    bass boost is not a volume knob! build ported box per specs for what ever sub. capacitors are a joke for anything over 1k watts buy a HO alt and a batcap or xtatic battery specifically designed for car audio. IMO 12s and up belong in a ported box 8's and 10s sounds great in a sealed box, it all depends on what you listen to.

    I don't.

    As long as you abide by physics you can make any speaker sound the way you want. 12's are no different than 8's except for size. Size has nothing to do with whether it should be sealed, bandpassed, ported, horn'ed...whatever. Thiele-small specifications help you consider "best" application for a speaker.
    11 is louder than 10!
