Cons of running subs in small enclosures

[tristan560]

So what are the cons of running a SSD 15 in 2-2.5 cubes after displacements. Ported off 1100w tuned to 35. Versus same sub in a 3-3.5 cube box.

Well ive noticed from my testing.. you get higher impedance rise in smaller enclosures

This is pretty much a common theme with smaller enclosures.

I'm just worried about loosing low end output.

The driver will take a hell of a lot more power to get even semi-loud ( I see a 142-143db legal hard to get, esp out of a trunk).

The driver will not unload the best due to the small non efficient box. Your speaker would need close to double its rms to get kinda loud roughly.

I really wanna get rid of my wall. It's the system in my sig. 4 15s off about 5k. But my max dim are 38.5x20x28.

Well, consider it gone.

It will sound no where near your 4 15s walled.

Im assuming your just going to build a box for all 4 15s then?

IMO You would be better off taking that 5krms you got, and build 1 decent box for the 2 15s, and keep the other 2 for spairs or sell them.

It is fact that a 10 inch driver will outperform a 12 inch driver if the 12 inch driver is confined too to small of a space. (using the same power, vehicle box, etc).
