MrSkippyJ Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 and if I am not mistaken, box size does NOT effect thermal power handling. my first thought was "no" but actually it could affect thermal power handling. in a smaller box the speaker moves less vs a larger box on the same power. the only thing that cools a sub is its movement. so if the sub moves less, it cools less. makes sense, right? Yup, it does. I still think it won't be significant. But I do agree with you that that change in movement can effect cooling. it can be very significant i had a tiny box for 2 18's on 4k would not move much would heat up fast and start to smell double the power to 8k they would now move a good amount and would cool themslefs and not smell for long periods of time it all depends on the install like everything Fair enough I will take your actual experience over my untested theory!

DubNDodge Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 You can play notes at tuning in a big box and have the same issue with reduced cone movement. . . What issue?

ALPINE408 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 playing at tunning with burbs subs dont move as much and dont cool themselfs well so you can have the heating/stinking issue as well Have you ever had your woofers blown?
