Silver Member Username: Charlesbhs Dallas, Tx USA Post Number: 441 Registered: Jan-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 02, 2008 - 18:07 GMT well i was thinking about how great my rl-s sounds in the sealed box... but i think i might be interested in getting a ported box for it now. but how much more spl will i get? like the sub sounds nice and everything but i want those deeper notes to be shaking my car more.. if you know what i mean.. p.s. my box right now is about 2.5 net sealed.
