Triticum Agricolam Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 i don't understand the big boner people get from overpowering subs? can you honestly hear a difference? i prefer to follow instructions and not constantly be smelling and looking at the sub and worrying about that shit so i can just focus on enjoying the music. but hey thats just me You bring up a good point. You can't even hear a difference between 600 and 900 watts.

Cj Kumz Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I appreciate all the info people. And I know running a bigger box with that power isn't ideal. I will build a proper box when the other sa12 comes in.. What my main question was what the disadvantages of a bigger box assuming have the gain set right to account for the box size. Also is there a limit on how big a box can be even when really underpowering Vw Polo Pioneer Deh-6050UB Sundown Saz-3500d DD Audio 9500 15'' 5.5 cubic feet box with 10 inch port @ 38hz I live to hear the Bass drop!!!

Cj Kumz Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 And what are your thoughts over the biggest box that a sub can take?? And in a bigger box should the subsonic still be at 1/2 an octave below tuning since the mechanical handling is lowered Vw Polo Pioneer Deh-6050UB Sundown Saz-3500d DD Audio 9500 15'' 5.5 cubic feet box with 10 inch port @ 38hz I live to hear the Bass drop!!!

kirill007 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks for the info. But is there any downfall of using a big box. What I mean is ofcourse when underpowering a big box is fine but shouldn't there be a max limit to how big a box can be?? Ofcourse we can't go throwing a 1000w 12" into a 5cube box and power with 100w and expect it to work right lol Yes, peakier response, less mechanical power handling, higher group delay, higher peak impedance,...
