I have a huge bandpass box right now with one 12". It gives a huge amount of bass, but takes up to much space. So i want to biuld one like the JL Stealthbox, so should i go for a lot of volume for more bass or small? Ported or sealed. Any tips?

sealed.. that will reduce the space some i had a bandpass for my 2 10's it.. it was too boomy, now it sounds much tigher and cleaner with my sealed box and pointed towards the rear.. but experiment with that.. sometimes it really depends on the sub and how much power you run to it..

In our cars, to get the most bass, you have to point the speakers back. My friend had 2 Phoenix Gold 12's in his Eclipse. That thing hit hard than any car I have ever heard, with 2 12's that is. I think the rear of our cars acts like a box by itself. Just my opinion.

he is exactly right... you want the deepest bass point the speakers back no matter what brand they are just make sure its a sealed box... i am doing that but 1 major thing... if you dont want your car to rattle like a bitch point them the other way and upgrade your subs so your whole trunk, hatch, everything rattles i put a trunk kit and it still sounds bad outside the car but inside it sounds nice

Goto Home Depot or Lowes!! Buy a thing of that plastic wrap crap that you would lay over furniture when painting or something. Cut out the spare tire holder in the trunk. spray some rubber or lay dynamat all along the trunk bottom. The apply the plastic sheets to the trunk getting it as flat as possible!!! THEN pour resin in the spare tire hole and along the floor of the trunk. Apply it generously and make sure you have enough. Let it dry!!! then pull the plastic out. Out with the plastic will come a mold of your trunk!!! you just made a custum enclosure!! =) get some MDF and make your box around the custom mold of the trunk. I wouldnt bring it higher than the spare tire well though!!! screw and resin the MDF down!! apply a lot and let it dry!! sand and paint or lay leather or cloth or vinyl over it! =) get some plexi glass and do some custom design in the middle of it to let air out and place it over the sub!! cut the access plastic off and lay it back down in the spare tire well. It should fit prefectly if you did it right =) bolt it down on both sides of the spare tire well and BOOM..lay the wood and carpet back over it and you still have a trunk with a nice install...The install will take about a week assuming you work and can only do it after you get off work!! most of the time you will be waiting for the resin to completely dry. which will take a long time. id say 24 hours to dry to the point you can sand it!! good luck
