That rule of thumb only applies if you believe that a cap actually makes any difference at all.

I don't happen to believe it.... so I would rather spend the extra money on an upgraded alternator or battery if I was going to do anything

of course i do. i know that strokers should be used for sq and i also know that a 'how well would it sound' type post belongs exactly in the SPL section of the forum, not SQ or General.

wow thanks alot guys youv been a great help, I was always a big fan of caps but then me and jordyo got into an argument and later I totaly agree hes right, without the alt and eveything to back it up, a cap dont do crap.

Now I make a pretty sick sealed box but ported hmmm thats a different story...(iv never tried to make a ported box) I remember once there was a web site where you stuck in the mesurments and it made it for you...pretty much gave you the blue prints on a proted box.... or would you guys suggest to pay someone to do it?

Sorry but I don't know the web site you're looking for.... there are a bunch of guys around here who will usually design a box for you... you'll just need to give them maximum dimensions of your trunk and how you'd like it tuned.

Definitely go ported though.... they aren't that difficult... a slot port is just a matter of adding 1 extra piece of wood
