skittlesRgood Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Bigger box will play further below the tuning point, it will also be more efficient. But at the same time, have less power handling and depending on the application - might sound a bit more boomy vs. a punchy sound. I've always been partial to the sound of a larger box, but that's all personal preference. i dont play my boxes below tuning but i would imagine a smaller box could play below tuning better. the reason being, a small box has more air pressure when playing. that pressure is a part of the speaker's suspention. more stiffer suspention means more cone control. thats why a larger box is more efficient, softer suspentions so the cone moves easier.

It's always been my experience that a smaller box will drop off pretty fast below tuning, while a larger box will play a bit more below the tuning point before dropping off. I have no clue why though. It does seem to go against logic lol Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see an option to PM you on your profile, so sorry OP if I hijack real quick Joe, would you be able to do one of those plots for 2 Kicker Comp 12s on 200 watts in a 3.8 ft^3 net tuned to 32Hz? Don't know how much of this info you actually need or if you need more but it'd be much appreciated! Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM_Designs Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I prefer larger boxes as well for the bump in output below 40hz....seems to level things out and get rid of the annoying 50hz+ bass that I can't stand at high volumes. Tune low enough and you pretty much never have to worry about your sub(s) unloading below tuning(with music). Right now I'm running a single 10" Assassin(TC2+ motored) in 1.5ft^3 at 28hz...been using that box for a long time and love it.

I love the way that 10 cube box peaks at 35 but the size is not going to work. How about if we lower box hz to 26hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee421 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 So buy looking at the graphs do the box sound diff or is it just louder at that frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shrink the box , you loose bass despite the tuning frequency being the same for all 3 boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
