Sorry buddy, but you might be better of just running the BM. Mixing usually results in less than stellar results

I can definitely tell you the MAGs are not crap...and willing to put my money where my mouth is.

So...don't jump to conclusions and start posting like that.
I'm not saying that at all Brypink, I'm just simply saying i dont understand how one product can be amazing and the other not. SI makes great quality products and im sure that if the BM didnt live up to there standards that they wouldnt be putting it into production. Everyone has their own opinion, and there are also many different variables that play a role in how the sub is going to sound. No i'm not jumping on the bandwagon, one persons opinion has no affect on what i think about the product.

I think i might possibly build a new box with max airspace that my seat will allow and give the sub another chance. I dont think that I did give it enough time to break in.

I'd bet your right but I got the momo so I might as well try it. If it don't improve the sound I'll pull the momo and double the airspace for the BM10 or get another momo... or another BM10... ugg plus another amp for the BM10 ugg! Or move the BM10 to the new home theater system... I hate this crap.

Most likely you wont be able to port the box you have now...unless it big-then you could buy one or two of those "Areoport", figure out how long they need to be, and then find a spot that they would fit on the box.

Otherwise you would need to design and build a new box...

I plan on it, the current box im using isn't utilizing the max airspace that it could be. So the port is supposed to be tuned to 36 Hz how do I achieve this? Also will the sub hit lower with a bigger ported box or sealed?

well honestly bassed on the info I'm receiving from your other posts ported might be out of your realm. it takes alot of calculations and time to design a ported box and honestly it's not gonna fit under the seats anyway. go sealed
