[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8768805, member: 591582"] Why don't you try a different brand of sub? I know someone who switched from a JL12w6 in JL's pre-made ported enclosure to an Sa-12 Classic and liked the Sa-12 better. I see JL's as "soft" subs. There's woofers that aren't as expensive that are louder and still sound pretty good in an enclosure designed specifically for how you listen to music and your vehicle environment. You may need to choose a setup based around the type of music you listen to, with a sub and a box. Generic ported boxes are just that. They're a generic airspace; port area, tuning, and sub/port layout based off either what the sub likes or what the manufacturer just chooses for whatever reason. Custom is everything designed specifically around your ears. You can really change what a sub does with changing the box. [/QUOTE]
