I live in Florida. And it doesn't matter if it takes up my back seats. I would love to have one and it would sound awesome

Very true. And what I meant for not enough air is if you have a sealed box and have a ported box the same size then the sealed will sound better because the sub has to have a constant amount of air in the box for it to sound right. It does sound a lot better and cleaner as long as you have the space for it. I don't have a lot of room in my f150 considering its a single cab and my ported box made everything in the truck rattle!

Yea it will do that lol, I have a kicker 15" L7 with 3500 Watts going to it... this thing bumps especially while in the ported box. I had a 94 explore in great condition when I first got it the sub hit hard and sounded good but over time u could hear everything start to rattle more and more, buy the time I sold it there were screws that had been tattled all the way out, it ended up breaking the moon roof and just driving around it just sounded like everything was loose doors, windows pretty much everything lol sounded sick though lol set off a lot of car alarms and had one noise ticket that I believe was around 300-400$$ but it was a worth it lol
