Hey Guys/Girls,

I wanted to know what the best type of sub encloser is, i was thinking of geting a sealed one becasue i want my subs to have tight bass :thumb: . Thinking of going with 2 tens dont know what brand yet any suggestions? :confused:

Dude! You should get one of those remote control dub cars..I think they have a sealed ported box with tight bass installed already..

Ported can sound just as good as sealed in the right alignment...in fact, ported can actually have a better response over the bandwidth then sealed ;)

If you're looking at pre-fab boxes, though, sealed is probably the way to go. Most pre-fab ported boxes are tuned over 40hz and don't sound all that great in a daily setup.

Well....let me just PhotoShop you a couple:

My audiobahn (dual 10's above), is tuned to 50hz, and with a 6db/octave slope and +1 or 2 db at 63hz it sounds very nice on jazz and alt rock stuff. It will in no way impress someone looking for "bump" though.

I'm SUPER happy with it's performance in my HHR - but then my head unit (Pioneer 8600), offers lots of flexibility in setting up subs.

Go figure. :D

Well you've got a 4th order bandpass system...you get much better transience around your passband- ported boxes tend to peak about an octave above tuning, and hit the floor an octave below. If you have a traditional ported box tuned to 40hz or so, you're going to peak around 50hz, and bottom out at around 30- the transient response is going to look like a hill/valley line.

All I know is I am VERY happy with that little Audiobahn system (an donly running 300-watts to it).
I HEARTILY recommend it to any HHR owner looking to add big bass without breaking the bank or losing all your trunk space. :thumb:

I too recommend that you run a much smaller box if cargo space is an issue, although i wouldn't make any decisions until you know what subs you're going to run because different subs have have different internal volume specs (depending on if the box is sealed or ported. The setup socal is running is nice but i personally like to announce my presence before i arrive. Here are updated pics of my box.

are those tw0 12s , I was also thinking of doing 3 tens, What do you think , I want to be heard also, How meny watts are you running? What type of subs are those, whats headunit are you using, Just a few Questions i have for you.

:roll: hahaha funny mike :roll:

So can someone just do a photoshop for me! ;)

in my jeep i went threw a 15L7 4.75cuft tuned to 28hz.. then i droped it in a sealed box 3.5cuft n felt it sounded alot better.. but i got tired of the SPL thing fast and went with Sq instead.. in the HRR right now i got my old box.. 2 16kv.2s sealed 1.66per driver... i will say the bass sounds better in this car then the cherokee but i get tons of rattleing and the rearview mirror is useless... at this point im all for sealed boxes

They are 2 12" pioneer premier dual 4 ohm subs rated at 1200w max per sub. I am currently running a Memphis 1100d rated at 1100w rms at 1ohm, so somewhere around 550w continuous per sub. I'm currently running off the stock head unit while i gather my money for the eclipse head unit that i want.

dose the stock head unit work good and do you have the optional & speaker system in your HHR?

I had no complaint with the stock unit until i had a system installed in our expedition and now i know i have to upgrade, the stock unit is just so limited. I have the optional system with the 6 disc changer and sub. The factory sub is still connected and operational, i been planning on disconnecting it but i'm so lazy

Which Eclipse are you looking at?

I was looking into probably picking up the avn 5435 but im leaning toward the 5500 or 6600 not positive on any one of them yet, but im researching.

Cool, I've got a 5495 on display that I've played with, pretty cool unit.

Stay away from the AVX2495 ;)
