Well good. Haha Yeah I guess free is better if you look at it that way. The point is, They're speakers and they hit. I just sold my car to get this truck and I wasn't sure which box to put my speakers in. They are both sealed. These are the only 2 I could find for my truck and I didn't want the nightmare of trying to build one .So you would go with the first one I posted? I also wasn't sure if they would make a difference if they were firing down as opposed to firing forward
Down firing will sound louder, forward will let you feel it in your back more, imo forward firing gets annoying on long drives haha.
I'd still say the first one, so you can add polyfill to it if it comes out to be too small, just make sure if you add polyfill you staple/glue it off to the sides in the box so it doesn't get up into the sub.
And make sure you check the ohm loads on the sub's so you can wire it properly to the amp, so neither the subs nor amp gets fried.
And if you decide it's not enough and you want to upgrade sometime, come up with a budget and post in here or drop me a pm sometime and I can probably recommend some good things for you. And if your like me, where you'd rather save money and buy used, ebay and craigslist after christmas and after tax season is where it's at, majority of the speakers I've bought have been gotten around that time because you can get them soo much cheaper haha.

Hey kfagI know they're not the best subs but I got them for free maybe down the road I'll upgrade my system. But I don't have the money right now so I'm going to make do with what I have. You just go around and brag about how you spent your money. HA! laugh at people like you. Got nothing better to do but try and ruin someone else's day well it didn't work. and to everyone else thank you for your input, sincerely
You just made my Christmas card list with that thar gem!
I should feel partly responsible for the cornfusion ... but oddly, I don't

MGD, you're the one that posted a janky radio in the first place! THAT could've have been taken offensively
My box fires down, by the way. I hope everything works out well for you, Tcarl. I'll quote MGDork next time to make sure there's no chance of "cornfusion" haha
