Gutta Trash Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I am getting ready to buy 2 15" XL's and the box specs is 3-5 cu. ft. each. I'm wondering what other owners have found to be the best setup for these so I can design the custom bow appropriately.

OrionStang Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I got a 12xl and it sounds better toward the bigger end of recommended specs. You might have to do a couple box builds to see what sounds best. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 DC subs tend to like the lil bigger enclosure and like to be tuned low. I'd shoot for 8 cubes and you'll be rocken. Bills Quote KwB Team DC Audio Midwest captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris from Mi Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 well, the box size is going to be influenced most by how much power you plan on putting on those things Quote Orion 2500D, Jbl Gto 75.4 Team Wolfpack Audio FSQ 15" d2, mb quart xover, tweets peerless 6.5 mids Alpine cda-105 optima up front Knu klm 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKSOLID84 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I find it funny that i have found the exact opposite. Every install is different though. i agree mine hve done better sealed or tuned above 35 with smaller than reccomended... Quote JAMES SAID.. you dont need 1500 for a WOOFER people just love overpowering rather then building for the power recommended THATS A SMART GUY...
