The only problem is that people very rarily pull out their measuring tape and do the math...and that's usually the leading cause of, "my x setup sounds better than my buddy's y setup".

I personally prefer moderately powered sealed enclosures myself..

My buddy paid for his to be done at an actual car audio shop....paid like 200 bucks to get it setup (+the actual sub spkr and deck) in the car..(box made,dynamate,the whole kit) And my car has been done by me. Had a 350Watt MTX bluethunder and put it into my brothers old 10" bp box and took an old 350 Watt Oasis amp from my neighbor and tweaked it to O/P 425 Watts onto the 350 in the bp box and man I am impressed with it. HTe whole build cost me like $65 (wiring kits.)
