teamace24 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Have a custom 7.25 net box tuned at 34hz for 2 15 subs. Had two Kicker cvx 15 and an audiopipe 1500rms on it and although it got loud it lacked on the lows a little thinking most likely because it was a little on the small side (3.5cubes each). Im sending those back and have a budget of $400 so two sundown subs sa 15 was what i was researching. Problem is i do not have any experience at all with sundown so i do not know if my box is at the optimum end of their requirements, sent them an email but they did not reply. My box has a lot of port area like 16 inches per cube so im a little worried that it might be too much even though i have no idea if its really that big of a deal. My hope is to be louder on the same power with the sundowns compared to the cvx all while sounding better and hitting lows better. Any help?

727Designs Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm running mine in 3.25 net at 35hz and it loves it. Should be fine at 3.5. 16in^2 of port should work well also.

ISO Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I find it hard to believe a box built to 3.5 cubic feet after port and woofer displacement and tuned to 35 hertz is not playing low enough for you. I'm also really shocked that you feel the CVX is not competent enough. I think it is because you are not running enough power to them. You are putting 1500 watts of not the cleanest power on a set of subs that can handle a quality 2500 watt amp. Whether it be Sundown or Kicker's 2,500 watt amp you just don't have enough power on them. And if you think that you are on the small side for a box for a 15 then what are you going to think about the SA 15 taking a 3 cubic foot box tuned to 35 hertz. LOL!!! Here man the box recommendation is on this page. http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70_71&products_id=281 Ported @ 3.0 cubes tuned to 35 Hz - F3 of 30 Hz It would really help if you bought a decent amp and no I'm not bashing or joking.
