Funny thing, I would have said wrong section lol

Looks good

Well people like to show off their systems in Brazil(well at least in Marília, Sao Paulo), since there's no ordinance law what-so-ever there, so everyone and their grandpa has a system, some even show off their stock systems, since when you buy a car there, it doesn't come with a headunit, and everything in Brazil is expensive. My uncle put a Pioneer 12', Pioneer coxials(half of them only work), and a Pioneer headunit in my Grandpa's Volkswagen Gol, since he drives it too, my grandpa hates it.

Reminds me of my uncle

Just find a picture you find funny, and use that as an avatar, just like I did

Looks like a messed up on button

Well, I do have to admit, there are still a couple of good songs on Minutes to Midnight, but it's still incomparable to Hybrid Theory, Meteora, and the masterpiece, Reanimation.

and that's the album where Linkin Park started going bad.

That one

I honestly find it a bad idea to convert a sealed box to a ported box.

Depends on how big the sealed box is, but it's better to start from scratch when building a ported box. Best Buy is usually a terrible place to test out ported boxes cause prefab ported boxes are usually too small, and tuned too high cause the stupid mainstream car audio motto is "Sealed box = sq, ported = spl" which isn't true at all.

Good idea, better to get some good mid's and high's also, especially if you listen to metal where treble is king where bass isn't as big. Sound deadening is a good investment also, rattle sucks, and it'll make the inside better acoustically, so you'll get better sound quality just by putting in sound deadening.

As long as that 500 watt rms is clean power( go easy on the gain), you won't blow your subs, and they can take 500 rms. But yeah, try that box out, and see how you like it.

Well, a sealed box is easier to build that I can tell you, while a ported box requires more calculations so you get the right box tuning, and such, but you will get much better results with a ported box cause I've heard metal in sealed box, and it just sounds weird, like somebody put a pillow inside the bass drum to block the port kinda sound. I have a friend who listens to same type of music you do along with industrial, and he has 2 w7 12's in a sealed built to JL's specs, and he played metal on it, and it sounded so weird compared to me listening to actual shows I went to since I have a bunch of friends who are in local "Hardcore" bands, and they go nuts with bass drums, and when I hear that sound being reproduced on a sealed box, it sounds like it's missing that bass drum port sound I look for. But you are in the right place, cause if you can't figure out a ported box, there's people here you can pay to design one for you one, like RAMDesigns, 412CVX, and a few others.

But regardless of what box you make, it's actually a good idea to build to max sizes specs, especially if you're gonna go from comp to cvr to cvx, and as you upgrade, the magnets get bigger meaning more cu ft taken up, so you'll have more room when you build to max cu ft specs, and you'll go deeper too cause longer wavelengths has room to travel. Now, if you're going to use that box through multiple setups, make sure that box is sturdy as possible, like adding bracing, and some people even fiberglass the inside of it to make it as sturdy as possible cause the last you want is your box to flex. Also make sure to seal the edges properly so you don't get air leaks.

Umm, if you want better bass drum sounds, you're better off with a ported box cause it's very difficult to reproduce that sound correctly without a port.

Nice! Wish my physics teacher had something like that laying around.

Yeah, I'd go for the 1000-1, equal power distribution is guaranteed because each 500-1 has different birthsheets, so with the 1000-1, each sub will be getting the same exact amount of power, and less wires to deal with too.

Drum and bass

The sound is sampled from Kool & the Gang - Summer Maddness

Unless if you're sticking the Civic inside your house, this is the wrong section bro :/
