Thats why I said potentially. If designed correctly, the ported enclosure would be louder. If I built the ported box, I can get it louder than the sealed box. 2 reasons 1. T3 TSS work much better in ported boxes because of their EBP. 2. A properly designed ported box has the highest SPL potential in a non-extreme vehicle. -------------------- Dream, Plan, Build T3 Audio really does make the best subwoofers, we just want to let the world know it.

T3 was at the top of my list on the next subs I was going to own, but I then ran into the Sundown Nightshades and fell in love with them. They're very similar to the RE MT's and the FI BTL's. Like it's been said before you can't really go wrong with any of them. Get what you can afford or get a good deal on. -------------------- TEAM SUNDOWN AUDIO 2009 NSPL Car 1801-3600 Watt Record Holder: 151.2db 2009 NSPL Car 3601-Up Watt Record Holder: 152.6db 2009 NSPL Car Hardcore Record Holder: 155.2db 2009 NSPL Car 3601-UP, Car Hardcore, and Car Points World Champion

Cant go wrong with the T3's I have very much enjoyed mine and have not blown yet. I say yet cause a modded stetsom 7kd will be cranked up on them at the next show to see what i can do. For street i have it tuned at 32hz and its insane makes my friends head hurt. Im currently running two T3 TSS 10's in about 4.25cf box on a earthquake phd 5000 till my stetsom gets back to me. You do one TSS 15" in about a 3.25cf ported box you will be happy -------------------- Tim Shelnut T3 Audio 2x World Champion IASCA Stk.1 Class Old, World Record holder 153.5db 2 DD 10" http://s125.photobucket.com/albums/p46/tim0shel/

If your gonna run ported i'd go with 2 BTL 15's. Sealed i'd do 4 Fi Q series. I ran 2 Fi btl 15's loaded with 1 atomic 5000.1. Sounded great. Did a 149.1 at 30hz sealed on the dash. not to bad for a no wall box in my blazer. Then i swapped the subs out with my apxx15's and wired the amp lower due to the xx's having way higher impedance rise then the btls and managed to break 150 at 30hz. Sound quality is not as good as Fi's though. but it is pretty violent. -------------------- 2 APXX 15's 1 Atomic 5000.1 Iraggi 300amp Alternator 5 batteries 150.1 at 30hz.
