KingPepsi Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hey everyone! I am planning to do a build in my BMW this winter and my plans so far look to be 2 SA-8's and an SAZ-1500. Where i need advice is on box config. I can build and design no prob but my issue is that I am looking to go towards SQ vs SPL. I have yet to find video of the 8's in a sealed enclosure. I have always despised the mushy response of a ported box especially since i listen to everything from jazz to metal to rap and some other goofy stuff haha. I was hoping someone here or even sundown themselves could give me a yes or no when it comes to a sealed eclosure. Thanks in advance guys! Justin Quote This signature intentionally left blank.

KingPepsi Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Its a 540i so trunk space is ample. I planned on doing something using a good portion of the trunk. Quote This signature intentionally left blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 If you think ported boxes sound "mushy", you haven't heard a properly designed one. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPepsi Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) If you think ported boxes sound "mushy", you haven't heard a properly designed one. Thats a very good possibility honestly. It has been a while since i was involved the the car audio world. Im sure things have changed. I am more than open to a ported box if someone can prove to me that a ported box can sound as good if not better than a sealed. Im very open to everything at this point.
