its not highend and but has amp outs and AUX, and the whole system sounds so much clearer, and the JL hits real hard.
also picked up a kicker ported box

AND HOLY CRAP ITS SUCKS BALLS, STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOX it sounds worse then my seald 12" box converted to 10" with air leaking from old amp mounting holes.
dual is good brand. I had a dual cd player in my old truck. it had iplug so I could plug in my ipod shuffle 2gen. really like the sound. congrats. Dont need highend unit to get good sound. IMO. trust me ive had alot of cd players.
Dual sucks compared to high end, but it's pretty good for the money... My $75 12" Dual box is amazing for what i paid for it...
Denis, is that a truck box?
ya, i wanted something that would take up less spase in the hatch, and be slot ported. but it sound like garbage, so im back to my old boxQuote:

yeh, def. depends on the application, where the box is, and what direction the subs are facing, etc...
There are alot of variables that can help or hinder the performance of an enclosure...amp, wiring, alternator, single, amp crossover point, source unit, etc.... to name a few
that speaker box is built to fit a truck not a car so i suggest to get a band pass box with the same speaker you would get way better bass.
i built my own box and its perfect i used MDF....i have built a lot of boxes and sold them to my friends and their systems are loud
