I've always tried to opt for a behind seat or console box. They both can suffer from muffling too, but usually you can aim them in a way so they have at least a somewhat clear path. A ported box and subs that like porting will give you more sound with less physical volume if calc'd correct.
I've seen some guys space their seat up slightly, then build a larger enclosure for sealed or in-firing subs. |
one of the reasons i like the DD SL7 10 or 12 is you get full excursion like a normal sub and the magnet provides space for the to happen. me personly, il be doing a t-line blowthru to avoid all those issuses but most are not willing to go that far
