pre-fab box I had sounded louder than the 1" m.d.f. box I built


Recommended Posts

I have 2 l7 15's and 2 l7 12's in a hatchback trans am..I know dont mix and match sub sizes..but both boxes where pre- fab boxes..both boxes are sealed..I pulled a 148.9 on the kick and 148.7 on the dash..I rebuilt the 15 box from a pre-fab 2.5 per side to a 3.1 per side homemade box with bracing out of 1" m.d.f. fully sealed with bolt term....I can see a big loss in db and sound any thoughts???? ...I will go ported after slamology

you rebuilt a prefab ? did i read that right?

And you built to the smallest reommmended size for those subs and how much port did you give them and what did you tune to?

Sealed right? Only thing I can think of is that 3cuft is too big for them. If I had to guess the smaller box peaked closer to you vehicles peak. When you made the box bigger, this lowered the box peak outside of that "sweet spot"

Could also be that you are getting more cancellation with the 12s now due to to phase.
