Ok, I've been thinking about redoing my trunk. Which gives a better sound and boom in the coupe; a Sealed Box, Ported Box, or Fiberglass?

I have 2 amps, and two 10" subs

Better sound: sealed (in most cases)
More volume: ported

Fiberglass can be used to make either. The benefit to glass is better space usage and lighter weight, generally speaking.

I have always prefered sealed boxes over ported. Much cleaner, tighter sound. IMO you just get a lot of moosh out of ported boxes.

thanks guys, i'm still undecided. i have like little to no trunk space right now. which is why i want to redo my trunk.
with all the traveling i do, i really need some trunk space back instead of throwing my bags in the backseat.
