Ok first off make sure your charging system can handle that amp because my charging system is suffering now because i was impatient. As far as your question i would generally like to build ported but ported will be difficult to build properly if youve never done it before. What I would recommend is a sealed wood box built properly in the back seat with 3 facing toward the ceiling and the other 3 facing forward. Make sure you make the box the proper size and keep in mind getting the box in and out of your back seat through the door opening. Hope this helps.

i would do the same but make the box two pieces so that you can get it in and out. also try leaving the subs disconnected until you get the box in and maybe attach the two boxes together by bolts or screws, plus it would be lighter to carry

Yes you can get H/O alts for it. Try Iraggi or Ohio Generators. Both have stores on the bay. -------------

there was a guy here running them in the local contests here. 4 12s and i think the 2000 so called watt hifonics amp. The box had a competition port and could be covered to make it sealed. The best number i saw him do this year saw was 143db(outlaw style with the SPL port in place). For the cone area and power(he is supposed to have) he was getting his butt handed to him pretty well. -------------

Well tell u the truth I don't want this system for comps there is very I mean very few peps that have interest in audio any where near I live so I have no one to trade back ideas till I found this! So what you think about a slot ported box?

You're surprised? HiFonics is CRAP now... (not that it was ever spectacular, as far as I am concerned) It's Maxxsonics... Might as well reside under the Directed umbrella... It's crap! Swap-o-rama gear, at best. High-end swap-o-rama, sure, but there's SO MUCH BETTER for the money. loud?no_louder! wrote:

Honestly you would have been better off with 2 GOOD 12s or 15s both in sound quality and output. If you want 4 more hifonics 12s and a hifonics amp he is selling his stuff. Cheap too. I know its not what you want to hear now, but sometimes we have to learn the hard way. -------------

WTH? I have NO idea what you just said... I *think* you were trying to "tell me off", but I'm not really sure... ------------- It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

just to let you know thats not a good way to get your questions answered on this site...just sayin. not hating. but everyone does have a point in the fact that hifonics is crap. especially subs. youd get a better deal getting pioneer premiers such as these....
pioneer premier ts-w3002d4 you can find them at .....com for $135 each. Great subs for the price and they have never dissapointed me.
