Trocks96 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I started my first build with 2 15 in kicker cvrs. My box is currently roughly 8.3 cubic feet tuned to about 32 hz, i went that big because i wanted to hit the lows really well. But now i want to get louder and ive been given advice to make a new smaller box and i plan on tuning a little higher maybe 34-35. How much smaller should i make this new box or any other advice?

Joe X Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Just tune to 36-38 and set your subsonic filter to 32Hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x91evo Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Im pretty sure 8 cubic feet for two 15" kickers is a little much..What is spec for each speaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 No those Kickers love da cubes. 8 is probably right on. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trocks96 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 8 has to be a little much. its not as loud as it should be but at the same time im running smaller wires than i should be. ive got 16g to the speakers and 4g for the power and ground. im gonna be running my 4g wire to the speakers as soon as i can get 0g for the power and ground. the minimum ported enclosure is 3 cubes and the max is 5. im just starting to plan a new box and its gonna be about 7 cubes total including port volume. im just going for a little louder because my current settup just isnt the greatest for 2 15s. it could be louder.

bkolfo4 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Why do you think making the box smaller will make it louder? Are you going to run more power? Tune higher. Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

Trocks96 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 a friend of mine thats got 1 12 that kicks my speakers ass so i asked for some advice and he told me to make it about a cubic foot smaller. i only plan on changing my power and ground wire to some 0 gauge. and running some 4 gauge from my subs to the amp. the next box i builds gonna be tuned a few hz higher. so im just gathering info from everyones oppinion if just a little smaller of a box and some bigger wire would make me bump louder.
