noob question on box rise..

[soundstream15]

i no this is going to be a dumb question but i have no idea what box rise means...i no alot of factors play when upgrading your system because its hard to tell if its going to be louder because of box rise, what is box rise? does it effect how loud the subs are gonna be and is box rise difference with other boxes?

I've never heard of that either..... I'm a noob too though lol.

I googled it and it looks like it's not that important unless you are competing, ya gotta catch all of those db's

after I read the first thread that popped up in good, I said ef it, I really don't care about this anymore lol

i just really wanna no what it is and if it matters or not..cuz alot of factors play into weather or not if (will this be louder)

box rise makes you quieter essentially. causes a raise in impedance, and effectively making your amp output less power.

edit: practically every system ever has some amount of box rise. the guys that build the extreme vehicles try out TONS of box designs to minimize this.

Of course every box is different and how a sub reacts in a given enclosure is going to be different. That's only logical since rise is sub and box dependant. And I have to agree with the above, if youre not competing, and playing tones, don't worry about it.

i never knew this lol

i was not sure if it was a big deal..i have a prefab box but getting a box from dave the box guy so was not sure if prefab boxes have alot of box rise since

there junk as shit..

[EdgarG0721]

If I was u I'll ditch the prefab and learn how to design a better box first. That knowledge is better for u then box rise.

box rise is the devil...will sweep in and steal your hopes and dream and you have no idea what happened and is unpredictable as hell...what helps some decrease it can do nothing for another...it sucks..unless youre a total numbers chaser like said above..dont worry bout it
