And does anyone have full range boxes??

The sound quality of any sub is dependant on the box. The shape doesn't matter, but making sure that the box has the proper airspace for that particular sub does.

Most full range units are inexpensive units that sound inexpensive.

Jim's right. shape does not matter. if the two boxes have identical airspace, they'll hit the same. truck boxes are just ment to be able to fit in the small space behid a truck's seat

Agreed with the rest. Full range boxes are a thing of the past. Who wants their highs and mids playing in the trunk or behind a seat.
