not to mention I'll lose dual climate and steering wheel controls and what not). Also, having a second deck underneath the factory deck looks kind of ridiculous IMO. Unless it's a 7" screen (which I don't have the cash for). So yes, money is kind of an issue too.
