harrisonG Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 well i made another topic about this but it barely got any views so i thought id try in the DC section i did some searching but didnt really find anything that helped me out right now i am awaiting the arrival of a DC lv 4 12 inch sub and i am deciding upon enclosure specs. the thing is i am at college and i live in a dorm and dont have the supplies or tools to make a box so i talked to a local custom shop and the box that we talked about was 1.5 cuft tuned to 38 hz. i listen to mainly rock with some rap and i was told that this would be a good box for my purposes, but what are your guys opinions? thanks for all of the help Harrison Quote 2000 Nissan Xterra -Infinity 6020cs components -Infinity 692.7 6x9s -DC LVL 4 12 -AQ1200 -Pioneer DEHP860MP H/U -4 channel amp for mids and highs???

harrisonG Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) nah everyone was directing their answers towards the builder of the box (the custom shop) because of something i recall him saying, but then everyone just left the thread behind nvm you did comment in it, but im looking more for tuning advice i was originally told 38 would be ok then i mentioned 38 in the thread and everyone was like no thats not going to work. right now i think im going to buy the box 1.5 cuft tuned to 38 unless anyone thinks its an absolutely terrible idea, and then in december im going to build a box about 2 cuft maybe tuned closer to 35 Edited September 28, 2009 by harrisonG Quote 2000 Nissan Xterra -Infinity 6020cs components -Infinity 692.7 6x9s -DC LVL 4 12 -AQ1200 -Pioneer DEHP860MP H/U -4 channel amp for mids and highs???

1992Chevy K1500 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Why waste the money. Go ahead and get a 2 cube box and tune it to whatever you want. I don't know how those DC's would like that little airspace. But I've never run DC's, so I don't know. It's up to you.

harrisonG Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 well from the website it says that the ported specs are 1.5 cuft for a 12. i mean if this box will work i dont really have a problem spending the money until i can build my own if i even need to build my own Quote 2000 Nissan Xterra -Infinity 6020cs components -Infinity 692.7 6x9s -DC LVL 4 12 -AQ1200 -Pioneer DEHP860MP H/U -4 channel amp for mids and highs???

1992Chevy K1500 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah, it should work. But it won't be very loud.

Kranny Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Yeah, it should work. But it won't be very loud. have you actually tested this? i dont know if you have but DC says 1.5 to 2cuft so i think will work fine. i hear 38hz is a great tuning for DC's Edited September 29, 2009 by Krannyman92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
