[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8849980, member: 689267"] ?? [HEADING=2]Kicker CompVR 43CVR124??[/HEADING] You could go ported, with that driver you will need a 4.5 cubic foot box, for 1 sub, that's a big f'n box! While you can go ported, this driver can also be (and technically speaking) is designed for a sealed enclosure. I ran the numbers on this woofer in in BASS box pro and here is what it said. Both sealed box's are stuff with aproximately 1lb polyfil to 1cubic foot of volume. .7 Cu.
