Ok I guess I'll just get the cheaper kicker and be done with it. I don't really alot of bass, I just want SOME bass. Its better than none at all which is how my LS is when I got it. Thanks!

Sealed box in the trunk woudnt sound half as good.

if you positioned it right and took out the stock sub so that it vents air into the main cabin of the car it would sound pretty damn good.

I have to agree with pure drifter.
Once the factory sub is removed and a good set up is used it can sound great. I have more bass than i ever wanted with my JL audio 500/1 and 10w7 in a J.L. H.O. box

Free Air is the best balance of SPL and SQL when done correctly, thats why i plan on doing my system using a combination of 2 12" subs pushing approx 500-1000W each RMS through a home-made ported/free-air hybrid enclosure.

Sorry if i was the one that misled you, i really thought it was a 10. Thought they upgraded them from first gen that were 8inchers. Very sorry.

I was unaware that free air had any advantage other than saving trunk space. It is rather inefficient and very sloppy for band reproduction since it has no vacuum to overcome for cone stability and SPL needs ports to allow the cone to flow for wide excursion?

www.lexls.com has a tut on replacing a sub and using it with the OEM amp.

not entirely sure how many watts goes to the Nak sub in our cars but i think its around 60w RMS @ 4ohms. remember, too LITTLE power is just as bad for a sub s too much.


i remember reading an article months ago on the benefits of free-air enclosures but il hafta go and hunt for it

I'd be interested in reading it. As free air is like trying to get bass out of a convertible.
