Because I didn’t add any foam to the speaker box, I can’t say what additional difference that would make. What I will say is that the addition of the port tubes alone was surprisingly effective; so much so it changed my thoughts about the whole setup. I’m still installing an amp and a 12” sub in a couple of weeks, but I no longer plan to disconnect the stock subwoofers, nor would I consider replacing them. I think they will provide decent mid bass and I can let the 12 focus on lower frequency funkitude.
I did also replace the side/rear speakers with coaxial infinities. I actually like that improvement as much as porting the subs. I did lose a bit of volume as I have to fade to the back to get the same front-rear balance as I wouldif everything was stock, but I don’t runout of volume, so no big deal. I use the fader and rear speakers to attenuate some of the harshness of the front tweeters.
