Ahh, gotta love those prefab half sealed, half ported boxes! Just so you know, its called a bandpass box. Most prefab boxes in general are crap, bandpass even moreso because the sealed to ported ratio, tuning frequency and port area needed varies from sub to sub so just slapping in a pair of subs just cause they fit the opening and not knowing the specs of the box or the needs of the subs isnt usually a good idea. Those prefabs half sealed, half ported boxes are usually tuned pretty high to accomodate and mask its shortcomings so it sounds loud but if you were to plot its response I assure you there would be a huge peak between 40-50hz with a major drop off below 40 and above 50-55 hz. If you were to hear a properly tuned and built bandpass box I promise your opinion of your setup would change.

Not bashing, just letting you know.
