Daddy_ Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Would a Sundown X 15 running off a Sundown 1500D work in a box thats 3.5 cubes net tuned to 32 hertz with 68-72sqin of port area. Or is the net volume too small and be better off going with 12" Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I personally think that's to small of area. Port seems ok but needs more area ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy_ Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I personally think that's to small of area. Port seems ok but needs more area Yeah it needs 4.25 and thats the biggest box I can give it without giving up port area. I guess I'd be better off with a x 12 Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 A X15 should work fine in 3.5 cubes IMHO.

DLHgn Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Port area maybe ok for that single 15 but I'll have to check in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy_ Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Yeah I think port area is fine but the box is too small. A x 15 needs 4.25 net volume so I'm short 0.75 cubes. Rather be better off with 2 12 sa or maybe a single x 12 Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather be better off with 2 12 sa or maybe a single x 12 There isn't just one single number for how much box volume a sub needs. Any sub will work in a range of box volumes. Different size enclosures will change how the sub sounds. An X15 would work just fine in a 3 cu ft box if you wanted, it would just perform a little differently. If you read on Sundown's website they talk about how the X series will work in the same small box sizes as their other subs (the SA-15's recommended space is 3.0 - 4.0 subs), it can work in UP TO a 4.25 cu ft box. You will be fine in 3.75 cu ft.

DLHgn Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I don't know the specs on those subs you listed but the problem with running two twelve instead of a single 15 is that you will need the power to support them and you may need more port area depending on the power being supplied to them (and of course other factors besides that). I would look up the specs and plot it for you but I'm not at my computer right now and am going to be busy all day but if it still needs to be done tonight I will be more than happy to help.

Daddy_ Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Would I be better off running the x15 in 3.5 cubes or running the 2 12s in 3.5 cubes running off the same power which is sundown 1500d. Any difference I'll see between the x15 and 2 sundown sa other than it will be louder. The x 15 will kill the lows right?
