blackrosetiger Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 if your running sealed I'd stick to specs. I'd be different if you were porting them 1998 Plymouth Voyager (daily) Jensen VM9213 H.U.

blackrosetiger Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 generally yes but it depends on the car and the box. its alot of trial and error with a ported box but you can get good sound quality out of a ported box. If you have no experience with ported stick with sealed. Down the road you can always try to build a ported box once you have more knowledge on how they work 1998 Plymouth Voyager (daily) Jensen VM9213 H.U.

blackrosetiger Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 sealed would be the way to go if you're limited on space 1998 Plymouth Voyager (daily) Jensen VM9213 H.U.
