Thanks! much appreciated for the quick reply n quality advice!! i wouldnt usually free air my subs - i've heard sealed and ported subs & they sound f**kin quality!! thing is i own a rover 214 sei cabriolet - i tried wiring a sealed sub in my boot but it rattles like you wouldnt believe (bein a cabriolet) so enclosin a sub in my boot is really out of the question!
i also looked into building an enclosure using my parcle shelf as one of the faces of the box (subs facing up) however i wasnt keen on all the weight supported by one metal sheet! so this is like my only option for some quality bass. i have 2 8" subs built into my door panels however there isnt much bass with them alone hence the situation im in now!
is free airing really that bad??
