Subject: Re: Cubic feet a C4 Coupe by 96LT4CE on 2014/6/5 18:09:40 Are you running the GM-D or PRS series amp? I'm not sure I agree 100% with you on the better subs working in smaller spaces comment being the modern reality. Small space big sound has been around since at least the mid 1990's when Kicker introduced the Solo Baric line. I installed car audio in a couple shops in Chicago from 1993 - 1998 and saw my fair share of installs. Even the W7 line from JL hasn't undergone any significant change since its inception, and that's been 10 years. With that said the biggest downfall to any subwoofer it's the installation. I've seen many a "great" sub sound like crap because it was loaded into a pre fab box or one built all wrong. With that said, even with the excursion of a W7 ( not sure if you meant 13W7 above as I'm not familiar with an 8W13) an 8" doesn't have enough cone area to do what I want it to do, and that's move air! I LOVE sealed box enclosures. they deliver some of the best extension down low where I like it and can get loud but don't deliver the physical, not musical, effects I'm looking for. If you know what a hair trick is that should sum it up for you, if you don't take 5 min to you tube it, it's safe for work, and have a good grin! I love sound quality, but the inner kid in me what's loud. There's a fine line between the two and I want to straddle it. I don't think the days of big ported boxes are gone, hell.... the people I hang out with are proof of that, but I do believe that there is a distinct separation from those that are reasonable in their interpretation of what loud enough is and those like me who want 150db+  In the corvette amp wise I have a lot of choices as I have a lot of amps. I can go DC audio 5K, RF T2500bdcp or I can even go with old school PPI A1200.2 or even DSM series RF just for kicks two summers ago I even rolled around town like this!
