AmericanLegend Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I worked for Best Buy for a while and, when I got there, the lead autotech was building boxes off of specs recommended by kicker. They sounded horrible! The customers that paid custom money for those boxes got screwed because they don't play low bass with that small box and high tuning. You had better design a box to your sub with help from somebody on the forum before you waste your time building a woofer (not SUBwoofer) box.... Quote

ryan916 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 No I think he recommended the 30 for the 2.1 cubes which is right in the rule of thumb area. Punkrok not sure why you think its a problem Quote
cjvue Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I've always have great luck with 12-14 sq in per cube on the 15". I don't know if the 12's would be the same.

fueledbysound Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 for peak performance for loudness 2.1 cuft/sub tuned to 38-40 hz.....!? The optimum enclosure is more like 3.75 cu. ft. per 12" L7 with a large port. I cannot remember the size of the port but if you call over there to Kicker they will give you the dims (don't ask a sales rep, they don't know). If you are lucky and anyone is left at Kicker that knows anything about car audio then they will give you the hot setup for that sub. I have built many of them used in PA systems at events and in event semis and they crank with big QSC amps running them. If you want to get straight to the best source there at Kicker, try to get a hold of Kip. If you can't get him then try tech support but good luck.
