close the ports for a start, has the box got insulating foam inside? is the sub face facing a boot panel or back of the seats?

'generally speaking', smaller the sub, the quicker it can move, so youre more likely to get your thud, better for dance music, 15s better for RnB

i took the speaker out and the thickness is 15mm mdf so its a decent box from Vibe.

Tonight I am gonna try a 10" vibe amp/sub combo (similar to mine) to see if the bass is different

So I'm guessing the 10" was no better?

well, i got a 10" Vibe set up and it is miles better than the 12" i previously had. its a much smaller box but seems to be louder and punchier so i am happy with that - £40 well spent!
