Another "ported or sealed" thread.

[sonicsaiyan3 0]

So I just ordered an Fi Q 12" a few days ago. I only got the cooling option, didn't think the others would really be necessary. I also ordered an Audioque AQ1200D to push it. Only thing I still haven't made up my mind about is the enclosure. I do have limited trunk space, the recommended Q 12" ported box in the cut sheets thread will fit my trunk exactly with no room to spare. Sealed would be fine, but I really want to go ported. The car is an 09 GTI. Music would mostly be drum n bass, dubstep, other electronic music, basically a mix of lows and highs. I could either go sealed or a smaller ported box. I just want the clarity and crispiness along with being able to be heard down the street when I want it to. Was also thinking of changing my order to a 10" since it requires a much smaller ported box but it's probably too late for that.

You'd be better off ordering the high QTS option and putting it in a sealed box. This will allow you to save space and still get good low-end extension.

Any more suggestions? I'd much rather go ported. Is it really a good idea to go 1.8 cuft? Trying to save as much space as possible.

BL and ported. The Q isn't right for you.

I'm not too sure about that. I definitely am after SQ, not really looking into insane amounts of bass. I'd still like the occasional seat massages though. Keep in mind it's going in a hatchback.

That doesn't at all correspond to your first post. I thinkterminology is confusing you

Disregard "being able to be heard down the street", probably exaggerated a bit there. Anyway, I think I'm just going to sacrifice the space and go ported.

What kind of space can you fit in that GTi?

Even still I bet the BL will more than exceed your "SQ" needs
