Quiet Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Only go bigger if you're gonna tune lower. I have an 8" RE that's in a box twice the size recommended tuned stupid low that plays the low notes in Put On, Rack City and Twista's Yellow LIght. no back pressure ftw, i guess I didn't say big box/low tuning was for everyone... but the general rule is a bigger box lends itself to lower tuning. OP, you might need experiment a little to see what you like. Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severancej Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I bet i will like a nice 32 hz tune for sure. the sundowns supposedly like smaller enclosures? Can someone sketch me a nice box design subs up port up Quote 98' dodge ram 140A alt Big 3 XS D2700 JVC kd-r310 Rockford T500-1BDCP 2 Sundown E12 Ported 4cubes 35hz Rockford P400-4 2 Infinity reference 3way 6x9 2 Polk DB 5 1/4 2x layer dynamat all doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severancej Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well they are here and are massive for 110$ each! They play with a deeper tone for sure. My box blows for these woofers I know its wayy offf its not loud enough but it does sounds good.

Born_Again Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Good to hear that OP. I don't have the knowledge to set you up with box specs otherwise I would. What's your plan from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severancej Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Im going to take it easy on them hopefully two weeks I can build that side firing ported box that joex suggested 4 me!!! I was thinking crazy T lines....6th order. Probably way out of my skills lol. Want to upload pics..embarrassed of that crappy carpeted box tho :/ Couldn't get help at the local shop setting gain so i found a 40hz -6db track and set voltage to about 28vac flat eq no peq my voltage dropped to 12.8 :/ don't think I'm getting 800 "birthed" watts but thats ok the new box will probably make a difference.

severancej Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I tried to invert them but it was a failed attempt because without some kind of adapter ring I was worried about the surround brushing the edge of the cut out. Another thing is the mounting flange on the woofer isn't symmetrical so it favors being mounted traditionally unless I make that adapter price I thought up...regardless this box has gtg anyway so idgaf lol Thanks all!
