box size

[caspers bass]

well i was going to build for my aq sdc 2.5 15 and i was going to build to 4 cubes tuned to 33 hz im puttin 950m rms on sub though so is that a good size or should it be bigger/smaller. i think 4 would be good im just trying to make sure

tuning is too low. try around 37hz (what they recommend) and 3.5 cubes

i dont really have experience with AQ woofers so dont quote me as far as the box size goes

with displacements...you mean after you subtract the displacement of the port and sub and bracing? 4cuft after you subtract all that stuff? or 4 before you subtract

alright but ive been told aq's like big boxes and the tunnin people said the hdc's should been tuned like that but someone told me that 33 would be about right for sdc but im really not sure.

I honestly think 4^3 net would be fine, but would tune to 36hz. The motor and suspension allow it to play well below tuning with no issues, but it isn't a low end sub. Tuning to 36-37 should allow you to play a much wider range of frequencies with strength.
