TylerParrish Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 my gains are set with the dd1 with the -5 tone.i am reading my voltage straight from the amp now i have to wonder why my voltage is dropping so low..... >_> gains might be set to high man might be, I'm not sure, have my gain just under half, no bass boost, and i normally never play at full tilt, keep it about half way on the on the bass knob. well like I said, I think this box is 1cube too big and was meant for higher RMS than the sub can handle ive got less or equal than the sub can handle so I think that's why I have it at 3/4. I think my first step will be a smaller box. maybe 2.5 cubes? smaller would accommodate for lower power handling right? bigger boxes normally mean they handle less power. what kind of sub do you have, build the box to the specs for your sub(s).

American Bass's website is stuck in the past unfortunately. I would start a new thread asking about people's experience with the sub and suggestions for a box. Also, if u have no experience with box building, you might wanna have someone design you one.
