  1. Well lets face it your car isnt the cheapest car around so add that into the fact that only few people rip them apart to build a custom stereo. You may be able to do it ported but not without fiberglassing and I mean thick. You would have to completely tape off and protect the entire area where the enclosure would be built and then use aluminum foil for lifting out the bottom half of the enclosure after you did say three layers of heavy glass. Then you can build up off of it. But before buying or doing anything see if this is something you want to tackle on your own: www.fiberglassforums.com

    this guy did a good example of glassing off the car and pulling out the piece to build off of:

    You'll need an account to see it!

  2. I would design the port on paper first, including the actual measurements for 150 sq inches, co lets say it ends being 15" x 10" by 10" deep well we know that 1,728 is one cubic ft so 15x10x10 =1500/ 1728 = 1.152 so 1.1cubic ft plus whatever the sub displacement is total is how much bigger I would build the box to account for displacement unless kicker already did that. I would call there tech support, it's free and there guys really know there products.

  3. wow i never knew that...but wouldnt my bandwidth suffer? I really want a big box, it will sound deeper, and move more air...and too correctly power it ill just turn the gain all the way down and probly give it 2-3k

    Your gain is not a volume control, it's for matching your headunit's output. Your volume on your headunit would determine how much power the sub gets. Based on Kicker's specs which are dead on I would go with recommended:

    They recommend 10ft max with 150 sq inch of port.

  4. I am always thinking about car audio. Always wondering what stuff I can do next & how I can get louder. I just cant get it off my mind. even at work, it helps me pass time when I think about teh bass. I have bass mekanik on my phone In my last college english class all my assignments were about audio & my computer stays on the forum so that I can check it whenever I have some free time.

    Funny you say that, when I was finishing college I had to go thru an office 03 class and powerpoint was one of the things we had to do. I did the whole thing on DB Drag and people loved it plus I got an A lol

  5. What I was saying is the subs you chose are to be put in a .75 cubic ft sealed enclosure, the manufactorer doesnt even give ported specs, which is I am assuming you have them in? Becuase when you say 33-34hz you would be normally speaking about a ported box's tuning. I would go with these before the lightning:

    The specs on the Kenwood site are for the 2512 but it's the same woofer.

  6. wow im so glad i didnt have to see that in person. just picturing it gives me goose bumps. tv was as real as i need. lots of innocent people died that day. so sad. i always think what the hell were they thinking as they (terrorist) did what they did? how did they go through all of that knowing they to were going to die it sickens me.

    This is pretty much why!
