hzsogood Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 This is just going to be a simple test box.. I was having a few issues with one of the coils on my other lvl 3 and am just going to take it out for now, because its making the whole system sound like crap.. I know they perform better in ported, but my current box is around 3 cf net, which isnt going to work either.. So If I do a simple 15x15x15 sealed just for the time being I will have 1.26 cf net after displacement.. @ 2 ohms my AQ1200 claims 870 @ 14 volts, so Im guessing it will Be around 700rms "real world"? Ive never build a sealed box so never really cared, but how does bigger ( say 1.5 cf ) vs smaller ( .75 ) affect the sound as opposed to the manufacturers "suggestion" of 1.0 cf?

Watch the bass Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I only know that Loganberry put 2 lvl 3 in a sealed enclosure, in a old Mustang and was very suprised about the sound!.

hzsogood Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yea I might be surprised as well!! Just not expecting much.. Just a temp box til I can get a recone done.. I would actually like a single lvl 3 or 4 15... Just something that sounds clean and plays the lows well.. But thats for another day.. On to this.. Will a little larger sealed enclosure be OK for this on 700 or so rms? I keep reading alot of ppl are going with slightly larger than suggested sealed enclosures , but they dont state why or what the benefits are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr15 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 1.26 will be fine, and I wouldnt be surprised at all if it surprises you. The LVL 3s are fairly linear, so I bet you get a nice bandwidth sealed. Generally, a larger box will allow better low end extension. I also think that sealed box's being quiet are overstated. Certainly not as loud as a well built ported box, but i have ran single sealed 12 setups in the past on 1k that did plenty well enough.

Watch the bass Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Underpowering = bigger box than threw the spec´s. Quote "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
