  1. If the room isn't super big, and you are willing to sacrifice some audio quality, go with the Z-5500. It isn't bad sounding, but it won't compete with a good receiver and decent bookshelves.

    The one thing I wouldn't get is the home theater in a box. Everyone I've talked to that knows home theater doesn't really like them. The main reason being if a speaker goes, they normally use proprietary connectors, so you can toss the whole bundle in the trash and get a new one.

    x2...it sounds great for what it is, but by no means does it compare to a true home theater setup.

  2. if you got a 12" btl in a 6 cube box with 2500 RMS im pretty sure youll smell coils and read way up high or nothing on the DMM on the ohm setting especially if you are tuned pretty low ... i.e 28 - 29 hz..

    so i totally agree with the last sentence of his post.

    also, if kicker recommends 4 cubes then why not do 4 cubes @ 40 hz. tuning will play a factor or how much power they'll take in that 4.5 cube box or whatever as well.

    okay but who would put a 12" BTl in a 6 cub box? nobody.

    and i realize that the size of the box will determine how it takes to power, but im saying that that it doesnt always make as big of a difference as some people make it out to seem.

  3. hes talking about the title, box affects wattage. A large box allows the sub to move easier, therefore on the same amount of wattage as in a small box the sub literally can and will have more excursion therefore possibly reaching its mechanical limits depending on the amount of power the subs can handle and what you're running to them. I think i am correct on this, let me know if im not guys, a ported box in general has less sub control over a sealed box in the first place. So yes if your box is too big and you run the manufacturer rated RMS to your subs they could possibly shit out on you.

    but the box doesnt affect the wattage....the wattage the subs will be getting would determine how big/small you should make your box(ported) i have no clue about sealed.

    and i dont agree with your last sentence at all really....say i get a a Fi BTL 12 running 2500 rms in a 3.0 cubic foot box, they would take a shit on me in that box? i dont think so...but hey :pardon:
