Nightshade Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 07sicoupe, I know your brother Jake. I competed at many of the same events as him this past summer in Ohio. As long as there's no port noise your good then. It just looks awfully narrow and I would expect some port noise out of it, but if there's none than that's great. 28sqin per sub isn't a lot, but I'm guessing that you wanted it to be tuned very low for some daily listening. I have more sqin for the 12's that I have right now and will have more for the 15's that I'm getting ready to do. I wonder why Jake went with such a small port and box even for a daily setup. 7.5 cubes for a pair of 18's is pretty small too. Usually 18's work well in 4-8 cubes each, but as long as it sounds good and it thumps thats great!!!

Nightshade Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 That's cool man. I'll be in Ohio for a few shows this summer. I recently moved from there to North Carolina so I won't make as many as I did last year, but I will be there for some. Good luck with the car and I'll be here waiting to see some videos of it when it's done. I also plan on talking to your bro here about an alt for my car soon. I was going to get one a while back but decided to wait a little while on it and do some other stuff first.
