Enclosure:   the box I have found says the air space has been calculated for a 15"... But it doesn't mention ports. Do I want ports?

How does this look? Any pointers? Is this going to pound like i want it to? or atleast a lot better than my current system? what about these copolymer woofers?  I want to feel this in my chest!

Thanks in Advance,

Dan

hey pimp!

the seup that u have mentioned does not suit ur woofer... if u want something that can be heard at half a mile ... u need a larger amp.... ur woofer handles a lot more power so u can give it more juice.... the options on ur amp are awesome ... so u can fine tune them specifically according to ur car.... try another model of the same specs that gives more output.

and if u use ur current woofer .... it will sound alright but may not have all the kick...

alternatively... u could use the preamp outs and use another amp with another woofer...

are u wiiling to experiment ?

then there is the matter of the port, a port is said to improve the frequecy response of a drive unit ... if made correctly, it DOES make a difference!

hey and since u have the vented and sealed volumes... u could use the theile -small parameters to have an enclosure designed... or do it ur self if u have the equipment...

if u need any further help .... i am at ur disposal
