Slinky Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Why do people put everything under an umbrella? example "I received one of my SoundQubed subs and there wasn't enough glue on the triple joint which caused it to fail, therefore all SoundQubed subs are shit...." Point is, not all prefabs are bad. This one is uber shitty but they aren't all like that. I have personally used multiple audio enhancers and atrend boxes back when I was in high school and they were built very very strong and sounded decent. Hell I put 2 HDC412's on 2 aq3500's at a half ohm each in an atrend box as a temporary setup and it withstood that amount of power. Think before you type people.

boxgeek217 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 LOL I never use a prefab on anything that's getting 250 RMS or more! Have seen way too many of them do things like the video. Last one I saw was a single 15 box that was literally only held together by brad nails and the glue for the carpet. What?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep03 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Like I said its a year old. It actually went through 3 different pair of subs before I got my sundowns. As the impatient little boy that I am, I went ahead and installed them. Now when I get my new box I woll be able to tell from quality and shit.

Weigel21 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I've used a few Prefab enclosures. Haven't had such an experience yet, but then again, I guess I'm one of those who uses less powerful subs. At this point in time, i haven't anything rated at more than 425RMS. I've built my fair share of enclosures too, and sadly, I've built worse enclosures than I've bought prefab. Granted, they were my first and second sealed enclosures I put together back when I was a super knowledgeable 15y/o and then there was my first ported enclosure I made, which sounded like crap. Think I was 16, might have been 17. Anyways, I'll fully agree that prefab is not as good as what one can usually build themselves. Generic ported prefab enclosures tend to suck, being . that they aren't made for a specific sub, but at the same time, ported enclosures aren't forgiving of tolerance error if one were to make their own.

Mowgli Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 You guys are just behind the times. That is a variable vane ported enclosure. Just like the turbos Porsche uses. Very cutting edge stuff.
