This will sound clean, hit hard, and look good. No more crappy halfassed walmart gear. you'll have a respectable audio system. Keep it simple, and use good equipment, and install it right. You can't do better than that. |

If it's ported, is it slot ported or round ports? If the box is ported, with round ports, I can tell you how to tune the ports. |
