I've currently got two Solobaric 10" L7s in a ported box. I'm planning on switching to two 12" Elevation pros I think in a sealed box. I'm making the switch back to sealed because I need to get some of my space back in the back of my Jeep. My current box is a huge square 5.25 c.f. or so box. When I do the Elevations, I plan to fiberglass them up against the driver's side window/wall in the back to save space and keep them out of the way. It's not the most optimum situation, but it should sound pretty good and give me back most of my cargo area.

Ofcoarse, sealed is the most forgiving & easiest to implement in every setup.
I pretty much know the tradeoffs for each box, i was just curious to see who had what on this board.

my box is a basic 1.5cuft sealed box,

with a twist, first time I have ever used this stuff, but I lined the inside of the box with Hushmat Foam and to be quite honest, my ears seem to detect a smoother response rather than just an empty MDF box.

Kinda like polyfill..but more form fitting.

my box is a wicked one which is like a horn/bandpass kinda thing so i put it in the bandpass area.

I'm run sealed, and have for every system I ever had. I just built a ported box for my sister. The two arc audio 10's and they soud hella nice. I still gotta tune it correctly, then it should be even better.

Im just curious to see how many people on here are running a ported box as opposed to a sealed box or bandpass. If you have more than one vehicle and have different boxes in each, vote for the one you like the best.
