To be honest I was pretty scared of this box failing, but it definetly did not. I did have to change the design to make the 4in port fit. I also decided to reverse mount the sub to make the rear chamber about 2 cu ft. I also had to recalculate my ports to get the right tuning, the 4in is 17in long and exactly 30hz tuning. And the 8in is 9in long and exactly 60hz tuning.
My first impression with the my kenwood amp was wow this thing plays pretty loud for one 12 over a large frequency range even the lower 20's. So overall it sounds good when the dang amp doesnt fade in and out :scream:.
Now to the fun part!!! I borrowed my friends saz-2500 and wired it up at 1 ohm. The whole time playing the lowest i saw was 11.7v. I was amazed, my
[email protected] would take me down to 11v flat if i wasnt paying attention . The box sounded amazing!!!!! I could not believe how low this thing got. It played down to 27hz(plays down to 20 just isnt as loud) before it started sounding muddy because the rear chamber doesnt have much port area. This box no joke plays from 28-60 with authority. Would i suggest this design for a low power build, probably not. But for high power application this design seems like it would work really good and play all kinds of music with a flat response.
And yes the box is ugly, but ugly is loud so idgaf:D
