May I recommend Porcupine Tree. They can sound Very Pink Floyd Like , if you like Post Barrett Floyd. Also a lot of Moody Blues influence. Each album changes sound and direction, but all I have heard ( My friend owns most of them ) sound great. The cut that plays when you hit their Myspace page has a bit of a modern sound before they fade into and out of most of the tracks on their newest album.
A quote:
"Porcupine Tree is unquestionably one of the most difficult-to-categorize and innovative bands working today. The music is breathtaking, ranging from psychedelic trip-hop to progressive metal, and a compendium of other sounds and genres in between."

To bring back to the thread, they sound great in my HHR with the boot live album I have, but it needs better bass, hence my attraction to this bas enclosure thread
You could also try one of my favs from the '80's

Is it called ported because it's in the sidewall of the car, or is it something in the speaker box design itself? And re "tuning": is tuning in the ear of the listener, or is it obvious, like off balance or wah wahing or is it when someone just turns up the volume into distortion. What all do you look for in tuning?
Check out this article for info on tuning.

All A&E shops are not the same the guys at HB are great. They worked on my truck also and it had very clear audio. Here is a link to JT's FJ Cruiser http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/galle...e.asp?iType=28
