LVL4JEEP

This might help a lil bit... here's the sub in action, cam has crappy sound pickup. as u can see i've been playing with the box (baffle) its all slowed music. http://www.caraudio.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMSzTqB9aaHw http://www.caraudio.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCWboA3yrb4g

I heard that 12-16 is rule of thumb.. Why so high? Just wondering what does that change?? You will move more air for one. Also, I find that skinny ports have more chance for port noise. Another question.. How big is a diff going to 3.3cuft from 3.8??

I heard that 12-16 is rule of thumb.. Why so high? Just wondering what does that change??

that 6.2cuft is gross volume of the box (after port and sub), internal its 3.8cuft net. I went to 29hz because I love lows, but I lost tons of output on normal music. Just expirmenting... I've built 3 boxes for this sub, I'm just trying to gain knowledge about boxes and the best way I learn is to just build them.

Hey, first post here. Right now I'm running a DC LVL 4 15 off of a T1000bd. I built my box using the Torres Box builder. My box is 6.2 cuft @ 29hz ~60in sq port after port and displacement of sub. Internal volume is 3.8cuft. Port witdth 3.25 and area per sqft abt. 14in. I have no clipping issues, thermal issues, ect. The sub sounds muddy playing music. Playing slowed music it will sound much better but I can hear it bottoming out sometimes (playing full tilt). Would shrinking the box size to about 3.0cu ft net and upping the tuning help? 32-34hz. Would it be more sutiable for a loud DD?? I've played with the tuning over and over but can't find a sweet spot. Before I had a box built for me. 3.3gross, 2.0net @ 33hz and it almost sounded like the sub was fighting against itself (poss distortion) it would heat up /stink almost instantly with anything below 50hz. Would a box way underspec cause thermal issues? I can play S&C music all day on this box and it hasn't even got hot. Thanks in advance.
