Having more time off of work then I care to have (unpaid) I'm felling down and worrying about everything. So to help ease this, I'm going to get started on the "re" installation of the stereo.
I'm parking the truck and having a friend take me to and from work so I can remove most of what I need to.
The first step is to do the door panels. I'm glassing the speaker pod right onto the door itself.
Then it'll be off to the amprack behind the rear seat.
Pics will be taken step by step and posted.
Your thoughts, Use the one TREO SSi12 sub ported or even bandpassed off of the ZPA0.5 at 4 ohms mono and get an Audio Control EQS, which I need/want anyway, or use that money to get another TREO SSi12 sub and go sealed w/2 12"s at 2 ohms mono off of the ZPA0.5 moded?
Plus I'm toying w/the idea of using Rhino linning on the outside of the box to help w/the roaming feet by the kids ant to help sound deaden the box itself.
Your thoughts please.
Thus it begins... The rebirth of the install

i agree with stipud. go sealed. From experience of having both ported and sealed I was much more satisfied with my sealed box as opposed to my sloppy booming ported. But then again, it could have just been the box maker. He wanted all SPL.

you can make a ported box sound amazing if you design and tune it yourself. Most specs for ported box from manf. are designed for those big sloppy boom bass.
With that said in the car, the cabin gain will usually give the effect of gains as a ported box would give you in the home.
SO in a car I prefer sealed or IB, in a home I prefer ported, my Aura NS15 worked much better ported then sealed in the home.
