You listen to a long of like jazz or country go sealed.

Disregard everything above. We have plenty of power with our alternators and you only run off your battery when the vehicle is off.

You need to research and install your grounds appropriately if you have dimming issues. Big 3 doesn't benefit our vehicles but proper grounding does.

Speaker response is proportionate to your choice of installation. Moving a sealed box from one spot in the trunk to the complete opposite side will change the way it sounds. Any type of box will sound great with ANY music if attention to details is maintained and you tune the box and system appropriately. You don't choose ported, sealed, bandpassed, or anything else because you're looking for a "sound". You choose the best installation options that fit your needs and application.

Dig it, cats.
