    Ported boxes hit harder but IMO they are not as "clean" of a bass sound when compared to a sealed box. Our trucks don't have the room under the seats for a correctly sized ported box, unless it was custom made and/or used those shallow mount subs.

    I have always ran 12s before these 10s. I had 2 12s in a 87 toyota and it was beating clocks off the wall. lol I miss having a 12, but would settle for a 12, but like you said, there isnt enough room for a properly ported box.

    After 5 years working automotive electrical at the chassis up fitter, I worked as a MECP installer at a major retail store.
    Installing systems in other people's rides.
    The notable ones were the cars that came in with their factory wiring looking like someone had taken a hacksaw to them. Frayed beyond belief, they appeared to be some sort of copper wire art that looked like a bush or tree.

    Ranger XLT:
    XM Roady
    Alpine:
    CDA-9885
    MRP-F250 4 channel
    SPS-507 x 4

    MTX:
    Terminator TN250/1 amp bridges to 2 ohms on Two MTX single coil 12's.
    .5F cap with an Optimus Yellow top satellite battery

    F250:
    Pioneer DEH-P7200HD USB
    Pioneer XM P-BUS direct cable (no FM modulator)
    Cerwin Vegas x 4
    Audiobahn Mono A8000T
    Two Audiobahn 12's dual voice coil wired at 2 ohm in a
    custom box behind the seat.
    1.0F cap

    Next project: take the MTX out of the Ranger and put in
    Two Alpine SWX 1243D
    and Alpine MRP-M1000
    Their sitting in boxes in the garage waiting on spring weather to arrive.

    you may wanna add another m1000 to that list.. i had two m1000s for my type r's and it was enough.. your sub is WAY bigger.

    Anyways, i am gonna start gettin my pieces together for my system. I'mg gonna go with 2 Alpine Type R 12" Subs with a MRP M-2000 powering them.. I already have 4 Alpine type R 6x9s in the doors and a 7" touch screen dvd player for my head unit
