Ok, my 1.5 hr drive home is almost perfect. Sub. I need a sub. No... I cant replace my spare tire with a sub. I would like a box sub. Do I go enclosed box style or kicker type box?

Thanks, keep rockin, chris

    Not sure what youre talking about. Whats a "kicker type" box?

    If youre talking sealed vs ported, go sealed.

    Thank you. Sorry for the laymen terms. Sealed...

    Cool. That will suit you better. You can make a ported box sound as good as a sealed but a sealed box is more forgiving of design flaws and generally easier to get great sound out of.
