    Default Free Air Polk Subwoofer?

    Is there any polk subwoofer --- 10/12" or maybe i could do two 8" instead --- that I can run free air aka infinite baffle ?? Note -- any sub EVER made by polk in the last couple years... EXII / DB / DX / GX / GNX / Momo series I / Momo series II ... anything but the GXR's. I'm looking for very good SQ ... have two 10's in a sealed box in the trunk now off 200 w rms each.... would like ot get the same amount of "bump" but much better sound quality (by having it in the cabin) from the deck sub.

    I've been having problems trying to determine how to get a proper seal / structural integrity with a deck mount box and thats why now i'm trying to consider / plan out the free air idea instead.

    also -- are there any "key things" i should know about doing a free air sub? do they act very different than a normal sub?

    and if there is a polk sub that i can do free air, will ihave to treat it any differently (power handling, adjusting the frequencies allowed to pass through it)??

    thanx in advance.

    *scratches head* --- i dont think the polkies think too much of me cody --- hell i pissed them off waaaay long ago with a big piss and moan debate over why did the momo sub sound nearly identical and handle the same power as the DB did yet its a smallfortune in price more...

    then there was the whole me complainign about wanting 6x9 and coaxial momo speakers 3 yrs ago -- and htem saying that it was inprudent and that high end audio didn't run through coaxials, it went through components...

    annnywaaaayyy.... lol...

    I think the EXII mighta been a possible free-air-er... i'm gonna keep doing some online hunting for pre-done isntalls and see if anyoens used a Free air with a polk.

    thanx cody
